Spread your lies through the herds of sheep.
The ape king will get his keep.
We obey down on our knees.
Forever slaved.
We can't break free.
Fuck the pigs.
Corrupt. Unjust.
You just feed their power lust.
And no one's safe. No one's safe.
This is the curse of the human race.
No time for the weak.
No time for anything, but his greed.
We don't fear the sun.
We don't fear anyone.
No one's safe.
Fuck your power trip.
You're full of shit.
Your fucking judgment makes me sick.
You spread your lies.
You create hate.
Listen to the way you sound
You're so full of it
I know this, I know that
Such a hypocrite
Talking down at everyone
Think you're always right
Push your thoughts on someone else
I know what you're like
Power trip
Power trip
The things that you say
Are better left unsaid
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Shut your mouth
Shut it, shut it
Shut your fucking mouth
[Solo]
Oh so low
Oh so low
Enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Power trip
Power trip
[Intro:]
Who's got the power?
[Verse 1 (Pro):]
The key to life: money, power, respect
Louie this, Gucci that, two private jets
Big money, big business, watch that paper stack
Treat life like a game, it ain't pool but I'm racked
Up, big bucks, no whammys
I swear I prolly lump somebody head for a Grammy
My heart black as the Lambo Kim bought for Kanye
And I ain't fronting, I'm just telling ya'll what God say
Blood thirsty
Seek my own will since the day that Adam cursed me
The lust for power go to ya' brain if you let it
You say, "What up dog?" I hear "god." I'm so dyslectic
Sit on the throne, it's really a toilet, heart is septic
I have no power, I get handed death, I must accept it
It's hard to see the light when you never listen
Our whole life's blacked out, the power's tripping
[Hook (Lecrae):]
Who's got the power?
Do you really want it all, whole world in ya' palm? Tell me,
Who's got the power?
It'll make you a leader or a tyrant, you do the decidin'
Who's got the power?
Do you really want it all, whold world in ya' palm? Tell me,
Who's got the power?
It'll make you a leader or a tyrant, you do the decidin'
[Verse 2 (Lecrae):]
It was all a dream
I grew up readin' hip-hop magazines
Double-XL got me wanton to excel
They tellin' me it ain't hard to tell, I rock well
And now with every sale I'm feelin' my head swell
Well, I'm a genius in my dreams
Even if I was, it was stitched inside my genes
I'm self-inflated, self-infatuated
And somehow I convinced myself I finally made it
The truth is I was made like the mob
Geppetto put me together; my strings lead to God
Pride come befo' the fall, I seen it in the script
So if you see me fallin', prolly a power trip
[Hook]
[Verse 3 (Sho Baraka):]
Welcome to the culture where humility is not allowed
They do it big, if you don't see that, you Shallow Hal
Tryna show them how love and power, it goes together
If they call us losers, that just means we last forever
I been connected to the power, I don't have to chase it
I roll with the Trinity, this is sorta the Matrix
A hard pill to swallow: we're evil to the core
Wicked power exploits the poor, and it brings war
Power can be a field of dreams loaded with land mines
We know the ruler so you can't say these are bad lines
(You might lust for that power! ), but don't forget that we're forgiven
I know the Lord gon' catch me when I'm power trippin'
[Verse 4 (Andy Mineo):]
Who made the crowd put they hands in the sky? Me.
Who made the sky with they hands? What if y'all can't see?
This is kinda strange, God makes the weather change
And we braggin' up on our change like "look how we make it rain!"
We Invictus, this sin sickness is in us
Running a muck and causing that mischief, tell me this then, "Who could really fix us?"
I'm, trippin' to think that I'm really not limited in this position in sitting in,
Gravity pulling me back to earth gradually, reality's hittin'
I want to be
A cowboy star upon the screen
Oh hey and I want to drive
My cowboy car across the scene
Oh hey and I want to write
The magazines housewives read
And I want to be
In control of everything
I want to be King
I want to make the toys
You buy for Christmas Eve
Yeah and I want to be
The father of the ethnic child
Who stars on T.V.
Oh yeah and I, I want to write
The magazines that housewives read
Oh hey and I want all the leaders
Of the Third World
To answer to me
I want to be King
I want to be King
So maybe now the Pope
Will bow and kiss my ring
[Music: Adams / Harrington]
[Lyrics: Esquivel / Harrington / Kaufmann]
Freakshow in the streets
Take over what they please
One word we thought was safe
Too late, the crime was made
We the people, where do we
stand
Is there a way to resolve
The power trip in this land
[Chorus:]
The power trip in this land
The power trip which we see
The power trip that we fear
The power trip...
Don't put a price on reality
Can't put a price on poverty
Don't put a pine on humanity
You know I doubt your morality
[Repeat chorus]
So why must we fight
Scared for this life
See the man deprived of freedom
As he's stripped of his life
So why must we die
Snipped of his life
See a man deprived of freedom
As he begs for his life
[Repeat chorus]
Don't put a price on reality
Can't put a price on poverty
Don't put a price on humanity
You know I doubt your integrity
Face to face, no time to waste
This is the time for revenge
Your claim to fame of crushing dreams
Your control has no hold on me, has no hold on me
I hate the way, you have no shame
You act like nothing's happened
It's time to rise, the final fight
This is the last time
I will not fail again, I will not let you win
Fuck your power trip
I'll throw away the wasted days
The chance for revenge
My claim to fame ended in vain
This was the last time
I will not fail again, I will not let you win
Fuck your power trip, I will not fail again
I will not let you win, fuck your power trip
You are the one who's forsaken us all
Nothing has changed so together we fall
I am the one who's led us to believe
You can't change me
I will not fail again, I will not let you win
Fuck your power trip, I will not fail again
I will not let you win, fuck your power trip
