-PART 1 
In the right light, study becomes insight 
But the systems that dissed us 
Teaches us to read and write 
So-called facts are fraud 
They want us to allege and pledge 
And bow down to thier God 
Lost the culture, the culture lost 
Spun our minds and through time 
Ignorance has taken over 
We gotta take the power back 
Bam! here's the plan 
Mother *** 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 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 

-CHORUS 
We gotta take the power back 
We gotta take the power back 

-PART 2 
The present curriculums 
I put my fist in 'em 
Eurocentric every last on e 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 gotta take the power back 
'Cause holes in our spirit are causin' tears and fears 
One-sides stories for years and years and years 
I'm inferior? Who's inferior? 
Yea, we needa check the interior 
Of the system who cares about only one culture 
And that is why 
We gotta take the power back 

-CHORUS 
-SOLO 
-PART 3 

-PART 4 
The teacher stands in front of the class 
But the lesson plan he can't recall 
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies 
Bouncing off every ***ing wall 
His composure is well kept 
I guess he fears playing the fool 
The complacent students sit and listen to the 
Bull*** that he learned in school 

-PART 5 
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 mother ***in' 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 

-Chorus 
-No more lies
