God give you your breath of life. He didn't give you to please one nation or one color of people.
You understand? Let the people ultimately decide.
The voice of the people is the voice of God, you know?
We want the power for the people.
That's all we ask in our country, dear.
That's all we ask.
The sick and the hungry are unable.
Unable. Unable.
Protect them and those who may live in fear.
A proper introduction will not drive it on percussion.
Power is the topic of discussion.
Oppression, the people's suffering.
Supply them with the weapons that you prefer from destruction.
No interruption. Stop it with your bluffing.
The president will shower you with rockets over nothing.
Watch the way you talk and they listen to you often.
Under observation to you.
Stand in your coffin. I'm talking about the misuse of power and control.
When authorities abuse of it devours it to soul.
When they destroy the twin towers as a whole,
the government can't resist to keep the cowards in control.
Can your fear and your faith make you manage?
Because one mistake can make you vanish.
Power in the hands of the fake and embarrassed
only manages to cause irreplaceable damage.
We want the power for the people.
That's all we ask in our country, dear.
That's all we ask.
The sick and the hungry are unable.
Unable.
Protect them and those who may live in fear.
Grand Bourbon effect to the east.
Ex -con.
Liberation. Empowerment.
A universal gift, not a privilege.
Been living on the edge since the pilgrimage.
Been running from these snakes since the genesis.
You know what time it is.
Same biz, different day, different hoods, one way.
Injustice.
It's all lies matter.
Statistics outweigh the gibberish.
Update your data.
And improve the recipe.
Equality, let it bubble with humility.
Martin's peace with Panther's agility.
Malcolm's fire, Selassie nobility.
Public enemy, I speak to peace.
I'm all about the balance when it comes to the streets.
Power to the people and strength to the meek.
Pass it to those who soon are to leave.
We want the power for the people.
That's all we ask in our country, dear.
The sick and the hungry are unable.
Protect them with those who may live in fear.
When the love of power is overtaken by the power of love,
then the world will know peace.
The cold facts, ideas made for change go flat.
Like a tire that twirls with slow leaps.
The best nation where people's expectations are higher than snow peaks.
But most of us won't reach.
Scholars and scientists know but won't teach.
The world is a stage, but the theater has no seats.
Tax dollars for weapons and stem cell research.
I rap for a living and my friends sell T -shirts.
Am I contributing to evil being reworked?
I ask my government and their reaction is knee -jerk.
The money you form in foreign affairs.
Ignoring warnings of terrorist scares.
Head home to close in despair.
They say the police deserve your respect.
Power corrupts those who serve and protect.
We want the power for the people.
That's all we ask in our country, dear.
The sick and the hungry are unable.
Protect them with those who may live in fear.
We want the power for the people.
We want the power for the people.
We want the power for the people.
We want the power for the people.
We want the power for the people.
We want the power for the people.
