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
We gotta take the power back
Bam, here's the plan
Mother fuck Uncle Sam
Step back
I know who I am
Raise up your, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickless
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
Chorus:
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
Come on
Come on
The present curriculums
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 attepting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
Cause holes in out spirit are causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior?
Who's inferior?
It's time
We needa check the interior
Of the system who cares about only one culture
And that is why we gotta take the power back
Chorus
The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't 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 the
Bullshit that he learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hand from it
Gotta get it, gotta, get it together then
Like the mother fuckin' weatherman
To 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
Chorus
