  Bring that shit in, uh
  Yeah, the movements in motion with massive militant poetry
  Now check this out, uh
  In the right light, study becomes insight
  But the system that dissed us, teaches us to read and write
  So-called facts are fraud
  They want us to allege and pledge and bow down to their god
  Lost the culture, the culture lost
  Spun our minds and through time, ignorance has taken over
  Yo, we gotta take the power back
  Bam, heres the plan
  Motherfuck Uncle Sam, step back, I know who I am
  Raise up your ear, Ill drop the style and clear
  Its the beats and the lyrics they fear
  The rage is relentless
  We need a movement with a quickness
  You are the witness of change and to counteract
  We gotta take the power back
  Yeah, we gotta take the power back
  Come on, come on
  We gotta take the power back
  The present curriculum, I put my fist in em
  Eurocentric, every last one of em
  See right through the red, white, and blue disguise
  With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
  Installed in our minds and attempting to hold us back
  Weve got to take it back
  Holes in our spirit causing tears and fears
  One-sided stories for years and years and years
  Im inferior? Whos inferior?
  Yeah, we need to check the interior
  Of the system who cares about only one culture
  And that, is why we gotta take the power back
  Yeah, we gotta take the power back
  Come on, come on
  We gotta take the power back
  Ayo check, were gonna have to break it
  Break it, break it down, aw shit
  And like this
  Uh! Come on
  Yeah, bring it back the other way
  Uh
  The teacher stands in front of the class
  But the lesson plan he cant recall
  The students eyes dont perceive the lies
  Bouncing off every fucking wall
  His composure is well kept
  I guess he fears playing the fool
  The complacent students sit
  And listen to that bullshit that hed learned in school
  Europe aint my rope to swing on
  Cant learn a thing from it, yet we hang from it
  (Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
  Like the motherfuckin Weathermen)
  Expose and close the doors on those who try
  To strangle and mangle the truth
  Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
  We gotta take the power back
  Yeah, we gotta take the power back
  Come on, come on
  We gotta take the power back
  No more lies
  No more lies
  No more lies
  No more lies
  No more lies
  No more lies
  No more lies
  No more lies
  Uh!
  Yeah, take it back, yall
  Take it back, a-take it back, a-take it back, yall
  Come on, take it back, yall
  Take it back, a-take it back, a-take it back, yall
  Come on, uh, yeah
