Fight The Power

TransGriot Note: Whenever I get in a militant mood (which this ENDA bullcrap has me in right now), I pull out my Isley Brothers CD along with Public Enemy's 'Can't Truss It', Cameo's 'Talking out the Side of Your Neck' and other political themed songs. I've been playing this one most of the day.


Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile is in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
Got so many forces
Stayin' on the scene
Givin' up all around me
Faces full a' pain

I try to play my music
They say my music's too loud
I tried talkin' about it
I got the big run around
And when I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee, yeah
Smile's in the makin'
We gotta fight the powers that be
I don't understand it
People wanna see, yeah
Those that got the answers
Red tape in the way
I could take to it easy
That's just half the fun, naw naw
Seeking my satisfaction
Keeps me on the run

I try to play my music
They say my music's too loud
I tried talkin' about it
I got the big run around
And when I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee, yeah yeah
Smile is in the makin'
We gotta fight the powers that be
Fight it baby, yeah

Ooh, yeah, If you do it I can - fight the power
C'mon, Fight it, fight the power
Fight it, fight the yeah baby, yeah baby
Fight it, c'mon, fight the power
Fight it, fight it, fight the power
Fight, fight, fight the power
Stand up and fight it, fight the power
Stand up, Stand up Fight the power
Fight, fight, fight

fight fight the fight power
I believe, I believe flight the power
