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
