Rage Against The Machine - Take the Power Back.gp3
Crank the music up
Bring that shit in
Huh
Yeah, the movement's in motion
With mass militant poetry
Now check this out
Uh
In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us teaches us to read and write
So-called facts are fraud
They want you to allege and pledge and
Bow down into 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
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
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yeah, you need to check the interior
Of the system who cares about only one culture
And that is why we gotta take the power back
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
Uh
And like this, uh
Come on, yeah
Bring it back the other way
Uh
The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The students' 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 that bullshit
That he'd 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 motherfucking 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
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
Uh
Yeah
Take it back y'all
Take it back, take it back, take it back y'all, c'mon
Take it back y'all
Take it back, take it back, take it back y'all, c'mon
