Power the Fight

When the dark falls upon us and the seeds have been placed
To grow hate in place of the weeds that we've raked
Rather than lose hope, break and leave in a haste
You've got to open your mouth and speak the disgrace
Want something wrong right? Then Power The Fight
Put fire in that mic! Speak! Power The Fight

Son I step upon the soapbox the second they hassle
Form syllables to fist, pound 'til they crackle
Collect a follower or six the second I pass go
And start a revolution of the mind to amass folks
And that's hopes, mics that your holding will blast quotes
Squandering that standing there will make you an asshole
Hip-hop needs a Montes, a Sal Castro
A blowout, to get the students out of the classrooms
Blast fumes are smelt the second they're dealt
Puts the fire at the feet of beasts protecting their belts
And the corporate detractors still collecting their wealth
On the backs of working folks that can't invest in themselves
Or invest in their health, insurance messes are hell
Police thats meant to be protecting put our best in a cell
Or a coffin, while some rapper spits of lesser and sells
His soul to the lowest figure, nothing left for himself
The spirit of the people grows and efforts excel
When the causes touch the heart, the message is felt
And a motivating speaker adds a breath to expel
So get them lungs going, help me clear the mess from the shelf

When the dark falls upon us and the seeds have been placed
To grow hate in place of the weeds that we've raked
Rather than lose hope, break and leave in a haste
You've got to open your mouth and speak the disgrace
Want something wrong right? Then Power The Fight
Put fire in that mic! Speak! Power The Fight

When the whole world around us seems to go the wrong way
Best believe i'm gonna have something to say
When it all starts to crumble 'fore we see the decay
Best believe i'm gonna have something to say
When it feels unjust I ain't playing their games
Best believe i'm gonna have something to say
If I got a mic in my hand before they take it away
Best believe that i'mma say something

When the dark falls upon us and the seeds have been placed
To grow hate in place of the weeds that we've raked
Rather than lose hope, break and leave in a haste
You've got to open your mouth and speak the disgrace
Want something wrong right? Then Power The Fight
Put fire in that mic! Speak! Power The Fight
