Power

Yo, behind the scene Rasheen calling shots

We debate in front of have nots, lost souls from back blocks

Everybody in they heart feelin they all can rap

Thinkin it’s a way out the trap

School is lame, fell it, they gave nothing to gain

All they know is guns and cocaine

I can’t recall the moment, the time the suits despised rap saying it was noise and non-sense

Once it became a voice for the people

They saw dollar signs, artists got signed

Low level opinionated A in all

So officer had no clue what was going on

Fast forward, cash out the start of money

Skewer days, I really can’t call it

Evil seeds in place, all I’m seeing is a wasteland built off drugs, money and self-hate

I’ll tell you the difference between me and them

They tryna get they guams, I’m tryna get them fans

I wanna be free to live

Ain’t but a how what I need to live

Bring the power back to the streets where the people live

I might front but I won’t go backward

I’m every slave’s dream, I own my masters

I’m like most rappers, even if I don’t go platinum

I live like I did, that’s all that matters

They said I couldn’t do it, I did it

Independent with lyrics and don’t produce it for listeners

All the music no excuses,

Only a chosen few shall improve until we prove the coats influence result to the moguls’ influence

Revolution’s the only solution

Back to base and stop chases, illusions of vultures looming

Causing confusion, regain the focus you losin

The goal’s improving, the future of our culture ensured in the vocally gifted artists supposed to be winning

But those who be spinning a dick ride are more than the women

Causin division by ignoring the feelings of fans who know what is missing

Hip-hop in its purest existence

I’ll tell you the difference between me and them

They tryna get they guams, I’m tryna get them fans

I wanna be free to live

Ain’t but a how what I need to live

Bring the power back to the streets where the people live

Another record label snitch but fuck it

Used up upon love kid, no I’m not doing it big

Try to throw me under the bus will ruin the kid

It came back with full fronts and exclusive kicks

Stays up ahead, always adapt if all survive

Sharpen your eyes, in other words sharpen your mind

That’s your most valuable tool

Always stay alerted, wide open, alerted all times, actual truth

Make opportunities happen,

Well think of a fulltime student of rapping, you’re responsible for your actions

No complaints, you ain’t got no time for that

‘Cause time’s money and you bring the red 9 to black

Get it what you’re feeling is more power impacts

Pop em before they pop us in the showering cast

From corporate pack lies to crack spots

I gots the chop shops way before you popped out your mom’s box

I’ll tell you the difference between me and them

They tryna get they guams, I’m tryna get them fans

I wanna be free to live

Ain’t but a how what I need to live

Bring the power back to the streets where the people live
