Lyrics : POWER
Don't give my ya two cents if that's all you got to offer
Don't bother. I don't give a f**k bout no pauper
I'm the prince. Let my purple reign
Money rules everythang. Just stepped in the game
12 years a slave to the gold chains, 2 chainz, blang, blang
F**k you gonna do with that 99 cents?
It don’t make no sense. I'm in the 1 percent
With 1 million, a zillion stacks to match
I'm in a whole other bracket we don't pay the same tax
Scrooge McDuck, my Messiah. Ebenezer, my God
Got my diamonds all appraised. Don't need ya callin' me a fraud
Oh, ya less fortunate? That's unfortunate
Oh, you don't got the sums? Is that my problem?
I won, I can make ends meet
You can't, you lose. Now kneel by my feet
Trumped you all, let’s have a grand old party
Where the rich get richer and we don't feel sorry
F**k all y'all poor n***as! I'm rich as f**k!
The money bring power
The money bring power, the money bring power
The money bring power
The money bring power, the money bring power
The money bring power
I'm stacking up Tubmans, get racks by the hour
The money bring power
The money bring power, the money bring power
I’m melanated by birth
Color of the King and the color of the earth
Pa**ed down to me as a gift and a curse
They see my brown skin and think they know my worth
Is that just the fate of a n***a?
Am I destined for something much bigger?
In the land of opportunity, my limit is the sky
But they clipped my wings before I even learned how to fly
It's a simple equation
My people aren't allowed to succeed in this nation
Unless you bojangle with a mic in the hand
Or you playing ball with 50k in the stands
The ku klux klan, is still allowed to stand
But Black Lives Matter is too much to handle?
Just a bunch of thugs and looters and vandals
And damn I haven't even the part
Where the cops are taking aim like they playin' rounds of darts
Pale skinned gods in their ivory towers
Ancient politicians, CEO's that buy their power
Last election cycle, they were one in the same
Trump is playing rounds like our future is a game
“But he gives black folks the time of day.”
Shut the f**k up! black republicans are f**king insane
Kendrick asked if dark rooms could produce fertile flowers
I don't see how that could happen, we ain't never had the power
If slavery was a choice, then I would have a voice
No 3/5th compromise, I would rejoice
Having overseers who wanna see me lynched
Whips on my back, wanna see me wince
With these foods stamps, Imma make a monopoly
Building property and y’all can't stop me
Think these hierarchies are gonna top me?
When I arose a king made to be free
See, I thought I could be a dropout
And pop out with a late registration
See the flaws of miseducation
Lauryn please help this graduation
Let's talk about power. Let's talk about fantasy
Lets the talk the difference between you and me
Hear these words of my soliloquy
Keep pushing daisies until the flowers bloom
A rose will surprise you on the darkest moon
A world where MF Doom is the president
And black thought is my next candidate
Let's get Wu-Tang to run the Senate
And the homies in the white house as the tenants
All men should be created equal. That's the sequel
Of the human race as a people
Uh, I felt a freedom in, first of all, just doing something that everybody tells you not to do. I just love Trump. That's my boy. Like, you know. It's like, so many rappers, you'll look at a video of Snoop Dogg loving Trump, but then he get into office and now they don't love him. Like, Trump is one of rap's favorite people, right?
What would you give for the wealth? (ay)
Some n***as giving themselves. (ay)
The sex and the chains and the bands, (yuh)
But can't get the blood off they hands. (uh!)
Guilty of leaving behind (yup)
Most if not all of their kind. (what)
The money corrupting the mind. (yuh)
The power is making them blind. (uh)
It shows in the comp’ny they keep. (ay)
The ones that we wanna impeach. (ay)
But look at the heights that he reached. (ay)
That's doesn't excuse all the
Racist, sexist homophobic moments
And he owns it
It's your onus not to hone in on this bogus
Boneless, spineless a**hole
Yeah, I'm always gonna represent that, but I also represent the world. When you hear about slavery for 400 years, for 400 years? That sound like a choice. Like, you was there for 400 years and its all of y'all? You know like, it's like we're mentally imprisoned. I like the word "prison" 'cauze "slavery" goes too direct to, uh, the idea of Blacks. It's like "slavery," Blacks. "Holoocaust," Jews. "Slavery" is Blacks. So prison in something that unites us as one race. Blacks and Whites being one race. We're one, we're the human race. Do you feel that I'm feeling?! Do you feel that I'm being free?!
