Rage Against The Machine - Take The Power Back
.
Crank the music up Bring that shit in Yeah, the movement's in motion
with mass militant poetry Now check this out In the right light, study
becomes insight But the system that dissed us Teaches us to read and right
So called facts are fraud They want us to allege and pledge And bow down
to their God Lost the culture, the culture lost Spun our minds and through
time Ignorance has taken over Yo, we gotta take the power back Bam! Here's
the plan Motherfuck 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 the 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 Yeah,
we gotta take the power back Come on, come on 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 causin'
tears and fears One-sided stories for years and years and years I'm inferior?
Who's inferior? Yea, we need to check the interior Of the system that cares
about only one culture And that is why We gotta take the power back Yeah,
we gotta take the power back Come on, come on We gotta take the power back
Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it, break it down Awww
shit And like this...uggh Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way The
teacher stands in front of the class But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies Bouncing off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept I guess he fears playing the fool The complacent
students sit and listen to some of that Bullshit that he learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing on Can't learn a thing from it Yet we hang
from it Gotta get it, gotta get it together then Like the motherfuckin'
weathermen To expose and close the doors on those who try To strangle and
mangle the truth 'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on,
come on We gotta take the power back No more lies Yeah Take it back Joe
Take it back, a-take it back A-take it back Joe, come on Take it back Joe
Take it back, a-take it back A-take it back Joe, come on Yeah
