the
number,
another
summer
(get
down)
Sound
of
the
funky
drummer
Music
hitting
your
heart
′cause
I
know
you
got
soul
(Brothers
and
sisters,
hey)
Listen
if
you're
missing
y′all
Swinging
while
I'm
singin'
Giving
whatcha
gettin′
Knowing
what
I
knowin′
While
the
Black
band's
sweating
And
the
rhythm
rhymes
rolling
Got
to
give
us
what
we
want
Gotta
give
us
what
we
need
Our
freedom
of
speech
is
freedom
of
death
We
got
to
fight
the
powers
that
be
Lemme
hear
you
say
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight

power
We′ve
got
to
fight
the
powers
that
be
As
the
rhythm's
designed
to
bounce
What
counts
is
that
the
rhyme′s
Designed
to
fill
your
mind
Now
that
you've
realized
the
pride′s
arrived
We
got
to
pump
the
stuff
to
make
ya
tough
From
the
heart
It's
a
start,
a
work
of
art
To
revolutionize
make
a
change
nothing'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?"
My
beloved
let's
get
down
to
business
Mental
self-defensive
fitness
(Yo)
bum
rush
the
show
You
gotta
go
for
what
you
know
To
make
everybody
see,
in
order
to
fight
the
powers
that
be
Lemme
hear
you
say
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the
power
Fight
the

We′ve
got
to
fight
the
powers
that
be
Fight

power
Fight

We've
got
to

the
powers

Elvis

a
hero
to
most
But
he
never
meant
shit
to
me,
you
see
Straight
up
racist
that
sucker
was
Simple
and
plain
Motherfuck
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

look
back

look
and
find
Nothing

years

Don′t
