Kanye West "Power"
"Screams from the haters/got a nice ring to it/I guess every superhero need his theme music."
I’m livin’ in the 21st century Doin’ something mean to it Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power (21st century schizoid man)
The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, ma’f-cka, we rollin’ Huh? Ma’f-cka, we rollin’ With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands In this white man’s world, we the ones chosen So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin’ Huh? I see you in the mornin’ This is way too much, I need a moment
No one man should have all that power The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power ‘Til then, f-ck that, the World’s ours
And then they (Go) And then they And then they (Go) And then they (21st century schizoid man)
F-ck SNL and the whole cast Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass More specifically, they can kiss my asshole I’m an asshole? You n-ggas got jokes You short-minded n-ggas’ thoughts is Napoleon My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic He know, he so, f-ckin’ gifted I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts Got treasures in my mind but couldn’t open up my own vault My childlike creativity, purity and honesty Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts Reality is catchin’ up with me Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody With these responsibilities that they entrusted me As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece
N-gga, no one man should have all that power The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power ‘Til then, f-ck that, the World’s ours
And then they (Go) And then they And then they (Go) And then they And then they (Go) And then they (21st century schizoid man)
Colin Powells, Austin Powers Lost in translation with a whole f-ckin’ nation They say I was the obamanation (abomination) of Obama’s nation Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation At the end of day, goddammit, I’m killin’ this sh-t I know damn well y’all feelin’ this sh-t I don’t need yo’ p-ssy, bitch, I’m on my own d-ck I ain’t gotta power trip, who you goin’ home with? How ‘Ye doin’? I’m survivin’ I was drinkin’ earlier, now I’m drivin’ Where the bad bitches, huh? Where ya hidin’? I got the power, make yo’ life so excitin’ (So excitin’)
Now this would be a beautiful death Jumpin’ out the window Lettin’ everything go Lettin’ everything go
N-now-now this would be a beautiful death Jumpin’ out the window Lettin’ everything go Lettin’ everything go
Now this would be a beautiful death Jumpin’ out the window Lettin’ everything go Lettin’ everything go
You got the power to let power go
