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 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 ear 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 quickness
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

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 attempting to hold us back
We've got to take it back
'cause holes in our spirits are causin' tears and fears
One sided stories for years and years
I'm inferior who's inferior
Yea we need to check the interior
Of a system who cares about only one culture
And that is why we gotta take the power back

We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back

The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plans he can't recall
The students' eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouncing of 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
Gotta get it gotta get it together
Then like the mother fuckin' weathermen
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
