EarthGang, CeeLo Green ft. Nick Cannon – Power

Lyrics Power – EarthGang, CeeLo Green feat. Nick Cannon

N**ga be pressed to claim a street
With a white man name
I pulled up to put you up on game
Whats 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 s**t
Coming up in small doses
Sometimes I sit back and roll up
And think of my heroes
And so it goes gain the world lose ya soul
Skull and bones
Puffy Combs

Too many n**gas dead and gone
When they just got on
And I be lying if I said its nothing wrong
Sometimes I sit back and roll up
And think of my heroes
And so it goes gain the world lose ya soul
Skull and bones
Puffy Combs

Power, power, power
Power, power, power

Put down your God and pick up your bible
Put down your picket signs pick up your rifle
Messages conflicting twisting on my metal
Love on your enemies, don’t you trust your kinfolk
Family feuding on American dream boats
Top of the food chain what them people kill for
Down your knees and pray up to God or
Stand on your feet and rise above all

As a child I was miseducated
I grew up praising power Guns, drugs misogynation
Fire inside, blazing constantly waiting
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
They see a black man shinning
They’ll shoot them down fast

F**k CEOs taking ya shows
And firing you at night like Nick that’s a Cannon blast
They’ll try to under cut your a*s, but out your cast
Say you crazy as hell Chappelle status
CEOs takin your sh*es and firing you at night like Nick
That’s a Cannon blast

Power, power, power
Power, power, power
Power

S**t that s**t powerful right there
You know what’s the wild s**t
I just named my daughter Power
And n**gas thought I was crazy for that
Hey call me crazy and n**gas that think they was crazy enough to change the world are the ones to actually do that s**t

Whether what I do you into or not
I done been to the top
And done been to thru a lot
And if I offend you or not
I might convince you to stop
See I’ve done been in the room
Watch others and assume
And I’ve got friends in the tomb

Boy I’ve done been in the back
And I have witnessed the axe
What kind of business is that
A slave masters business is black
But I have listened
I’ve done been in a compromising position
I’ve done been in their pockets to get on the playlist
I’ve done been in the system
But I am different

This industry s**t different
Its a major motion picture budget
Its lit different
My wrist different
And every woman I’m with’s different
Try going back to the old
You sometime and you miss different

But the corporate is morbid
They wanna put a mark in your forehead
A quake in their handshake
But too fake for the fans sake
But I’m better than average
And I deserve to have this
And I mean mug men in the suits and ties
Lookin like Imma bad b**ch

But I never lost my religion
So I’m lucky
When a lot of these artists right here
Thinking to themselves like
Damn why don’t none of them wanna f**k me
So glad that I’m ugly
Boy stop I’m beautiful
These motherf**kers will kill you
Be at the front seat of your funeral
Just want you to know
Remain a man every minute of your hour
Cuz a lot of these motherf**kers 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
And excite to the Most High
Yeah pretty much all I’m sayin is
Imma do what I can and Imma let God do what I can
So I’m just tryna make it before the light change
And I’ll fall off like a bright chain
It’s a minor set back for a major comeback

Should we do everything
All Black we own this s**t
We workin for all Blacks
Thats why I had to get my s**t back
Power…
