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 into their god

lost the culture, the culture lost

spun our minds and 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



Chorus:

we gotta take the power back

C'mon! C'mon!

we gotta take the power back



the present curriculum

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 spirit are causin tears and fears

one-sided stories for years and years and years

i'm inferior? who's inferior?

yeah, you needa check the interior

of the system who cares about only one culture

and that is why

we gotta take the power back



Chorus



the teacher stands in front of the class

but the lesson plan he can't recall

the students eyes dont perceive the lies

bouncing off every fucking wall

his compusure is well kept

i guess he fears playing the fewl

the complacent students sit and listen to the bullshit

that he learned in skewl



europe, aint my rope to swing on

cant learn a thing from it

yet we hang from it

gotta get it, gotta get it together then

like the motherfucking weathermen

to expose and close the doors on those who try

to strangle and mangle the truth

'cause the circle of hatred continues to react

we gotta take the power back



chorus



NO MORE LIES
