Power
Power
Love and Power to all my Black people
Who've been oppressed and marginalised for centuries
Told discoloured white lies about our royal identities
But the truth will set us free and all disciples need to get to work
Cos' Yeshua came to release the captives
To let the oppressed go free
We don't fight in the flesh whether you're black or white
Cah' skin colour is not where demons reside
Strapped with the word of God na we don't compromise
Back my Black people in prayer now watch the kingdom ride
Fair enough making noise and protesting out is right
But racism will be the captain of the ship if you're drowning Christ
Sin's been around for time
So I don't believe the media lies
Trust in God confess you aren't oppressed
1st Peter 2 verse 9
You can call me an ally
Cos truly I'm human
Please tell me how can I
Refuse to be fuming
When I see 'em mistreated for the colour of skin
They say all lives matter to be rubbing it in
Because everybody counts but not everyone's a target
Some face drama
But never wanna start it
Black History is everybody's history
Adam and Eve in the garden's what it is to me
Can you help me?
Love my colour
(We are all) Melanated
(We put the) Hue in human
Tired of the lies
Tired of the fight
Tired of the media
Telling me they're right
It's all just a mirror into where sin resides
In the deepest recess of the unrenewed minds
But I know it's so real when I hit my head on two glass ceilings
Had to pray to God for that inner healing
But Jesus is the way, truth and life
My God will make a way every need He'll supply
There's been a shift
We need a change (Need a change)
Black Lives matter
Yeah we proclaim (Yeah)
We are humans we all bleed the same
But the way they treat us in inhumane
So much hate
Police see black skin and our lives they take
We need justice
Our hearts ache
Still we stand strong
(Still we stand strong)
Can you help me?
Love my colour
(We are all) Melanated
(We put the) Hue in human
Everybody's chasing power for their own needs to succeed
Can we use the power to change the world?
Change the world
Everybody's chasing power for their own needs to succeed
Can we use the power to change the world?
Change the world
Can you help me?
(Oh can you help me, please?)
Love my colour
(Love my colour yeah yeah)
(We are all) Melanated
(Oh oh oh oh)
(We put the) Hue in human
(Human)
Can you help me?
(Ooooh)
Love my colour
(Who God created me to be)
(We are all) Melanated
(Said I was made in His image, made in His image ooh yeah)
(We put the) Hue in human
(Breaking through every barrier that I can see)
