Power

You would have us forget, you would have us make it easier
Have us regret, you would never say her name
You would have us forget how the mother's pressure
Freed the sons and daughters caught in torture chambers
Talk about it

Yeah we've always been great, for a long time now
But you always debate, for a long time now
What a woman should make, what a woman should take
But you never ask a woman, what a basic mistake?

Naona chenye mimi sita do
Ni ku argue na mafala busy body like you
Wale wanafikiria sindiria ni weakness
Ni better ni speak-less my action mu-witness

Keep saying not the right time
You keep telling us not the right time
You keep singing not the right time
You keep telling us not the right time
I'm my own fix, I'm my own fixer
Write my own scripts, write my own scripture
And I'm so sick getting more sicker
See the whole mix, see the whole picture

Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder

Power power power, sisi ndio power
Watoto wa Hawa ndio sisi hawa
This time hatuchoki, this time hatuogopi
Pesa hatukopi, tena hatusoti
Ngumu kunishika kwanza jenga ka-CV
Mna pressure ya kumarry but hatujiskii
Mtabaki mukijicheki mshinde mkidebate-i
Kwenye ninaget-i pesa ya kibeti

This is for the women who came before for us
Who build the world for us, who made it work for us
This is for the women who came before for us
Who build the world for us, who made it work for us

I'm my own fix, I'm my own fixer
Write my own scripts, write my own scripture
And I'm so sick getting more sicker
See the whole mix, see the whole picture

Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder

You would have us regret, you would never say her name
You would have us forget, you would never say her name
You would have us forget, you would never say her name
You would have us forget
Talk about it

You have never been straight
You keep telling us to wait
Then you switch up the date (Tumechoka)
Then you tell us we hate
One another you blame us
You keep trying to shame us (To erase us)

Ooh, you would have us believe
There is something too big we can never achieve
Ooh, you would have us believe
There is something to be, we could never receive
