Swingin? while I? m singin?

While the black bands sweatin?
And the rhythm rhymes rollin?

Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death

As the rhythm designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes designed to fill your mind
Now that you? ve realized the prides arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
From the heart, it? s a start, a work of art
To revolutionize, make a change, nothin? s strange
People, people, we are the same
No, we? re not the same, 'cause we don? t know the game
What we need is awareness, we can? t get careless
You say what is this?

Mental self defensive fitness
Yo, bum rush the show

Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother fuck him and John Wayne
'Cause I? m black and I? m proud
I? m ready and hyped plus I? m amped
Most of my heroes don? t appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for four hundred years if you check
Don? t worry be happy was a number one jam
Damn, if I say it you can slap me right here
Let's get this party started right
Right on, c? mon, what we got to say
Power to the people, no delay
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
We've got to fight the powers that be
