Power Lines - Ea$y Money, Reks

Now people try to tell us

But we are too young to know now

Misguided, misinformed

Miss-educated, huh?

Our population gone outta control long

Before the company of misery, miscellaneous storms

Miss America, misinterpreted, end up in poem

Pussy poppin', black girl lost, from

Mysterious missus body found missing

Nobody miss her in the morn'

Degraded, decomposed, desensitized to time

Detective dealin' with dealers behind yellow lines

That taped off

Chalk outline that lies beauty personified

Candles and vigils, child an issue hearin' momma cry

Each time a child born somebody dies

A suicide, a homicide, it’s do or die wherever ghetto problems rise

They say you too young to understand

Troubles of your brother man

Struggles of your sisters in the gutter fam

Don’t let 'em misrepresent, deny your intelligence

Defy the elements

Deceit merely evident

Many will come, many will go

All I know

Many will rise, many below, truth be told

We got the power and it goes

«I Got the Power» — Snap

You, you, you, you got the power

Many will come, many will go

All I know

Many will rise, many below, truth be told

We got the power and it goes

«I Got the Power» — Snap

You, you, you, you got the power

Fuck the presence of presidents

System setting us up for failure

Governor, senator, evil elements

May negligence to your needs of the people

Divide and equal, decide a sequel

Upper class give hesitance

We do not need to be walkin' blind, peep warnin' sign

Invest in company, money managed by mornin' time

The corner crime is parallel to recession

9 to 5, lessons build aggression, we need walls to climb

There’s no democracy, obvious in your policy

Poverty, put in prison, paper chase, honestly

No oxygen to breath

No baby momma wanted seeds to be raised in these times

Of dire needs

Eyes bleed from the visions

Viscous divisions

No minute to listen, seconds steadily tickin'

Pissin' in elevators and spittin' in lawyer faces

Got the power

Eyes wide in rebellion stages

Many will come, many will go

All I know

Many will rise, many below, truth be told

We got the power and it goes

«I Got the Power» — Snap

You, you, you, you got the power

Many will come, many will go

All I know

Many will rise, many below, truth be told

We got the power and it goes

«I Got the Power» — Snap

You, you, you, you got the power

We live in a cold world where nobody send a positive mess-age

That’s why it’s such a mess in this age

Nothin' changed but the season

We come, to learn that he who think you get freedom for free is dumb

And my dawgs is, lawless

Cause they charge us, hundreds of dollars

Just so our sons can be ballers

Meanwhile them same dicks that enforce the laws is

Drivin' round town in they brand new Chargers

We just can’t afford this

So we movin' all this

Rawness, and our daughters strip to pay for college

Raised with no fathers

Catchin' charges, just makin' it harder for employers to employ us

But, this is my life

If I control my destiny

So it’s up to me to bring out the best in me

Let these words penetrate your mind

Elevate your mind

Escalate the grind, get your hands high

Say, «I, I, I, I got the power, power.»

You, you, you, you got the power, power

We, we, we, we got the power

«I Got The Power»

So let’s live our lives as if we in the final hour

Many will come, many will go

All I know

Many will rise, many below, truth be told

We got the power and it goes

«I Got the Power» — Snap

You, you, you, you got the power

Many will come, many will go

All I know

Many will rise, many below, truth be told

We got the power and it goes

«I Got the Power» — Snap

You, you, you, you got the power
