Lyrics
Sorry not sorry, pardon this army Young Seige the new Marcus Garvey Blacker the berry, sweeter the juice Darker the skin, the tighter the noose, truth prevails Once they make hating a crime, go to jail Nigga might save your life, post your bail Church full of evil guys, holy hell I'ma young voodoo child, know the spell Yeah, know the spell Uh, check the spell Know the spell They ain't ready They don't want you to win, want you to win People dying in the streets all due to skin Science says Africa's the birthplace of man Guess that means we really all niggas in the end You see innocence, I see inner sin Sick of asking, we 'bout to start blasting Sick of waiting, we 'bout to start taking We occupy the spot and leave that motherfucker vacant Fight the power Ignite the towers Yo, the night is ours Just fight the power We gotta fight the powers that be Just fight the power Ignite the towers We gon' riot for hours Just fight the power We gotta fight the powers that be I done lost a lot of friends and some next of kin Everybody mean well 'till the checks come in I'm known to get rowdy, I'm black and proud I hit like good weed, you just black and mild I put a spell on you I ain't never been a damn fool She wanna see my damn voodoo My potion made her friend come too I've always known the best crooks to wear suits and ties Niggas hungry for the truth but consuming lies Even heroes die, even killers cry In every peaceful mind, there's a war inside It's fucked up how the world has destroyed our pride You gotta take out a loan, just to take a chick home And by the time she finally let yo ass inside You find out that pussy ain't worth a dime Fight the power Ignite the towers Yo, the night is ours Just fight the power We gotta fight the powers that be Just fight the power Ignite the towers We gon' riot for hours Just fight the power We gotta fight the powers that be Why can't a black man go to college? Who said white folks control the knowledge? Why I gotta have dough, huh? Why I always gotta stunt? Why can't I be myself round these hoes, huh? Why I gotta rock a fade like the rest of yall? Fuck them Jays, why I gotta look my best for yall? Why I gotta act nice? I don't eff wit yall Girl, all I want is the sex we texted for The Seige keepin' it real, why act? Why I only listen to rap music, just cause I'm black? Why I can't like rock? Why I gotta sell rocks? Why can't I try stocks, huh? Why I walk into a store and they don't treat me right? Is it cause my nose big, they don't treat me white? Why I turn into a killer if I'm seen at night? 90's kids, but we know what them 60's like Why can't Taz be a part of the upper class? Why I only gotta like girls for tits and ass? Why I gotta carry guns just to kill my race, But do nothing to the cops that will beat my face? Why I gotta look in the mirror and hate myself And take drugs to the head 'till I ain't myself? Why my pops ain't around? Why there ain't no men? Why am I expected to grow up and be like him? Hey yo Fight the power Fight the power Yo, the night is ours Just fight the power We gotta fight the powers that be Just fight the power Ignite the towers We gon' riot for hours Just fight the power We gotta fight the powers that be
