    (First Verse:)
    1989---the number....another summer
    Get down! Sound of the funky drummer!
    Music hittin ya heart cuz I know ya got soul
    Brothas and sistas, hey!
    Listen if ya missing ya'll
    Swingin while I'm singin
    Givin whatcha gettin
    Know what I'm knowin
    While them black bands sweatin
    And them rhythm rhymes rollin
    Gotta give us what we want---uh!
    Gotta give us what we need---hey!
    Our freedom of speech
    Is freedom or death
    We gotta fight the powers that be!
    Lemme hear ya say
    FIGHT THE POWER!!! (repeat 7x)
    WE GOTTA FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!!!
    (Second Verse:)
    As the rhythm's designed to bounce
    What counts is that the rhyme's
    Designed to fill ya mind
    Now that you realize the pride's arrived
    We gotta pump the stuff to make us 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
    Cuz 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
    We gotta go for what we know
    Hey---to make everybody see
    In order to fight the powers that be
    Lemme hear ya say
    FIGHT THE POWER!!!! (repeat 7x)
    WE GOTTA FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!!!
    (Terminator X interlude)
    FIGHT THE POWER!!! (repeat 5x)
    WE GOTTA FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!!!
    (Third Verse:)
    Elvis was a hero to most
    But he never meant sh** to me
    Ya see---straight out racist that sucker was
    Simple and plain---motherf*** him and John Wayne
    Cuz I'm Black and I'm proud
    I'm ready---I'm hyped plus I'm amped
    Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
    Sample a look back
    You look and find nothing but rednecks for 400 years
    If you check---"Don't Worry Be Happy" was a number one jam
    Damn if I say it---you can slap me right here
    Get it---let's get this party started right
    Right on
    What we gotta say----yeah
    Power to the people----no delay
    To make everybody see
    In order to fight the powers that be

      +CaapriceTube I was born in 74. As little kids at the end of the 70's our parents dressed us up as the village people and watched us dance to disco. By the time i was 9 breakdancing was the thing . junior high was Beastie Boys, RUN-DMC ,Kool Moe Dee , LL Cool J. by high school in the early 90's it seemed like every new hip hop act brought their own innovation to the game. we bought our music on cassette and we made mixtapes from our cassettes on our ghetto blasters. It was a good time.

    • @CaapriceTube1
      @CaapriceTube1 Před 8 lety

      Sean Donnelly Can imagine. Being born in 1974 mustve been great, you got to see the last bit of the 70s, grow up in the 80s, and still young in the 90s...even into the early 2000s too. Hats off to you, wish Iwas born earlier, but hey I'll take 1989 over being born in this generation or late-90s.

    Yo, listen up, in the streets where it's rough,
    Where the hustlers hustle, and the dealers puff,
    Born in the belly of the beast, where it's real,
    Grew up fast, learned to steal and deal.
    A product of the block, where the shots ring out,
    Where survival's the game, and doubt's the only route,
    From the concrete jungle, where the weak get devoured,
    To the top of the game, where the strong got power.
    Raised in the era of crack and crime,
    Where the only way out was to climb and climb,
    A street soldier, with a heart of stone,
    In a world where the truth is never shown.
    Every word he spits, like a bullet from a gun,
    Every rhyme, every line, weighs a ton,
    No mercy in his flow, just raw grit,
    In the land of the lost, he's the ultimate hit.
    From the corners to the clubs, he's a kingpin,
    With a crew so tight, they always win,
    Innovating the game, with a style so fresh,
    In the heart of the struggle, he's the best of the best.
    So listen close, to the words he speak,
    In the language of the streets, where the strong seek,
    A voice for the voiceless, a hero in the night,
    In the world of gangster rap, he's the beacon of light.
