Nigga be pressed to claim a street with a white man name I pulled up to put you up on game What's ya focus? What ya doin'? What you want out this life? I want power can't never be satisfied with fame I'm just a man of the people From 'round the way like the Beatles I been exposed to new levels I'm always tryna do better Roll with my roadies like Cheadle You say the top can get lonely I say the bottom is lethal I want the crown, I'm medieval See us gettin this money, they still don't see us as equals They know that we don't control shit, coming up in small doses Sometimes I sit back and roll up and I think of my heroes And so it goes, gain the world, lose ya soul Skull and bones, Puffy Combs Too many niggas dead and gone when they just got on And I be lying if I said it's nothing wrong Sometimes I sit back and roll up and I just think of my heroes And so it goes, gain the world, lose ya soul Skull and bones, Puffy Combs Power, power, power Oh, power, power, power Put down your God and pick up your Bible (yeah) Put down your picket signs and pick up your rifle (brrat, brrat, brrat, brrat, brrat) Messages conflicting twisting on my mental, love on your enemies Don't you trust your kinfolk (ay, f*ck them niggas over there, man) Family feuding on (he always need somethin' American dream boats (he always askin' for money) Top of the food chain, what them people kill for (huh?) Down your knees and pray up to God or Stand on your feet and rise above all, uh As a child I was miseducated I grew up praising power, guns, drugs misogynation Fire inside, blazing constantly waikin' Me and demons engaging in conversation on how we finna get paid But through it all placed my hands on my balls, that's a power grab (yeah) They see a black man shinning they'll shoot them down fast (yeah) F*ck, CEOs taking ya shows and firing you at night like Nick, that's a Cannon blast They'll try to under cut your ass, but out your cast Say you crazy as hell, Chappelle status Ceos taking ya shows and firing you at night like Nick, that's a Cannon blast (Power, power, power) shit That shit powerful right there (oh) (Power, power, power) you know what's the wild shit?

So glad that I'm ugly, boy, stop I'm beautiful These motherfuckers'll kill you Be in the front seat of your funeral Just want you to know Remain a man every minute of your hour A lot of these motherfuckers be all plugs with no power (Power, power, power) Yeah so let the words of my mouth And the meditation in my heart Be acceptable in the sight of the Most High (Ohh, power, power, power) yeah Pretty much all I'm sayin' is I'ma do what I can and I'ma let God do what I can't (Power, power, power, power, power) shit I'm just tryna make it 'fore the light change And I'll fall off like a bike chain It's a minor set back for a major comeback Shit, we do everything all black (hey, hey) (Power, power, power, power, power) we own that shit We reppin' for all Blacks That's why they had to get my shit back Power
