[Verse 1: Blu & [?]]
Ninety percent of the brain unused
Eighty five percent is wanted truth
Five percent of knowledge from the gods on earth
One hundred percent knowledge is self rebirth
Of the nation from suffocation
The new generation don't know when judgement day is coming
You can hear I'm a deist playing somethin'
But it sounds like the drummer drumming
My mamma once said
"The devil doesn't know what you saying when you humming"
We coming
(Power to the people)
Who could spot the out-rising
Uniting shift the whole paradigm
Despite who the tyrant at the time is (Power to the people)
The undermined and the undivided
That one of a kind sign scientist tried synthesizing
But even if they find a way to mechanize it
We gon' still recognize the real by the acts of the people
[Hook]
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people (People, people)
Power to the people (People, people)
Power to the people

[Verse 2: [?] & [?] ]
Yeah, the meeting of the [?] minds
The people liberate the North Dakota pipeline
Way deeper than your twitter feed or timeline
The lord I hit you with a hard-knock or drive-by
(Power to the people)
Yeah, the power just to [?]
So free Mumia and bring some justice out to Walter Scott
I call the freedom fighters, never will I call the cop
And fuck the president 'cause we the one who call the shots
I hop about that [?]
Looking [?]
Drop a Desert Eagle fight for free but it ain't no equal for us
Mine extensions, mine convictions like Jenifer's horrors
Pour some liquor for my people leave some sequence for us
Power to the peoples, power to the folk and power when you vote
And if that power showers leave us soaked
Running with my blood and know blood ain't soaked
Give us free or give us heat and make them cowards go
(Power to the people)
[Bridge: Aloe Blacc]
We the power to the people
All we wanted was to be equal (Power to the people)
But when you shoot a little boy in the back because he black
You just a coward to the people (To the people)
Power to the people
We plant flowers let the seeds grow
Spread love let it shower away evil (Power to the people)
Power to the people
Don't nobody deserve all of the power
So when I get it, watch how I'm gonna give it to the people
(Power to the people)
We are the Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Marcus Garvey
(Power to the people)
Malcolm X and Nat Turner told me to soldier [?]

[Verse 3: [?] & [?]]
[?]
American [?]
Not the people and power is the power in the people
Patrolling our own ghetto no borders and police do
They still got a problem acknowledging us as equal
I got some [?] that [?] out Mexico
You can build your wall, bet it fall like Jerico
Imagine power for the powerless, Dollar for the Dollarless
Gender equality and then ending the poverty
Event a new policy
[?]
It's all abomination in a nation full of follow-mes
Not one leader 'cause the leaders get struck by hitters
Blindfold blind and shackles on their mind
And they claim they freed us
Before I was a fetus to feed us lies deceive us
Leave us astraine so the mental pain ain't never eases
Leaving diseases in our food when we can see through the evil
I and I stand up for the truth say it
