(Next!)
(Listen, do you mind if I go first, I've got to get back to the Stock Exchange before four)
(Oh sure, let you go embezzle your millions while I struggle to get by off minimum wage?) <whack!>
(I don't think so. Homey don't play 'dat)
(Homey says do like this!)
(And then Homey says close your eyes like this!)
1989 is the number of another summer
Get down with the sound of the funky drummer
Listen if you're missin' y'all
Singin' while I'm swingin' y'all
Giving what'cha getting knowin' what I know
While the Black band's sweatin'
And the rhythm rhymes roll
Gotta give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
You know we got to fight the powers that be
(Now how do you feel about yourself?)
(Totally dissed, Homey!)
(That's why Homey don't play 'dat!)
We got to pump the stuff that'll make us tough
You know that from the heart it's a start, a work of art
Revolutionize, make a change
No, nothin's strange
People we are not the same
We don't all know the game
Let's get down to business
With a little mental fitness
You gotta go bum rush the show
We gotta go with what we know
We gotta make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say...
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
You know we got to fight the powers that be
(Homey says do like this!)
(And then Homey says close your eyes like this!)
Elvis they say was a hero to most
But he never meant a thing to me, you see
He was straight up racist, he was simple and plain
You can forget him and
You can forget John Wayne
<Let's get this party started right!>
What we got to say what we're gonna say
Power to the people with no delay
It'll make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say...
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
You know we got to fight the powers that be
(That's just another long list of lies perpetrated by the man to keep a brother down)
(Listen, do you mind if I go first, I've got to get back to the Stock Exchange before four)
(Oh sure, let you go embezzle your millions while I struggle to get by off minimum wage?) <whack!>
(I don't think so. Homey don't play 'dat)
