West released a collaborative album, Watch the Throne with Jay-Z in 2011, which is the duo's first collaborative album. His five solo albums, all of which have gone platinum, have received numerous awards and critical acclaim. As of 2012, West has won a total of eighteen Grammy Awards, making him one of the most awarded artists of all-time. All albums have been very commercially successful, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy becoming his fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the U.S. upon release.

Plot
Vera is a femme fatale for the 21st century; a beautiful, capricious young woman living in New York whom begins exploring the limits of her sexual and intellectual power. She picks up men on the street and has sex with them in her apartment. She also videotapes a sexual romp with a female lover, and has sexually frank discussions with her potential employer. As the daughter of wealthy, indulgent parents, Vera seems to be improvising her way through the beginning of her life as an adult. Her boyfriend, Ford, is a fast-talking hustler prepared to do anything to make a buck. Aware of Vera's promiscuity, Ford sees a chance to make big money when he meets an aging Italian media mogul, named Count Tommaso, who is enamored of Vera because of her sexuality, her intelligence, and what he perceives as her naiveté. Ford cooks up an idea to pimp Vera out to the Count for $100,000, easy money, if he can only talk Vera into it. Incredibly, she agrees. Everything appears to be going even better than planned. But both men have gravely underestimated Vera, who has an agenda of her own. Ford and the Count unwittingly play right into her hands, and when her plan of deception and manipulation comes to fruition, the results are staggering.

Revenge is beautiful
[Ford is trying to convince Vera to sleep with the Count for money]::Ford: I'm a mentor. I'm not a hustler. I'm a conduit, I'm a circuit. Listen... Listen to me very carefully. My whole mission on this planet right now in relation to you is to introduce you to yourself. You know that. You're a deeply sexual human being. You have major erotic power. The easiest thing, and the most selfish, would be to convince you to lend yourself to one person, even if that one person was myself. That would be suffocating to you, and ignoble of me. That's what a hustler would do, and I refuse to hustle. I'm looking to lead you down the path of Ovid and Sappho, D.H. Lawrence, Edna Saint Vincent Millay, to say nothing of the whole hip-hop revolution. It's the path of the Bible: "Seek and you shall find. Know thyself". You're so ready right now to open yourself to discover your capacity for multiple men; multiple in the sense of at least a few. Maybe not at the same time, but sequentially. And - I know I'm getting ahead of myself here and you might not want to hear this because you're at least a year away from being there - but at some point you gonna be ready to explore women. And enjoy them. They already desire you all the time; you're just oblivious to it. But that's down the road, let's stick to the present for now: all that I'm asking is that you meet the Count...::Vera: [interrupting him] Set it up.::Ford: [not believing his ears] Really?
[first lines]::Ford: [on his cellphone] Yeah, but is it lucrative? Yeah, you gotta consider... You gotta always consider the cost-path ratio. Ask Yuri. Hold on a second... Hello?... Yo, wassup?
[last lines]::Vera: [on her phone] Hi, mom? Um... not good, actually. Yeah, is... is dad there? Okay, I, um... I'm gonna come over and talk to you guys, okay? No... No, I'm gonna, um... I'm gonna take a shower and get myself together. I'd rather tell you when I get there, all right? Okay. I love you, too.

Plot
The Prologue shows man as 'Power,' garbed in Greek-classic costume, standing at the parting of life's highway. One road leads to 'Success' - the other to ''Failure'. He (Power) is confronted by a figure emblematic of 'Pleasure,' who points to out to him "the easiest way," then 'Ignorance' leads him to the end of the road. where 'Destruction' stands. The classic figures disappear and the story begins: 'Power-The Absentee' leaves his factory in charge of his manager 'Might." who wrecks the property in order that his wife, 'Extravagance," and his daughter, 'Vanity,' may devote themselves to lives of selfish pleasure. It is only when 'Justice,' the office stenographer. forces 'Power' to right the harm done to his employees that he sees the error in believing that 'Might' is right. Then comes the realization that 'Justice' should go hand-in-hand with 'Power," and so they are wed, and 'Ambition,''Opportunity' and 'Success' array themselves on his side.

Five Part Mutual Masterpicture
you're politically correct no matter what you say
convincing us all in every single kind of way
cos you frame the words so that we really believe
that there's a depth in the message that you're trying to achieve
so you twist your tongue to make it all sound true
making us believe that we haven't got a clue
you tell us all exactly what you think we want to hear
with theatrical tactics to boost your career
every promise you make is just a promise you break
and you can never admit that you could make a mistake
because you say one thing and you mean something else
you only care about yourself and your wealth
so all i say is
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
do you want it, why do you want it
with your military mind you were born a leader
and discipline and order is an everyday procedure
so bring out the man in every innocent boy
and teach them how to kill so they can search and destroy
to protect and to serve and die with honour and pride
you say you're fighting for peace but that's the biggest lie
you're preparing for war and your martial law
but you don't know what it's for anymore
so all i say is
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
do you want it, why do you want it
power is a sickness power is to blame
power is a weapon and it's driving me insane
power is an enemy
power is pain
power is a war but to you it's just a game
power is glory
power is gold
power is chaos and you're out of control
power isn't freedom
power is a cage
power is your sin and it feeds my rage
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
do you want it, why do you want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
do you want it, why do you want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
do you want it, why do you want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
do you want it, why do you want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
(Verse)
All our power, doesn’t mean anything at all.
All our power, ends in horror, but we don’t learn
anything at all.
(Verse)
Holy markets, black next quarter,
The vampire squid needs to feed.
Such disaster, children screaming,
The profits they have decreed.
(Verse)
So we burn it all away,
Or we leave you irradiated.
Suck it dry and lay to waste,
[VERSE 1: The E]
I'm just sittin in the crib thinkin 'bout the pay-off
My nigga called and he just got laid off
Now he wants another j-o-b
Where you make a 1000 a day and Uncle Sam don't see a penny, gee
He spent 21 months in the county
And on his head there's a muthafuckin bounty
Now he wants to be slick
Wants to pimp, sell dope and have bitches on his dick
Well, that's cool cause I'm that type
See I'm livin by the trigger, I'm a nigga but I'm game tight
Took him with my boys on a roll, gee
To see the corners that I run and the cops that work for me
A new nigga wanna jack
So I'm headin for his house to fuck him off and take my money back
Don't try to play me like a sucker
My name's E, muthafucka, not Tommy Tucker
Hah, then I roll around the block
Just to check on an old spot to see if it's still hot
A cop hits the block with his flashes
Just to scare a muthafucka and count how many dashes
Them niggas lookin at me sick, son
They wonder why a nigga didn't run
He's on my payroll
Me and my boys started laughin
At them niggas haulin ass and one looked like Action
Hoes lookin at me crazy
Knowin goddamn well a trick bitch can't fade me
Now my boy's lookin down and out
I wonder what the nigga's thinkin 'bout
He wants power, now he's rollin with another cat
A dope dealer turned smoker workin robbin where they sellin wax
Now he's all about the gank trade
The nigga's robbin and stealin, he's sayin fuck it cause he's gettin paid
Then he started thinkin bigger
Plannin on my downfall, but I figured he's a jealous nigga
Go ahead with your plot, son
And get shot in your muthafuckin face with a shotgun
Easy come easy go, another duck
He was a friend but not no kin, I don't give a fuck
Trick niggas I devour
And the course of his downfall, he wanted power
[VERSE 2: The E]
Rollin with my boys on a late night
Feelin kinda sick from this bitch that couldn't cook right
Stopped and got a forty so I can cool the head
Heard a couple of shots to my left, the nigga's dead
So I'm sayin damn, them niggas got me fucked up
Made it to my truck, so I guess they're outta luck, Chuck
Fired a couple of shots, then somebody shot back
So I guess it's on, so I started bustin ass, black
Cappin muthafuckas left to right, niggas dyin
At the bus stop was this old bitch cryin
Shot her in the throat cause the bitch tried to key me
Shoulda had her muthafuckin ass watchin TV
Jumped in my ride, down the block I started speedin
Left in my trail was a bunch of punks bleedin
Headed for the house where we meet when it's trouble
Beeped all my boys so they'd get there on the double
Now I'm thinkin Boss so I guess we're havin big fun
Now I'm talkin tall cause I think I got a big gun
While I'm layin out the plan I hear sirens
There used to be a grin on my face, now I ain't smilin
A nigga's got a rep that he gotta keep
So full steam ahead with the plan, gee
As fast as they shoot we'll shoot back
And we'll see how many cops we can take, black
See, it's all about survival of the strong
It doesn't matter if you're right or in the fuckin wrong
If you wanna be the man on the tower
Where you can get good weed good drank, or even get put to rest
Down here we rep the Screwed Up Click, or rep the Swishahouse
And we don't play games we gon take aim, or punch you in your mouth
On a paper chase for that big bread, H.P.D. act like dick heads
Cause they wanna know what we're smoking, and how much coedine in our big red
And we stay draped in VVS diamonds, VS1's
And we don't tolerate jackers, we take jackers to Vietnam
Sunday night is well connected, with Big Steve and Captain Jack
Tuesday night we at the rocks, with ten cars deep and all them Lacs
Jumping stacks dump a gat, steel jabs and quarterbacks
Yeah we rapping but it ain't just rap, money we need all of that
Bulgari glasses on my face, hand cannon on my waist
Candy blue paint on my ride, Trouble in the front in the back is Grace
Joseph McVey that's my name, and I taste diamonds in my mouth
Fuck a nigga named Lloyd Banks, it's going down in the South
[Hook:]
Pistol packers and jackers, and bad ass bitches on the track
Everybody you come across, trying to stack stacks
It's going down in the South, (going down in the South)
It's going down in the South, (going down in the South)
We got diamonds in our mouth, around our arms and round our necks
Six or seven days, and we ain't been to sleep yet
It's going down in the South, (going down in the South)
It's going down in the South, (going down in the South)
[Big Boss:]
It all started with a tour of the B.C., to a half of the O.G.
Some dudes still fish swear, in a spot that's low key
You niggaz don't know me, you so baloni
You play in the pig pen, I hang where the folks be
We don't talk to police, leave that to you fonies
Disguised as homies, to get me felonies
I forever be lonely, just me and my coedine
My tech has no beam, my aim is so clean
Been at it since 14, you can't control me
So quit the baloni, 'fore I go where your folks sleep
Hit your block and it's on G, the strap sits cozy
It claps but don't speak, leave flats no slowly
So don't provoke me, I was raised in the struggle
Good kush and kool-aid, so they stay in a huddle
If you call me on the blank runs, the next time it's double
Fuck stunting but if you want, Boss'll teach you how to hustle
[Hook]
[Z-Ro:]
Some of my partnas ride blue, some of my partnas ride red
And just like I got partnas that's free, I got partnas in the FED
I got partnas in the state, for killing niggaz or moving weight
I even got niggaz in the Army, in Baghdad and Kuwait
Every block you pass in H-Town, you gon see a candy ride
Whoever driving it gon keep a weapon handy, right by his side
Down here jackers don't hide, they be out all in the open
Therefo' when I'm in floss mode, I might shoot anybody that's approaching
Hit a nigga be it a bitch, cause I ain't ready to dig my ditch
Any given time I look like new money, to somebody that wanna get rich
Laws harassing as they pass, protect and serve they never do that
Instead of love they pull out a billy club, and beat us till we blue black
So fuck the laws except Officer Tony, cause he real
Behind the badge he a Mo City nigga for life, and that's why we chill
Rest in Peace Big H.A.W.K., I think about you all day all night
I'll see you again one day, whenever I crap out rolling the dice of life
I was going through life
I was carrying a heavy load
Even though I wore a smile like a clown
My burdens were to oheavey for me to hold
But now Imade up my mind
I ain't walking looking down at the floor
Stand up and put my chin in the air
cause I gota let hte whole world know
God gave me (Power!)
That makes me feel the way I do (Power!)
Listen you can feel the same way too (Power!)
When I couldn't make it God showed me how (Power!)
Point to yourself and say I'm alright now
I'm reminded of the day
When I thought I would loose my mind
My head was spinning like a merry-go-round
Felt like I was running out of time
Now I made up my mind ain't walking looking down at the floor
Stand up, put my chin in the air
cause I gotta let the whole world know
For those who feel like giving in
And the enemy is defeating you
I've got good news from glory
Jesus gave you that same power too!
You can make it, you can make it
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
In a room full of circles and squares
I sit and wonder
Does anybody dare to be different?
I think if I were you and you were me
You'd see that we're the same
It's all a game, ain't nothing changed
We're the same in the sense that we need to be
L O V E D
Hypothetically, love starts when you respect yourself
So tell me what you see when you see you
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
There's a man on the corner of nowhere and 5th
I wonder how he ended up like this
Without a dime to his name, it's a shame
Mmm, mmm, mmm
He took a chance with the wrong friends
Got caught up to no good in the neighborhood
Where it's hard to survive, staying alive
It's a full time job
Living larger than the next guy
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
Little girl with hopes and big dreams
Don't get swayed by those sex fiends
I understand that you want a man
But a real man will help you stand
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We're all in this together
UBU and I'll be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
We should be working together

God has got all power
In His mighty hands
He´s the great I Am
Awesome in His greatness
He´s so wonderful
He´s the God of all miracles

Sometimes a smile can deceive
The one who has made you promise
Suddenly you can't believe
The truth only leaves you cold
Sometimes the answers you fear
Are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear
But no one is even listening
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To back up the things you say
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To cut through the chains breakaway
Fortune can wear a disguise
Pride is a grand illusion
And when it's your name up in lights
Fate proves this one conclusion
Sometimes the answers you fear
Are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear
The truth only leaves you cold
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To back up the things you say
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To cut through the chains breakaway
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To fight back and not be afraid
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To cut through the chains breakaway
All that you see someday will be
Lost in the shadows of time
Mountains must fall someday this all
Will be darkness where light used to shine
Sometimes a smile can deceive
The one who has made you promise
Suddenly you can't believe
That no one is even listening
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To back up the things you say
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To cut through the chains breakaway
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To fight back and not be afraid
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
To cut through the chains breakaway
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
Power, it takes power, power, it takes power
Last years rivals share their blood
Sailor sworn to secrecy
Ride the waves and stem the flood
The tides of endless enmity
Power now is all the rage
Sons and daughters of the gun
Hungry babies come of age
Phasers switched and set to stun
Power now, power how, power wow !
Here's power
If you're seeking power
Doctor held you tight and torn
Boy he was a lucky man
Out of you the future born
Slight of foot and sight of hand
Douse the candle, dim the light
Focus not on fire or flame
Don't believe that might is right
Your soul can turn you just the same
Power now, power how, power wow !
If you're seeking power - here's power
Power now, power how, power wow !
If you're seeking power - here's power
If you take my breath away
The whole damn thing will turn and return
Redefined, rearranged, rearranged
And till my dying the day
I guess I'll have to burn just to learn
This the time, this the place
To show a human face
Dressed to kill we guessed you might
Friend or foe or family
We'll sacrifice the Virgin white
Her death will be the life of me
Power now is all the rage
Don't excuse it use it well
Keep the lion in his cage
Free from hunger, free from hell
Power now, power how, power wow !
If you're seeking power - here's power
I'm livin' large as possible,posse unstoppable
Style topical,vividly optical
Listen,you'll see'em sometimes I'll be'em
Cops,critics and punks,necer ever wanta see me in POWER
Well,that's too bad,Apocalypse Now I'm back and I'm mad
We're comin',you're runnin' cold and cunning
Ice T on the mic,TopGunning
After your neck,checkin' respect,makin' you sweat
Rhyme Syndicate boy in effect
The rap motivator,teacher,talker,night rhyme stalker
Words thrillin',so real they're chillin',the hit author
Gettin' louder than a shot gun,you don't want none
RHYME PAYS was the name of the album
But that was number one,this is the number two
The posse grew,we're gonna break through
Power
Somebody line up the suckers who refuse to recognize the truth
Tie up the punks who refuse to understand the youth
My posse's growin' and it's gettin' larger every day
Detroit,Chi-Town,Pittsburgh,Houston,L.A.
Come on,come on,come on,toys,let's play
Circle the calendar,perpetrator doomsday
ICE T fool man of my own full grown
I cause havoc when I speak upon the microphone
I'm outspoken,no jokin',get in my face your jaw will get broken
Layin' it,sayin' it,then you're playing it
Lyrics so heavy that you might try weighin' it
Hated by many but I hate'em back
Loved by troopers who know where it's at
You might like me,might think I'm wack
But don't step to me 'cause the boy stays strapped
I'm taking no shorts,hatin' the courts,hatin' the judges
Punk DA's with their personal grudges
I hate the clubs that think with their butts
No hats,no jeans,no sneakers,no what?
No beepers,no gold? Yo kiss my ass
We'll wait and see who gets the last laugh
We'll have the power
Power
Power it starts with P like pussy
She knows she's got it,she doesn't worry,does she?
Spendin' your cash,leavin' you in the trash
While your little head's thinkin',they're gone in a dash
They got it,know it,that's why they show it
The power of sex,if man could overthrow it
He'd be king in a day,no way.We get rich,hard,give it away
We're weak and as we speak,the girls are hawkin'
Sizin' me up straight out as I'm talkin'
But you gotta have control if you want the gold
I don't wanta be alone like Stallone
So I keep my mind thinkin' 'bout the green
And stop dwellin' on the in-between
I got the power
Power
I'm on a mission mackin' hard as a hammer
Take my picture,I might take your camera
My posse might move,and they move fast
A fool's move could be a punk's last
Ain't no criminal although I used to be
Ain't no new jack rappin' ain't new to me
I been makin' records on wax since 1982
Now it's 1988 finally I'm coming through
That adds up to six years of makin' ok jams,but now I'm mad
Here comes the body slam
Turnin' out concerts,house'n the industry
Lovin' all the fly girls screamin' for ICE T
Rollin' with the Syndicate my unstoppable battalion
38 Solid gold my medalion
Gainin' velocity,momentum and energy
ICE Capital T
I got the power
Power
So you say that I'm a fake think,you really must be a fool
I been to jail more times than you have probably been in school
Shot at,shot back,hit,and seen my buddies killed
That's the foundation upon the raps of ICE-T are built
I say what I think,the system does stink
Money you walk,you short,you're writin' from the klink
Come on,what's up,you know the laws are full of bull
Prey on the lame,release those with pull
Power!I know you wanta try it
Well check out money can buy it
Control and mold the world to do your wishin'
The knowledge of power is mine,so just listen
Money controls the world and that's it
And once you got it,then you can talk shit
Power
You have the power
Power
You have the power

Say you wanna be a star, you wanna rock hard
So you wanna be fly like me
Say you wanna go far, don't like where you are
So you wanna have the victory
Don't look at my whip and look at my crib
And start thinkin' this life's easy
Had to walk by faith, had to struggle everyday
Just to get to the point you see
This life I'm livin' is a battlefield
And when it comes against me, I got my shield
Don't get it twisted, the enemy's real
And they don't wanna see us win
There's someone greater livin' within
That is fighting this battle for me
Can't worry about the enemy, Holy Ghost in me
Is givin' me one need and that's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
So you need a new car, gotta have a new job
You need to go down on your knees
You need to seek His face, take a break from the race
Make Him the priority
Don't look at the way that the Lord has blessed me
And start thinkin' that I gotta fall free
Had to walk by faith, had to struggle everyday
Just to get to the point you see
This life I'm livin' is a battlefield
And when it comes against me, I got my shield
Don't get it twisted, the enemy's real
And they don't wanna see us win
There's someone greater livin' within
That is fighting this battle for me
Can't worry about the enemy, Holy Ghost in me
Is givin' me one need and that's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Holy Ghost movin' all up and down your spine
Working miracles, givin' sight to the blind
Can't you feel the glory, I feel it all on me
I gonna make the winning shout like Kobe
Hands up in the air, everywhere
Can't you feel this presence in the atmosphere
And if you're not ashamed, if you're not a coward
Stand up if you got that power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power

Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Stand up if you've got that Holy Ghost's power
Last years rivals share their blood
Sailor sworn to secrecy
Ride the waves and stem the flood
The tides of endless enmity
Power now is all the rage
Sons and daughters of the gun
Hungry babies come of age
Phasers switched and set to stun
Power now, power how, power wow !
Here's power
If you're seeking power .........
Doctor held you tight and torn
Boy he was a lucky man
Out of you the future born
Slight of foot and sight of hand
Douse the candle, dim the light
Focus not on fire or flame
Don't believe that might is right
Your soul can turn you just the same
Power now, power how, power wow !
If you're seeking power - here's power
Power now, power how, power wow !
If you're seeking power - here's power
If you take my breath away
The whole damn thing will turn and return
Redefined, rearranged, rearranged
And till my dying the day
I guess I'll have to burn just to learn
This the time, this the place
To show a human face
Dressed to kill we guessed you might
Friend or foe or family
We'll sacrifice the Virgin white
Her death will be the life of me
Power now is all the rage
Don't excuse it use it well
Keep the lion in his cage
Free from hunger, free from hell
Power now, power how, power wow !
Power...
power feeds you long,
loving hours
I can give everlasting power
Flower...
the world opens
you need simple flower
A feeling, a feeling all so sour
Drain me, now drain me
from power
Drain me, now drain me
from power.
Oh, the wide open stench of all - so sour.
I can't give, but I recieve for hours
oh...
Drain me, now drain me
from power
Drain me, now drain me
from power.
Drain it - static from the attic,
attic walls...
Oh...
Drain me, now drain me
from power
Drain me, now drain me
from power.
Drain it - static from the attic,
attic walls...
A power, so somatic
See the heart is burning -
I call it static
(attic walls...)
I need static
so charismatic
You're so tragic -
my love's so manic
(attic walls...)
I have the power
use it, frantic
your body's turned -
I'm systematic
(attic walls...)
See my touch,
Those who cower
drain me of
my breathing hours
In search for power no answer you will find when
searching in darkness, feeling around blind.
Demon powers willing to let you think you rule till
that fatal day when they will rule you.
Strength of steel is fleeting no power in that scene.
Humanity is weak why don't you just believe,
for none can stand the power of Almighty God,
He will stand before you rule with iron rod.
Upholds the universe by his word of power,
All will face his glory, the unrighteous they will
cower.
Stand before Him naked and stripped of all your pride.
Ashamed of your wrong doing and who'll be by your side.
POWER in Almighty God
POWER in eternal life
POWER in the Word of God
POWER in the blood of Christ (2x)
(Repeat Chorus)
In search for power no answer you will find.
When searching in darkness, feeling around blind.
Demon powers willing to let you think you rule,
till that fatal day when they will rule you.
Life is but a vapor a speck of dust in time.
When this life is over where's your power now.
The Lord who's Lord of All is not willing any perish.
There's power in the blood to wash and make your
righteous.
POWER in Almighty God
POWER in eternal life
POWER in the Word of God
It's a system for the people but we have no say
It's a system where the people just get pushed away
For a profit, they gentrify our land
And the police enforce their will with an iron hand
We were born into the system -- we had no choice
But we can stand as one people -- with one loud voice
They exploit our labor -- For their own greed
We've got to fight them back -- For the things we need
More people have died of AIDS than in the Vietnam War
By the time they fund research it'll be ten times more
They spend ten billion on a bomber that doesn't fly
While the homeless and the poor just starve and die
Their power comes from us -- We take it away
We can't afford to wait -- It's got to be today
The power is within us -- We can do as we please
Far better that we die on our feet
Than we live on our knees
Every generation had their chance and now it's our turn
We've seen their mistakes and I hope we've learned
We've got to make a better world at any cost
Power to the people, freedom of our rights
Power to the people, it's a never ending fight
We'll all stand together, we never want a war
We'll all stand together, Time is getting short
What aren't we going to do, keep on running fast
What aren't we going to do, throw their sword back
Put your hands together, we need you on and off
Put your hands together, ??? applause
Stand up strong and mighty, our strength is not a few
Come and join the police man, it's only good for you
??? thinks he knows what he's doing
??? doesn't know nothing
??? something to ???
Bring us to the lochs and feed us to the fish
Our lives ain't worth ???
At least we know we're getting in
??? high
Privileged ones have a possibility
To oppress and to dominate
Entitled ones have an opportunity
Exploit
Being in charge creates an illusion
Of superiority
Promoted have a delusion
Of right to distress the weak
Intoxicate!
Deteriorate!
Power is sex
Domination is lust
It makes them think
That they're better than us
Power is sex
Domination is lust
It makes them think
That they're better than us,
Power
by Peter, Paul & Mary
performed by Crosby & Nash
from the Bread & Roses Festival
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away.
Everybody needs some power I'm told
To shield them from the darkness and the cold
Some may see a way to take control when it's bought and sold.
I know that lives are at stake
Yours and mine and our descendants in time.
There's so much to gain, so much to lose
Everyone of us has to choose.
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away.
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away.
Won't you do this for me?
Take all of your atomic poison power
Take all of your atomic poison power
Take all of your atomic poison power
Away.
Note: The original has a second stanza which Crosby & Nash omitted in concert. It appears below.
We are only now beginning to see
How delicate the balance of nature can be
The limits of her ways have been defined
and we've crossed that line.
Some don't even care or know that we'll pay
But we have seen the face of death in our day.
There's so little time to change our ways
UNDER A STONE
SKIN & BONE
THE CHILDREN OF FEAR ARE NOT ALONE
RIVERS OF TEARS
FLESH & BLOOD
AN EYE FOR AN EYE
THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT
POWER & TRUTH
DESIRE & TRUST
LIKE THE WIND AND THE RAIN
ASHES AND DUST
TIME WILL BE ENDING
LIFE'S A CRUSADE
FOR A CONSCIOUSNESS RISING
OUT OF DESPERATE STATE
INTO LIGHT AND THE FUTURE
EDUCATION IS WORK
INTO VIOLENT PEACE
THAT WILL CONQUER THE WORLD
WE GOT THE POWER
EXCESSIVE FORCE
She's the kind of lady that always calls the shots
She makes you well aware of all the things that you ain't got
Super-fiscal beauty knowing she's all that
She wears our your Mastercard and wears on all your hats
Just like a vision in the dead of night
that you can grope but never hold
She'll flash you glimpses of her inner light
You'll never see into her soul
She'll never give you that power
You think you're in control, but I know she'll never yield
Acts like the home team girl
doing each position when she plays the field
You ain't getting on first base, but you're working on stealing home
She's got you in the hot box
Check one 2 check one 6 get up on the mic and eat some weatabix, weatabix,
say weatabix and mayonase. iM A FREE FLOW GANGSTER YOU DONT WANT NONE OF MY

Whussup? This Lil Italy here with Ghetto Commision yeah and that's power

Choppers bullets and bus once back respect's ours
First came the money from the royalty

Holla at me I'm with the power living the street dream

Control, don?t you think you?ve got control?
On these streets, you hold your own
Kind of like an island, all alone
But what happens when it all goes wrong?
You realize you?re not so strong
Now all that strength you had is gone
Now you say you need some help
You can?t do this by yourself
Ready to put your trust in somebody else
Well, have you ever felt the power?
Awesome, mighty, strong tower
Every knee must bow before Him
And declare, "He?s got the power"
Ever since you were a little girl
Always been daddy?s little girl
He said that he?ll give you the world
But now you?re grown and daddy?s gone
Feels like he left you all alone
Guess now it?s time for you to see
There?s someone bigger than daddy
Now you say you need some help
You can?t do this by yourself
Are you ready to put your trust in somebody else?
Well, have you ever felt the power?
Awesome, mighty, strong tower
Every knee must bow before Him
And declare, "He?s got the power"
The say the government has got it all
They said the Twin Towers would never fall
They built the levees so it would never break
My God has got the power anyway
Have you ever felt the power?
Awesome, mighty, strong tower
Every knee must bow before Him
And declare, "He?s got the power"
Have you ever felt the power?
Awesome, mighty, strong tower
Every knee must bow before Him
And declare, "He?s got the power"
Have you ever felt the power?
Awesome, mighty, strong tower
Every knee must bow before Him
Can you imagine someone being true
Turn 'round and put himself in front of you
Sometimes it's fun but then you never know
How far a thing like this might go
All my life I've waited for a chance to get right out of here
And when I had it in my hands I could not let it go
We've got the power, we are divine
We have the guts to follow the sign
Extracting tensions from sources unknown
We are the ones to cover the throne
Try if you can to come where we have gone
You may achieve what can't be simply done
Look back and there you are where we have been
And still there's so much in between
All those years I've traveled 'round this world, now I am standing here
To make you sing these tunes and know they'll never let you go
We've got the power, we are divine
We have the guts to follow the sign
Extracting tensions from sources unknown
We are the ones to cover the throne
We've got the power, we are divine
We have the guts to follow the sign
Extracting tensions from sources unknown
We are the ones to cover the throne
Days you feel like giving up but you know you can win
And some days you feel like you wont make it till the end

The King was born in
Bethlehem and raised a Nazarene.
The Cornerstone begins His ministry
in Galilee.
Power from above.
Power to rule with love.
Prophet, teacher, savior.
Gods begotten Son.
He heals the sick
The blind to see, the
Christ has finally come.
Power, His story
Power, His glory
I'm not ashamed of the
Gospel of Christ
Power
This is the power that
brings us new life
Power, The mercy gate
Sail on silver wings through this storm
What fortune love may bring
Back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age
I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
For, now that wheels are turning
I find my faith deserting me
This night is filled with cries
Of dispossessed children in search of paradise
A sign of unresolved that envisioned
Drives the pinwheel on and on
I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
When memory bears witness
To the innocence, consumed in dying rage
The way lies through our love
There can be no other means to the end
Or keys to my heart
You will never find
I used to be a flower on the wall in the back row
Never was a homecoming queen just a shadow
Now I got a crown ‘cause you gave it to me
Cleopatra strong, yeah you found it in me
Throwing all the pages of the past out the window
When you tell me that I’m beautiful, I feel it, I breathe it, believe it
Got me feeling indestructable, I love it, I scream it
With you, I’m a queen upon my throne
With you, I build a kingdom out of stone
You fill me up, you fill me up
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
It’s so electric, baby, what you do to me
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
You tell me that you love me in the fog on the mirror
You like me with no makeup on so you can see me clearer
Now I got a crown ‘cause you gave it to me
Cleopatra strong, yeah you found it in me
Everything I ever dreamed about, got it right here
With you, I’m a queen upon my throne
With you, built a kingdom out of stone
You fill me up, you fill me up
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
It’s so electric, baby, what you do to me
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
When you tell me that I’m beautiful, I feel it, I breathe it, believe it
Got me feeling indestructable, I love it, I scream it
I love it, I scream it
With you, I’m a queen upon my throne
With you, built a kingdom out of stone
You fill me up, you fill me up
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
It’s so electric, baby, what you do to me
I’ve got that power, power, power with you here
Chorus:
He got power man/You ain't never seen it like this
He got power man/His words make the world exist
He got power man/He can turn your situation ‘round
I've seen Him do it/do it/do it/do it/do it
Verse 1:
I've seen the Lord do a lot of things in my day
Time after time/He blows my mind and He blows my faith
I like to read/And see what He's done in the past
He can do in the present/If His people would ask
I've seen Him shut a whole strip down
Full of strip clubs/Now the dude's a Christian now
Wow/Now that's power like you've never seen
How He dug in the man/And made his soul clean
Oh/I've even seen Him heal a broken home
Couple couldn't get along/Now you be like/Get a room
Man/I'm so impressed with His slate
I want to trust Him more and more/And strengthen my faith
Yes/I hope you know it's true/All power's in God's hands
What can't you make it through/The proof is the Godman
Nobody took His life/But Jesus He laid it down
And three days later/Yes, He popped outta the ground
Chorus:
He got power man/You ain't never seen it like this
He got power man/His words make the world exist
He got power man/He can turn your situation ‘round
I've seen Him do it/do it/do it/do it/do it
Verse 2:
Now for the record/We're talking about Almighty God
Please don't forget/What He did with Moses' rod
Please don't forget/When He split the Red Sea
What is a light bill/Or a deadly disease
What is a marriage problem/Or one that's on the rocks
To the One who speaks to storms/And storms stop
To the One who got Lazarus outta the grave/Not after one, but two, three, four days
He is the Life/And the Resurrection
You give Him your filth/And get His perfection
I'm trying to get you to see/If He can save a soul
Defeat Satan and sin/All else is micro
And if He chooses to not grant a request
It's not because He lacks power/But He's seeking our best
It's not because He lacks strength/But He's seeking our good
Now go and walk through that trial/Like Jesus would
Chorus:
He got power man/You ain't never seen it like this
He got power man/His words make the world exist
He got power man/He can turn your situation ‘round
I've seen Him do it/do it/do it/do it/do it
Verse 3:
I know some people in my hood/That's been struggling with some things
They've been addicted for so long/They don't think that they can change
Then I tell them about Jesus/And how He can set them free
But they choose to stay away/Man now that's just unbelief
But He's worthy to be trusted/He's a keeper of His word
But it's either you don't believe in Jesus/Or that's just scared
Now what your scared of/You shouldn't be scared of your sin
And not trusting in His name/That's the danger you're in
But you ain't gotta stay that way/You can pray and confess
Live a/Life of repentance/Receive Jesus' best
Himself/His love/His grace/His power
Give you strength in the darkest hour/So you won't be devoured
Give you strength against temptation/Because He's stronger than sin
He's much stronger/Than your corruption/Erupting within
He's much strong/Than your addiction to sex or a drug
To alcohol/Or a club
Homie/That's what He does
Chorus:
He got power man/You ain't never seen it like this
He got power man/His words make the world exist
He got power man/He can turn your situation ‘round
Chorus:
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away.
Everybody needs some power I'm told
To shield them from the darkness and the cold
Some may see a way to take control when it's bought and sold.
I know that lives are at stake
Yours and mine and our descendants in time.
There's so much to gain, so much to lose
Everyone of us has to choose.
(chorus)
We are only now beginning to see
How delicate the balance of nature can be
The limits of her ways have been defined
And we've crossed that line.
Some don't even care or know that we'll pay
But we have seen the face of death in our day.
There's so little time to change our ways
If only we together can say
(chorus)
All of your atomic poison power
All of your atomic poison power
I got the power, power, power
Power to the people
We the people got the power, let's ride
I got the power, power, power
Power to the people
We the people got the power, let's ride
I got the power, power, power
Power to the people
We the people got the power, let's ride
I got the power, power, power
Power to the people
We the people got the power, let's ride
A nigga be humble, but I'm down for mine
Don't give me no static and you and I can be fine
I may be quiet
Believe me I get violent
You ready for war?
Then grab your shit and come up
It's already jumpin' so we can just join in the start buckin'
Fuck the police now let that be the reason
You meet the heater 9-milli cease the breathin'
The glock shot the cop body rott
Fuck 'em, grab this shotgun and cuff 'em
And dump his shit in the river and let it splash
Do the shit smooth boy, don't ever slip ,move
But don't nobody know, but I know that nigga fish food
So if you ready for the po po to die
Then put one hand in the air, the other hand on your nine
And say, "Yeah, yeah"
Get you pump, pump, pump, pump, pump
Now let me hear you say, "Yeah, hell yeah"
Get your pump, pump, pump, pump, pump
God is so passionate and hear the cries of the needy
(Needy)
Devil is greedy
(Greedy)
The get ya high

Power to the people that wanted to beat you and mistreat you
And at the same time have a smile when they greet you
(Greet ya)
Could never be equal we are revelation angels
(Angels)
Change, 'cause no matter how hard you try you can't erase us or replace us
(Erase us or replace us)
Keep your eyes posted high to the sky, it's your life
The fragile prize for movin' the black lives
I'll rise and fall because of God, the tune is playin'
Black women and black men it's not to late late to repent you sins
(Sins)
You better stop, duck down
(Down, down)
(Pay attention, listen)
What's that sound?
AK-47 nigga so you better hit the ground
You better, you better stop, duck down, down, down
(Pay attention, listen)
AK-47 nigga so you better hit the ground
I think, I got the power that can take over the world, you see?
Look, I'm tryin' to live forever with this destiny
Man, I'm tryin' to start some shit
A nigga deep into this army shit
And if you feel it, you can march with this
We got a million thugs, strong stompin'
I'm ready to pump, pump, pump. pump
And dump the enemies in the trunk, fuck 'em
Hey, I heard they got plan to try to kill us all
Niggas get the mark of the beast, disturbin' the peace
But at least we know they doin' dirty
I'ma keep a thirty-thirty close so don't worry
We get with the static in a hurry
I go the power, power, power
Power to the people

[Raekwon]
Take it off, sho' 'nough kid
Take it off
We gon' take it from the East to the West
to the North to the South
Show y'all what it's about
Don't make me throw no gun in your mouth
You know?
How long is your CREAM? This long?
Eh yo, his belt got karats in it
Swift description, E-320 nigga pitchin
Rock a raw dinosaur chain, hang to his thing
It's like, he pump isolated, still cashin in CREAM
Niggas in the hood hate him, drew a vase of him
Blaze 'em, he actin like Shallah raisin him
This is hydrogen, son ain't live as him
He like Maguyver, chin 4 spies with him
Roll relentless, desert that he hold is a gift wish
Shash the list, give his miss dick
Technique, operation: tech scream
Bet CREAM, them alligators jet like a vet swing
Nigga like Nicolas Cage with the gauge in your braids
2 cannons that'll spray, rockin banana suede
Suck this drunk alcohol dick
Fuck y'all niggas with hits
We bout to shit on y'all shit
[Triflyn]
Y'all brothas wanna call us out?
Name names, otherwise it'd be the best to shut the fuck up
Get pimp-smacked up, jacked up and macked up
You're scared and froze of bein exposed
I own Harlem, I bone Harlem, call me the mayor
It's my borough, you don't want no problems
I'm on now, you dead pop, all jokes aside
I ride the top, you glide the bottom
Pitfall, 5 foot 9, my dick, balls
Shit y'all, leave flat line to stick your's
We flip off basic and brace it
8 kills, 47 ways to taste it
Never understand what you never been told
You did your book bitin off of my scrolls
We hit man, Colombo, coats and hats to match
Bust off quick, and then, guns go back
[Superb]
I move like Arthur Ash against God
4 raquets, 8 balls and no practice
Every cypher's a heated discussion
The industry was like a beat that needed precussion
I brun the music, shit that make crews flip
State that I'm the illest, this is Q.U. shit
I used to heat-hole, now I'm takin over like the repo'
Bitches that roll, Cee-Lo that'll sniff a kilo'
We went from Frank's and greens to shanks and beans
Now we drive our Navigators to banks in Queen's
Y'all can't fuck around, your words ain't right
Every time I touch the mic, they say ";Perb ain't right";
But that's the truth though, d'oh, infact that's it
When they drop this shit, I'm gon' cop that shit
The new star, you want me? I'm at the juice bar
Y'all once hap' niggas, give me 2 stars
[Chip Banks]
I heard what y'all rappin about, but bring your stash out
You shouldn't throw rocks if you livin in glass house
Sneak your weak shit at us, on the low though
Where these cats come from, speakin about po'
He got cash to cop and I'm crashin {*car crashing*}
But half of y'all cats just catchin up to Rae' last year
Got guns in the jungle, call 'em Jurassic
The chrome, the steel, the 20-shot plastic
While y'all niggas cop jars, me and my niggas cop bars
Gettin head from rock stars
We blowin everything apart, I'm smashin the charts
How I see it? (Yo, how you see it?)
Chorus: Raekwon
Eh yo, what you wanna be when you grow up?
Yo, I wanna be a leader
Slow your speed up and stop tryin to be us
Say somethin always, got a future? Stay out the hallways
And get yourself right, a 100 more ways
[Rhyme Recca]
Fly like iceberg, nice with verbs, precise words
Bently swerve, hit the curb, jump out, cock back, spit out
Shut your block down, get out, criminal route
Gangsta shit, can't talk now, gun in your mouth
Cream Team killas, cacoon cats like caterpillars
Giant size gorillas, break niggas backs from the skrilla
Scratch, greenback track, Fed's berserk
That's my word, disrespect Recca, get what you deserve
Inferno, melt down mic's, millionaire in my afterlife
Broke bread with Christ on the last night
Apocalypse, sleep with 4-5th, 2 clips
Passport, cellphone with the removable micro-chip
Specialist, 40-karat Sicillian necklace
Matching bracelet, Cream Team crisp the basic
Power, Power, Power, Power
Power, Power, Power, Power
He arrives and they're waitin'
cause they've been anticipatin'
as the man takes the spot
and the crowd is gettin' hot
and the group searches in
as the records start to spin
he can make them shift their gears
with a poundin' in the ears, he's got
Power, Power, Power, Power
Power, Power, Power, Power
Start to movin' with the rhythm
now he's got two people with him
and the force filled with fire
as the crowd is gettin' higher
he gives them rhythm, gives them moves
gets them movin' in their shoes
get's them rockin', gets them reelin'
gets them dancin' to the ceilin'
he's got it, oh baby, he's got it
he's got it, oh baby, now he's got it
he's got it, oh baby, now he's got it
he's got it, oh baby, now he's got it
ooh-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
ooh-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Power, Power, Power, Power
Power, Power, Power, Power
and they move in out direction
as we're watching their reflection
he takes your body, takes your soul
he can make you lose control
he's a devil, he's a demon
he can set your body screamin'
he's a god, he's a spirit
it's so wonderful to hear it
he's got it, oh baby, he's got it
he's got it, oh baby, now he's got it
he's got it, oh baby, now he's got it
he's got it, oh baby, now he's got it
ooh-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
ooh-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
You carry me around
Like loose change jingle-jangling
At the bottom of your bag
You don't seem to feel it though
As you swing down the street
Walking that unique birthday-candle glow
In broad daylight
In broad daylight
And you don't even know
The way I love you
You never knew power, did you?
You thought that power was in a strong arm
People pass the laws and gold
Tsunamis and mushroom clouds
Oh babe that's nothing
You think it's kinda sweet
The stammer and the tremble in my voice
But don’t mistake it for weakness
Or some kind of incompleteness
'Cause round about now
I can feel it tingle-tangling
It's coiled up inside me
And it’s ready to blow
You never knew power, did you?
Thought it fizzed in the overhead lines
Burning steel and bone to carbon
Saturn 5 in vertical climb
You never knew power, did you?
Thought it roared like Niagra Falls
Or melted stone under volcanoes
Earthquake thunder lightning storms
The way I love you
Is something you don't understand
The way I love you
Took more than I could imagine, even now
You never knew power
All the time you felt so strong
But now you can't function
Awake or asleep
As the meaningless world falls away from your feet
And the Universe ceases it's light-speed retreat
Life was sweet in the meteor shower
Of the star-high divine
When you sparkled and fell
From heaven to hell
And ten years grinding by in every hour
In every hour
I know all about power
Listen to the rain
You might feel a tremble
Woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed
I didn?t know
Where I was to go
But I knew
What I had to do
Was just do it
First thing
You got to leave
Pack up yourself
And leave
Second thing
You should have know
Everything you do
Comes back home
I'm tired of your ways
Tired of your lies
Tired of your jealousy
And tired of being tired
Tired of being alone
Singing that same song
And starting today
I?m gonna change my ways
What we need
What we need is some POWER
POWER
POWER
Another thing
Nothing you say to me
Is gonna change the way I see
One more thing be sure to close the door
Cause truthfully
I don?t love you anymore
I'm tired of your ways
Tired of your lies
Tired of your jealousy
And tired of being tired
Tired of being alone
Singing that same song
And starting today
I?m gonna change my ways
What we need
What we need is some POWER
POWER
POWER
Power in the heart
Power in the mind
Power of everything
I need a little bit of Power
Get a little bit of Power
"POWER"
Give me the warm power of the Sun
Give me the steady flow of the waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things
As they return (to play?)
Give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of the wood fire
But please - take all your atomic - poison power away
Every body needs some (port of call?)
To shield them from the darkness and the cold
Some place to go, where to take our toll,
With its heart and soul.
I know that lives are at stake
Yours and mine, and our descendants in time
There's so much to gain, so much to lose
I say, every one has to chose
Repeat first two verses
John Howard:
I was an angel in the beginning
I thought of playing but not of winning
So frail and weak, so meek and mild,
I was the world's most agreeable child
I had my share of schoolyard beatings
I made my fair and frightened bleatings
But I began to understand
What they held in their bullying hands...
I want power! I want power!
I want to smell my own ambition in flower!
I want a sense of domination and control!
I want to bat! I want to bowl!
I want power! I want power!
The kind where servant girls bring tributes by the hour!
And I won't rest until I rule the school!
Then I'll be hip, then I'll be cool.
Band:
You'll be empowered, John Winston Howard
Howard:
Not a single soul alive to call me coward!
Band:
You'll be the big, big cheese
Howard:
I won't say sorry! I won't say please!
Band:
You'll be empowered, John Winston Howard
Howard:
They'll pay for every time I scraped and bowed and cowered
I'll do what must be done
To make John Howard number one!
Band:
Number one!
Howard:
At university, I took my hisses
My slings and brickbats, my hits and misses
But ev'ry moment mocked and cursed
Increased my hunger, increased my thirst
And so the party fed my ambition
They let me lead the Opposition
They let me lead then tore me down
But that won't happen this time around...
I want power! I want power!
Not just to sit in Opposition and glower!
I want to turn this mother loose!
Show me the money! Give me the juice!
I want power! I want power!
I'll give Australia a gorgeous golden shower!
And I won't rest until I rule!
Then I'll be cruel, then I'll be cool.
Band:
You'll be empowered, John Winston Howard
Howard:
I'll show that Keating joker how his grapes have soured!
Band:
You'll be the man in charge
Howard:
I'll go ballistic! I'm livin' large!
Band:
You'll be empowered, John Winston Howard
Howard:
With a biography by Pru and David Goward
And when it comes to be,
I'll make the bastards bow to me!
And when it comes to be...
No mountains ever moved one inch at my command
No waters parted at my feet
I?m just a witness to the wonders God can do
Through willing instruments like me
And when my best seems insignificant and frail
He offers me the source of strength that cannot fail
Power, straight from the Father
Making me stronger
And I know it?s not my own
Power, straight from the Father
Love like no other, I?ve ever known
There are days when circumstances spin out of control
In ways I just can?t understand
It?s as if the best of my intentions have conspired
To reveal how powerless I am
But there is One whose voice alone
Brings me peace
And when on high, he hears my cry
He gives to me
This holy energy can save, redeem and heal
I’m livin’ in the 21st century
Doin’ something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
(21st century schizoid man)
The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open
We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, ma’f-cka, we rollin’
Huh? Ma’f-cka, we rollin’
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man’s world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin’
Huh? I see you in the mornin’
This is way too much, I need a moment
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, f-ck that, the World’s ours
And then they (Go)

F-ck SNL and the whole cast
Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass
More specifically, they can kiss my asshole
I’m an asshole? You n-ggas got jokes
You short-minded n-ggas’ thoughts is Napoleon
My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in
Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He know, he so, f-ckin’ gifted
I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind but couldn’t open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catchin’ up with me
Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece
N-gga, no one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, f-ck that, the World’s ours
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)
Colin Powells, Austin Powers
Lost in translation with a whole f-ckin’ nation
They say I was the obamanation (abomination) of Obama’s nation
Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of day, goddammit, I’m killin’ this sh-t
I know damn well y’all feelin’ this sh-t
I don’t need yo’ p-ssy, bitch, I’m on my own d-ck
I ain’t gotta power trip, who you goin’ home with?
How ‘Ye doin’? I’m survivin’
I was drinkin’ earlier, now I’m drivin’
Where the bad bitches, huh? Where ya hidin’?
I got the power, make yo’ life so excitin’ (So excitin’)
Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go
N-now-now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go
Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window

Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are snap
Don't need the police to try to save them
Your voice will sink so please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's got the power oh-oh-oh-oh

I wasn't expecting this
Falling in love this way
From out of the blue you stole my heart
With your arrow so straight and true
You took aim and you shot it through
Now every day I'm prayin' we'll never part
Bullseye, you hit me
Right between the eyes with your sweet love
Bullseye, you hit me
What a shot, I'll never get enough
Bullseye, you hit me
Wondrous things you do
Never met no one quite like you
You must Cupid in disguise
I never stood a chance
All it took was a simple glance
I was a goner when I looked into your eyes
I wasn't ready, you hit me
Bullseye, you hit me
Right between the eyes with your sweet love
Bullseye, you hit me
What a shot, I'll never get enough
Real love, a good love
Your sweet love
I was minding my own business
Just going about my day, huh
Never thinking in a million years, girl
True love would come my way
Then you came and took such a good shot
Girl, you really hit your mark
And once you took me in your arms
You stole my heart
Bullseye, you hit me
Right between the eyes with your sweet love
Bullseye, you hit me
What a shot, I'll never get enough
Real love, a good love
Baby
Bullseye, you hit me, baby
Right between the eyes with your sweet love
Bullseye, you hit me
And what a shot, I'll never get enough
Real love, a good love
No, no
power anti-social being human discharge a fascist regime we're fighting in
the streets trying to be free they say the regime will save us all it's
softly they push me in the water
im ringing my clothes out now
i drank the pail down of the water
i run the water from my clothes so clean
gently shut my eyes
gently shut my eyes
i filled the pail of the water
i cast the passwords in a perfect scene
and burn all my belongings
maybe two will complicate my life
oh this and more
right before my eyes
the pail in my mouth
my password was a home on fire
oh this and more
silently transpired
they push push push me in the water
they push push push me in a perfect scene
reciting passwords in a fog of perfume
reciting passwords in the ? of perfume tears
they're burning my belongings
they're deleting every word i write
a silky fog of tear gas
endlessly conspires
i i i never said no
because my password was a home on fire
this as the perfume teardrops
vanished from my eyes
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away
Everybody needs some power I'm told
To shield them from the darkness and the cold
Some may see a way to take control
When it's bought and sold
I know that lives are at stake
Yours and mine and our descendants in time
There's so much to gain, so much to lose
Everyone of us has to choose
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away
We are only now beginning to see
How delicate the balance of nature can be
The limits of her ways have been defined
And we've crossed that line
Some don't even care or know that we'll pay
But we have seen the face of death in our day
There's so little time to change our ways
If only we together can say
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power
All of your atomic poison power
Trapped inside their walls of power
Forced to serve upon our knees
Our Death gets nearer by the hour
the world subjected to their greed
I carry a signal from this powerful transmission
and I'll keep my mind focused on the mission
and a spiritual light has turned on in me
like I was plugged right into southern company
and don't try to regulate the frequency
you ain't the holy power company
Lets get our hearts and minds set to be his warriors
We need to focus on God the true transformer
(Chorus)
POWER
I know you're feeling the
POWER
You keep ignoring the
POWER
Tell me are you feeling the
POWER
There's an infrared light
Cast on my telescope
There's a radiant vibe
Shining from a black hole
Although light-years between
Through the tunnels we see
On our satellite screen
There's a future to free
Can you feel the power
Feel the power
Feel the power from the stratosphere
Can you feel the power
Feel the power
Feel the power in the late night hour
Can you feel the power from out of there
There's a chemical bond
To the planets of life
Four dimensions beyond
We make contact tonight
Can you feel the power
Feel the power
Feel the power from the stratosphere
Can you feel the power
Feel the power
Feel the power in the late night hour
Can you feel the power from out of there
Can you feel the power
Feel the power
Feel the power from the stratosphere
Can you feel the power
Feel the power
Feel the power from the stratosphere
Can you feel the power
Feel the power
Feel the power in the late night hour
Father (x8)
You are God, You are God.
Father (x10)
You are God, You are God.
You reign in power
Power
(x4)
You are God, You are God.
Father (Father)(x6)
You are God, You are God.
You reign in power (You reign in power)

Trust Him, trust Him
Trust Him completely, trust Him completely.
Serve Him, serve Him,
serve Him with gladness, serve Him with gladness.
Praise Him, Praise Him.
Praise Him forever, praise Him forever.
Power, power, You reign in power,
You reign in power
You reign in power
You reign in power
You reign in power
You reign in power, power.
Yeah, yeah.
There was a time when I could not find,
the Spirit of God beyond the mind.
In retrospect, the intellect is blind.
It makes me think that I'm
The reason for all that's mine
Even this rhyme I'm inclined to believe,
Is from me, instead of being received;
This is how we're deceived.
How am I more than dust,
when it's Your love that animates us?
Forever I will trust.
Your love is better than lust.
[Warwick]
I'm chained in by the arms of God
It seems to me I cannot move
I sold my car for some free and easy
But in my mind they're out to get me
No one makes me feel like you do
Satisfaction's my reaction
Some bitch told me that she was easy
Sweet sixteen she tried to please me
Give me love
Give me power
Give me love and power
And give me freedom
I'm a savage boy no one can tame me
I run down alleys reach out to grab me
In the sea of love we're all just fools
There is nothing I won't use
Give me love
Give me power
Give me love and power
And give me freedom
Don't hold me back and let me run away
Don't talk so much when you've nothing to say
Just come with me on a highway ride
We don't go that fast 'cos our hands are tied
Give me love
Give me power
Give me love and power
And give me freedom
[Intro - Pusha T]
Yeah, you think you got the power
You ain't got the power
You don't tell me that it's okay
I tell you that it's okay
You don't got the power
You don't have the power bitch, what
Yo, yo
[Verse 1 - Pusha T]
Everybody freeze, do what I say, do as I please
Commander every ship I steer, follow my lead
Y'all runnin' out of time, cause Terror runnin' out of speed
When I slow, blow up, guarantee makin' you bleed
This ain't about needs, it's all about greed
And showin' niggas who got the power drop to your knees
These bitches errand boys frontin' like they pushin' keys
When I catch 'em, bless 'em, start mumma-makin' they reeds
Because I won't stop firin', till I hear that siren
See your blood trickle, or hear your baby cryin'
Sick of niggas lyin', actin' like they tryin'
To be kamakazi, when they scared of dyin'
No alibi, I got the power no one will testify
Take this lead shower and the black flour where you left to die, ooh
Still life is so soothin', it hurts to see you movin'
So I counteract, take a step back and start shootin'
Terror hit a hollow-tooth frame, you and your dame
So when he wind blows, your bodies whistle likes cranes
Call me by celebrity name, I readily aim
And hit you in your chest, now your shirt redily stained
If there's one I didn't gun down, believe he'll be run down
Because I'm killin' every nigga from, sun up to sun down
Finish them, all adversaries diminishin'
And I'll flee the country before I plead guilty or innocent
[Chorus]
You don't have the power
You don't tell me it's okay, I tell you that it's okay
You don't have the power
power -- what holds it up
what makes it fly
that can't be done
power -- the boys got the right stuff
I see it in his eyes
he thinks it's fun
power -- now be a good little man
can you show me that again?
I bet you can't
power -- o.k. you win you can
but point it away
don't get the boy mad
oh we'll keep you
we'll be watching you
and we'll study you
and artie, oh we'll teach you
so you'll use it right
and you'll join the fight,
and artie, oh, we need you
when your country calls
and these hallowed halls are waiting
oh, this is straight from the top
we'll never stop
we can't be stopped
with your power
we need your power
power -- do you see these stones?
can you make them burn from miles away?
power -- no you can't go home
we know you'll learn to love this place
oh we'll keep you
we'll be watching you
and we'll study you
and artie, oh we'll teach you
so you'll use it right
and you'll join the fight,
and artie, oh, we need you
when your country calls
and these hallowed halls are waiting
oh, this is straight from the top
we'll never stop
we can't be stopped
with your power
A loss of power, a controlling mind
A broken home, what the fuck do you call home?
I control, criticize, judge, blame, questioneveryone
including me
But I will overcome this battle ends with me
IT'S POWER!!
This battle ends with me
IT'S POWER!!
My will is stronger, I will not break
Unlike you, I WANT A FUCKING HOME
I control, criticize, judge, blame, questioneveryone
including me
But I will overcome this battle ends with me
IT'S POWER (this battle ends with me) IT'SPOWER
Now you know how not to act (I've shoulderedyour

WHAT DO YOU CALL HOME?
ABANDON GOD ABANDON FAITH ABANDON US NOTHINGHAS CHANGED
For years I've lived under a false sense of hope
believing we were as one
Now I see the truth now I have a sense of what happened

YOU ARE A COWARD AND ALWAYS WILL BE!
I was oblivious to your actions, your faults are not

Jake:
Taken in a daze with a maze full of money
Over and out I win wheres the money
Can't really get into this race
I'm walking back against the traces of my heart falling down
I'm only human
I can't remember the words that I have to say to you
Because I'm getting older
And I can't hold on much longer
I just can't remember the words
My love is stronger than anyone elses
Just remember that I don't
Know...
But I got power
In my strength
In my veins
In my blood
Power
Even if it takes much longer
I'm strong
And I'm brave
Remember Who I am and who you are

[Intro: Timbo King w/ Heart ad-libbing in background]
Yeah, stab Tony Blair in his chest
Maccabee Ridaz (uh-huh)
Y'all wanna impress the poor?
M's up (uh-huh)
The girl looked somethin' like this... (yeah)
[Timbo King:]
From Babylon to Timbuktu we comin' for you
Haters and you play traitors, y'all the world's greatest
Liars on the face of the Earth, it's like facin' ya Old Earth
And tellin' the fam, "Have a seed not a kid"
Seperate the sheep from the goat
On the streets we wear sheepskin coats
Now it's weekend floats
How you want it, the revolver or the semi?
Huey P's spirit in me, I'm drinkin' Henny
We freedom fighters, you know freedom is a fighter
Him and Sonny Carson controllin' the cypher
At the rally, young God, eager to learn
Every corner that you turn, has evil concerned
So I use my imagination
Cause the best nation is a donation
[Interlude: Timbo King]
We thank everybody for your contributions
Your support...
We're buildin' a Maccabee House
Bo King...
[Chorus: Heart]
Power to the people...
Power to the people who fall behind
Too many souls are on the line
Challenge anything that holds you down
Power to the people, power to the people...
Look at all the others who've gone before
Struggle to the finish to give you more
Hope you realize what we're fightin' for
Power to the people...
[Killah Priest:]
Real talk...
I came from the gutters, same as my brothers
We shared ideas like Stevie with both eyes appeared
Inner vision became my system, intuition will kick in
Hype wisdom how we started as friends
Words of true prophets, the way martyrs begin
I swear, on every phrase that I mark with this pen
God is within, our bodies, but still the revolver spins
End depression in the heart of revenge
My teacher said, couldn't read or write
And through the struggle, and the pain, we breathe a life
We flee at night, The Maccabeez we bust at the clouds
An old man stopped us and said we should be aimin' down
We said, "God bless the devils", hex on us, flames around
But our bodies, walk on the angel's grounds
Priest, The Maccabeez, Timbo holds the tablets
Razah's an abbott, set free to all the captives
[Chorus]
[Hell Razah:]
In this Maccabee Temple, it's Hell Razah, Priest and Timbo
We open up the Benz door, blowin' out endo
Was too deep before now I made it more simple
Like Bill Gates did by creatin' y'all Windows
They still can't see through it, this millenium music
Our interviewers wanna know if we're Jewish
So I study my opponents by their ways and movements
Our names ring bells in the Soviet Union
Like BIG said before, y'all still re-coupin'
We independent salesmen movin' these units
Y'all still payin' rent cause your label is pimps
Cops wanna know the scent that's behind them tints
You could sit down, relax now, warm the bench
I'm a King so my sons'll be born a Prince
I follow footprints to Heaven so I walk with sense
Like Enoch did, walks on the Brooklyn Bridge
[Chorus: Lil' Fame, Billy Danze]
Power (power) power
(M dot O dot P devour) our
(Loyalty is royalty boss
We roll through wit tremendous force and bring)
(Power) power (power)
M dot O dot P devour (our)
Family stick to the plan (we) we
(Will) will (stand) stand, stand
[Billy Danze]
You motherfuckers gotta deal wit the consequences (for sure)
I'm takin no prisoners under no conditions (for sure)
I'm on a one way mission to hell, I'm missin details
Thinkin of ways to rebel, as I sat in my cell
(I know they wanna see you fail)
Fuck 'em, tell 'em see me
I come thru wit two, hands full of fire, don't see me
You can find me on the back blocks (in BK)
I be posted up at the crack spots (all day)
Where the sun don't shine, we immune to the rain
In the blood, sweat & tears, from the years in the game
My connection to Fame, is immortal
Them bullshit we fought through
(Remember what them Old Timerz taught you)
Treat fee like royalty, the First Family, about loyalty
Don't let a nigga change that, or rearrange that
(If a nigga try to change that)
You know where to aim at
[Chorus]
[Lil' Fame]
This is it y'all, I don't hold back
I'ma roll back, cock your four back, it's Womack nigga
Pack guns, back gems, sold crack nigga
I know the drug game but I chose rap, nigga
You want that raw shit, well it rock right here
You want that iced out shit, it's not right here
Cuz it drop right here, I'm top of the line
You at your borderline, how wack your shit, stop right here
Fizzy Wo', spittin on niggas
I drop diarrhea, watery shittin on niggas
We can clown all day, I come about the hole like it's Groundhog Day
And dump rounds all day (run up)
I'mma fuck ya funnel
This ain't no motherfuckin jam, bitch, squeeze ya gun up
(First Fam) Make the heat scream, watch the heat scheme
That's what the fuck I call a street team, we bring
[Chorus]
[Billy Danze] (Lil' Fame)
Stand up for the Family (shut shit down)
Bodies pop up (close shop up)
Some thugs wanna waste us (but them thugs won't face us)
Cuz our guns don't discriminate (and the slugs ain't racist)
(Pull a cock, back on it, nigga act on it
My blue steel shine, like I push a 'llac on it
No serial numbers, so it gotta scratch on it
And it make slugs travel like I put a Mack on it)
When we where just little boys (we seen the big picture)
Stuck down in the bottom (so we wrote our own scripture)
Surrounded by my niggas (day in and day out)
Got into shit to get figgas and couldn't find a way out
(Them Old Timerz in the hood)
They understand why we were always up to no good
(we was crying for help)
It's your everyday bring out, born in the middle of society's mess
Motherfucker, I possess
I've got the Power
I've got the Power
(verse 1)
"Don't say this, don't say that change your lyrics"
Everybody's a critic - It's gettin kinda hectic
My rhyme is authentic, so it shall remain
My writing exciting, never mondain
In actuality my personality
Keeps my mentality based on real
Life situations, not speculations
But verbal illustrations of how I feel
(verse 2)
Dull, void, without substance or content
You need to slow your speed, stop the nonsense
These are words of the rising sun surprising some
Who thought I was just another hum-drum
I'll take a page, write a phrase, then rephrase it
Treat it like a national flag and upraise it
So a nation of people can feel proud
About a brother who speaks out real loud
I've got the Power
I've got the Power
I've got the Power
(8x)
It's gettin, it's gettin, it's gettin kinda hectic
(verse 2 repeated)
I've got the Power
I've got the Power
I've got the Power
I've got the Power
(8x)
It's gettin, it's gettin, it's gettin kinda hectic
(verse 2 repeated)
I've got the Power
I've got the Power
You've got the Power
heheheee... come on
I've got the Power
You, you, you and me and Chill Rob G
We've got the Power
We've got the Power
I've got the Power
You've got the Power
The Chill one Rob G yeah
We've got the Power
I've got the Power
Look inside yourself
You might find something you like
Take your dreams above the horizon
And you shall see
A curse that runs very deep
To a rainbow with no gold
Fly high my child
For you may be the next king
Can you feel it, really feel it
Feel the power yeah yeah
Can you feel it, really feel it
Feel the power hell yeah
Warriors to fight for you
To put you in the throne
No one can hurt you
You will never be alone
Time is on our side
Before the break of dawn
The spirit in my soul
Feels like it is gone
Can you feel it, really feel it
Feel the power yeah yeah
Can you feel it, really feel it
Feel the power hell yeah
Can you feel it, really feel it
Feel the power yeah yeah
Can you feel it, really feel it
Feel the power hell yeah
Lines in the sand behind you
You can't see
Move to the light of being
Without me
Control the madness
That takes my mind
Search yourself again
And you will find
Can you feel it, really feel it
Feel the power yeah yeah
Can you feel it, really feel it
Feel the power hell yeah
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Can you feel it
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Can you feel it
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Can you feel it
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Take a look around
I see expressions on each face
I know some things just got to be done
The feelings must be replaced
So I talked it over with him
And I asked just what to do
He said trust in me cause you have power of mine invested in you
You have my power, you have my strength
You have my holiness within
Go out and share what I've given you
Don't be afraid don't be dismayed;
I light the way, my friend
Talk about the sharing and the giving you want to do
About your spiritual holiness and the faith I've given you
But I told you in my words, so many times you've read;
Even though you have a faith
Faith without works is dead
chorus (2x)
power, power in the blood, power in the blood of Jesus (repeated)
chorus
Yo, Listen,
Yo, Listen, (Listen)
Let me get the facts right while I look to the streets
No more natural schemes, tell me what do you see?
The psychology is, keep all the people uninformed
Like the case in the court, mandem playing with thoughts
Slicing brothers with swords, damage is the main chaw
Like the drugs on the road, hearts be turning so cold
Brothers selling their souls, for the money they destroy
Everything and everyone, like it’s for the gold or oil
Or maybe six feet of soil mandem digging before growth
Trying to cover the ends, with poisonous snow
Blood is what I can smell, under my nose
Situation serious, profit was the main cause
See you don’t know, it goes deeper than thoughts
Tactical release to the kids of the ghetto
Trying to make them forget, who really made the ghetto
A picture paints a thousand words and my words have settled
We don’t care what they say we shall move as a team
As they look as they stare what they do is not fair
We will stay as we pray we will not fall astray
Coz the lord gives us way and the power he retains
Coz the lord gives us way…and the power he retains
We will not fall astray…coz the power he retains
Taking a second look at the streets, mandem see disease
Adulterated roads, half of it is unseen
Misled moors, mans forgot about deen
Crackerjack facts come to your eardrum with a skill
Brothers don’t pay the upper man then a brother gets killed
Blood gets spilled, wrapped up in white cloth and sealed
Four to six feet deep under the ground concealed
Used to be called a G but no more is he a G
But now the biggest G-O-D, wanna weigh up the deeds
Man moved heaven and earth to get to big Gs
After all that struggle, he left them with ease
Gave himself and all the people around him a load of grief
Left his mans with grudge and tears, contemplating beef
Sense of clash, to introduce a military
Run up on the other side and take out the chief
But then eye for an eye, that’s deeper misery
We don’t care what they say we shall move as a team
As they look as they stare what they do is not fair
We will stay as we pray we will not fall astray
Coz the lord gives us way and the power he retains
Coz the lord gives us way…and the power he retains
We will not fall astray…coz the power he retains
The lord gives us way
We will not-not-not not fall astray
Coz the power-power-power the power he retains
The lord power power
Hey who's got the power?
2 bads got the power (repeat)
Diddy down diddy down down about the power
2 bad's got the power every second of the hour
cool and like ya never seen before
kickin it bacha, kickin bacha guess whose knockin at your door
It's me yo who else could it be?
The real terror in the night I'll decide your destiny
Like the power rangers I'm here to knock somebody the heck out
There is no competition that is out and runnin about
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger Im the only true Er...
2 bad 2 bad about it why don't 'cha sing and shout it
It's 2 bad... (x9)
There's no competition
I got the power
There's no competiton
Hey who's got the power?
JU, Overall, Conglom
It's like three-thirty in the morning and we
sitting here talking about money power so, I
decided to get a little verse together and drop
at the tape and let y'all know what we feelin'
ya know. I hope you niggaz ain't trying to rap for free
[Verse 1]
Not this my eyes are closed and my casket drops
I swear never again will I rap for props
I'm tryin' to quake up the block like an aftershock
With some speakers, y'all could feel from probly half a block
I'm trying to, dine discretely on Vinalpee street
I shop in Wankekee, rocking a daschiki
And I refuse to be these local cats
Cause I don't heard your little mix down
I'm knowing where your vocals at
Y'all cats ain't real rappers when the mic is off
They got to cut and paste your vocals likes it's Microsoft
I'm quite different, I used to like dissin'
Now I drop at the tape to escape from life's prison
At every Juice show, they find a mic missing
So don't hate my name, let the JU-ICE glisten
And critics, they need to stop, putting him in a box
We out for power and respect, like a kim in the locks
[Chorus + Overall]
I got my flow, gangsta clothes, sticky dro and all that tho'
But, it just don't matter to me. It's the money and the power
money and the power. That's all that matters to me
That's all that matters to a nigga these days
[Verse 2]
I'm trying to co-host Oprah, overdose on cho-cha
Cristale martini glasses, coach coasters
Finally I'm one with the rhyme at last
I heard a cat say "Ju-Ice, time had passed"
But I craft the lines like a mastermind
Do your research, I was just passing time
J, I spit lyrics that'll ring in your mind
So you better raise your bars like the Cingular sign
Plus, I grew up around some ignorant street kids
And they don't really care what part of the heat is
I got places to go, people to feed
In rap, I do not have an equal indeed let's proceed
I'm coming a floss
The only one that been througn more pain is the one on the cross
And no, this ain't a movie like CB4
Hugo, boss Conglomerate CEO
[Chorus + Overall]
In my crew, I can't lose, all my dudes rocking jewels 'cause
they know what matters to me. It's the money and the power
money and powers. That's all that matters to me
[Verse 3]
And your boy got these broke rappers mad at me
Cause with no deal, I still be living lavishly
Plus, any verse I spit will cost you half a key
I'm a titan, and you don't want to clash with me
I'm tryng to sneak up on the rap game casually
Until there's No Limit to my paper like Master P
Too furious, I live my life fast and free
There's one Juice, there'll never be another after me
G, the flow crazy as hell
And the CD done, we gon' drop it like David Terrel
Plus, now-a-day, everything I'm making it sell
And I done came a long way fron an eight in the scale
Ahh, Stop the hate, you cannot relate
I'm only in it for the power baby, props can wait
It's forty-nine to go jo, I got my state
And that's how a real Conglomerate would operate
[Chorus + Overall]
You do it all, cross the flow, snatching dough, pimping hoes
But, all that don't matter to me. Its not really important
It's the money and the power, money and the power. Let's go
That's all that matters to me
That's all that matters to a nigga these days, you know.
[Spoken word]
J-U, Conglomerate, the most dominant. Emac' on the track
What up Julias. We are not playing with these niggaz
I'm gon' say one thing 'fore we get out of here. If you niggaz
is rapping for free, you niggaz is stupid than a mothafucka
What the fuck are you niggaz rapping for not to sell records
Get your music up, hire some fucking musicians. J will
ghost-write your whole album for a couple grand. Just so we
could have Chicago looking hot. You niggaz cannot see me
Take it off, sho' 'nough kid, take it off
We gon' take it from the east to the west to the north to the south
Show y'all what it's about
Don't make me throw no gun in your mouth
Know? How long is your cream? This long?
Eh yo, his belt got karats in it
Swift description, E-320 nigga pitchin'
Rock a raw dinosaur chain, hang to his thang
It?s like, he pump isolated, still cashin' in cream
Niggas in the hood hate him, drew a vase of him
Blaze ?em, he actin' like Shallah raisin' him
This is hydrogen, son ain?t live as him
He like Maguyver, chin 4 spies with him
Roll relentless, desert that he hold is a gift wish
Smash the list, give his miss dick
Technique, operation sex scream
About the bet cream, them alligators jet like a vet swing
Nigga like Nicolas Cage with the gage in your braids
2 cannons that?ll spray, rockin' banana suede
Suck this drunk alcohol dick
Fuck y?all niggas with hits, we 'bout to shit on y?all shit
Y?all brothas wanna call us out?
Name names, otherwise it?d be the wise to shut the fuck up
Get pimp-smacked up, jacked up and macked up
You?re scared and froze of bein' exposed
I own Harlem, I bone Harlem, call me the Mayor
It?s my borough, you don?t want no problems
I?m on now, you dead pop, all jokes aside
I ride the top, you glide the bottom
Pitfall, 5 foot 9, my dick balls
Shit y?all, leave flat line to stick your?s
We flip off basic and brace it
8 kills, 47 ways to taste it
Never understand what you never been told
You did your book bitin' off of my scrolls
We hit man, Colombo, coats and hats to match
Bust off quick, and then, guns go back
Ah yo, I move like Arthur Ash against God
4 raquets, 8 balls and no practice
Every cypher?s a heated discussion
The industry was like a beat that needed percussion
And I brun the music, shit that make crews flip
Y'all might say that I?m the illest, this is Q.U. shit
I used to heat-hole, now I?m takin' over like the repo?
No bitches that roll, cee-lo that?ll sniff a kilo?
We went from Frank?s and beans to shanks and greens
Now we drive our navigators to banks in Queen?s
Y?all can?t fuck around, your words ain?t right
Every time I touch the mic, they say, "Perb ain?t right"
But that?s the truth though, d?oh, infact that?s it
When they drop this shit, I?m gon? cop that shit
It's the new star, you want me? I?m at the juice bar
Y?all once hap? niggas, give me 2 stars
I heard what y?all rappin' about, but bring your stash out
You shouldn?t throw rocks if you livin' in glass house
Sneak your weak shit at us, on the low though
Where these cats come from, speakin' about Po?
He got cash to cop and I?m crashin'
But half of y?all cats just catchin' up to Rae? last year
Got guns in the jungle, call ?em Jurassic
The chrome, the steel, the 22-shot plastic
While y?all niggas cop jars, me and my niggas cop bars
Gettin' head from rock stars
We blowin' everything apart, I?m smashin' the charts
How I see it? Yo, how you see it?
Eh yo, what you wanna be when you grow up?
Yo, I wanna be a leader
Slow your speed up and stop tryin' to be us
Say somethin' always, got a future? Stay out the hallways
And get yourself right, a 100 more ways
Fly like iceberg, nice with verbs, precise words
Bentley swerve, hit the curb, jump out, cock back, spit out
Shut your block down, get out, criminal route
Gangsta shit, can?t talk now, gun in your mouth
Cream team killas, cocoon cats like caterpillars
Giant size gorillas, break niggas backs from the skrilla
Scratch, greenback track, Fed?s berserk
That?s my word, disrespect Recca, get what you deserve
Inferno, melt down mic?s, millionaire in my afterlife
Broke bread with Christ on the last night
Apocalypse, sleep with 4-5th, 2 clips
Passport, cellphone with the removable micro-chip
Specialist, 40-karat Sicilian necklace
Let me tell you a little story
Grandma, used to say nothing before it was time
Used to say that the world would be mine
So I should just have faith
She showed me, all I need in this life is for free
Change is one thing that is guaranteed
So I should just keep pace
So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy named Glory
He went to my head
I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
I feel the power
I feel the power
I want the power
Strong will
Long the road met a girl named Doubt
Wrapped in my mind, couldn't get her out
No matter how I tried it
And somewhere she introduced me to a friend named Fear
Thought I would never get the hell out of here
I had to say goodbye
So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy named Glory
He went to my head
I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
I feel the power
I feel the power
I got the power
I feel the power
You wanna feel invincible?
If you wanna victorious
If you wanna feel this way
Let me hear you say
Power
Say power
Say power
Say power
I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
i don't bother asking questions
when all you say is no
and don't bother acting with convention
when all you say is go
tell me tell me what did you do love
tell me tell me what did you do love
get up and fight now
people unite now
we'll be alright if we just stand together
we'll be alright if we just stand together
i won't cause any complication
no complication

and I won't bother to contridict my opinion
because you do, me too
tell me
what would you do love?
tell me
what would you do love?
stand up and fight now
yeah yeah yeah
people unite now
I'll tell ya
we'll be alright if we just stand together
we'll be alright if we just stand together
children sing
this is their father's town
and nothing in the world can bring them down
good ___ on this day
take ___ to oppress a mean
you have no power
for you see you lost it within this hour
children have been brought up strong
in my eyes they can do no wrong
they are the future for us all
they're going to give it all they got
until they reach freedom they won't stop
they're only try to sing our songs
tell me what did you do love
tell me what did you do love
people unite now
yeah yeah yeah
stand up and fight now
yeah yeah
we'll be alright if we just stand together
tell ya
we'll be alright if we just stand together
Kick your roots, break the bonds.

To devour.
Hear our call of justice for all.
