And you thought the beat slowed down, come on
Turn me loose
Just turn it up
Power to the people y'all
Hey, turn me loose, turn it up
Get on up, get into it, get involved
Feel the bass as the cut revolves (hey)
To the brothers wit the 808
Like I said before PE got a brand new funk
Turn it up, boom the trunk, yeah
Internationally known on the microphone
Makin' sure the brothers will never leave you alone
To my sisters, sisters, yes we missed ya
Let's get it together make a nation
You can bet on it, don't sleep on it 'cause the troops cold jeepin' it
Turn it up
Turn me loose
Power to the people
Turn me loose
Turn it up, come on
Come on y'all, pump it up
Pump that face
Power to the people
Turn me loose
Turn us loose, we shall overcome
They say, "Where you get that bass from?"
Hey ohh people, people as we continue on
Come along, sings this song, are you ready for '91?
Rhythm nation pump that bass an
We like to know from Chicago, New York and LA
Are y'all ready, 'cause the plans in the jam
And we're ready to roll, yo y'all got to tell me
Are y'all read read to go, c'mon
Turn me loose
Turn it up
Power to the people, come on
Turn it up
Turn me loose, turn us loose
We shall overcome
Power to the people y'all, come on
Oh yeah, turn it up
Had to kick it like that as we roll as one
One under the sun, to all the cities and the side
Brothers and sisters stateside and the whole wide
There it is
P-e-a-c-e 1991
You gotta know what we're sayin'
It's a black thing so you got to understand
Turn me loose
