Power lyrics

by

Alicia Keys


[Verse 1: Kanye West]
I’m living in that 21st Century, doing 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 ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power
(21st-Century schizoid man)
The system broken, the school is closed, the prison's open
We ain’t got nothing to lose, motherf*cker we rolling
Huh? Motherf*cker we rolling
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I’ll see you in the morning
Huh? I’ll see you in the morning
This is way too much, I need a moment

[Hook: Kanye West]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power
Till then, f*ck that, the world’s ours
And they say, and they say
And they say, and they say
And they say, and they say
(21st-Century schizoid man)

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
f*ck SNL and the whole cast
Tell them Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass
More specifically they can kiss my as*h*le
I’m an as*h*le? You n*ggas got jokes
You short-minded n*ggas thoughts is Napoleon
My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in
And I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He knows, he’s so f*cking 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 crowded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catching up with me
Taking my inner child, I’m fighting for custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my diamond encrusted piece
Thinking

[Hook: Kanye West]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the powder
Till then, f*ck that, the world’s ours
And they say, and they say
And they say, and they say
And they say, and they say
(21st-Century schizoid man)

[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Colin Powells, Austin Powers
Lost in translation with a whole f*cking nation
They say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation
Well that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of the day, god damn it I’m killing this sh*t
I know damn well y’all feeling this sh*t
I don’t need your pus*y, b*tch, I’m on my own di*k
I ain’t gotta power trip, who you going home with?
How 'Ye doing? I’m surviving
I was drinking earlier, now I’m driving
Where the bad b*tches, huh? Where you hiding?
I got the power to make your life so exciting

[Bridge: JAY-Z]
Is this thing on?
Oh, I thought they silenced us, Ye
Power to the people

[Verse 4: JAY-Z]
We living in that 31st century, futuristic fly sh*t
The penthouse is the projects and everybody flies private
New watches (you know what time it is) watch us (you see us)
They can’t stop us, the prophets, biatches!

[Bridge: Kanye West]
Now when I walk in, everybody do the "Power" clap
Clap, clap, clap
Fresh for the club, I just took a half an hour nap
Clap, clap, clap
I seen people go crazy when the whole world in our lap
Clap, clap, clap
My socket was out the plug now it’s time to get the power back
Clap, clap

[Verse 5: Kanye West]
I seen people abuse power, use power, misuse and then lose power
Power to the people at last, it’s a new hour
Now we all ain't gonna be American Idols
But you can least grab a camera, shoot a viral, huh
Take the power in your own hands
I’m a grown man, doing my grown dance
I don’t stop until I see the end, my vision clear, b*tch
I’m on my Van Gogh, I don’t hear sh*t

[Hook: Kanye West & John Legend]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power
'Til then, f*ck that, the world's ours (ey-yeah!)
Oh oh (and they say) yeah-ey (and they say)
Oh oh (and they say) yeah-ey (and they say)
Oh oh (and they say) yeah-ey (and they say)
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (the power)

[Verse 6: Kanye West]
Now everything I’m rhyming on cause a Ramadan
Been a don, praying for the families lost in the storm
Bring our troops back from Iraq, keep our troops out of Iran
So the next couple bars, I’mma drop 'em in Islam
They say "As-salamu alaykum", say "Wa alaikum as-salaam"
That’s no Oscar Mayer bacon, you should run and tell your mom
Now the question is, how we going stop the next Vietnam
Keep Flex out of Korea, cause you know he drop bombs

[Break: Swizz Beatz]
Showtime!
Aiyyo Yeezy, man, stop playing with these people, man
They want see you act all crazy in this motherf*cker, man
Take that jacket off and go crazy on them n*ggas, man
You know what I’m talking about? (I got the power!)

[Verse 7: Kanye West]
What do it mean to be the boss?
It mean second place is the first one who lost
The crucifixion, the being nailed to the cross
Truth or fiction, it’s a hell of a cost
Do the dishes, I’m about to hit that Jeff Gordon
Michael Jordan, the only one more important
But I be feeling like Jordan when I’m recording
Cause every time I record, I dunk and slap the boards
I don’t know what these rappers gonna do afterwards
Prolly spaz like I might do at the awards
Huh, I got the whole crowd going crazy
Homie, I should be rewarded
Gettin' money, Yeezy, Yeezy, how you do it, huh
Eating Wheaties, drinkin' Fiji, being greedy, huh
Don’t even think you can allude to the rumors
I’m immune to the boos, I’ma prove to you losers
It’s all in timing, n*gga
See I dreamed my whole life that I could rhyme with Jigga
Now Jay my big brother and Bey' my lil sister
And excuse me, but you can’t see my lil sister
Number one sound across the board, hey
Number one now and forevermore, hey
Number one rule is n*ggas don’t hate
Maybe I’ll drop the album, nah, y’all gotta wait
And on the net, they showing pictures of my Cali place
My Maybach in NY but it still got the Cali plates
All my old girls know that I’m the one that got away
I think about 'em Christmas and play some Donny Hathaway
And keep my bulletproof-hater coat on
Looking at some photos that I’m looking crazy dope on
Hand up, talking sh*t, yeah, I get my Pope on
And go home with something to poke on
That’s what Dre said, but this what 'Ye said
How 'Ye doing? Who 'Ye screwin?
That’s for my di*k to know, before you get to know him
She ain’t give you ass, that pus*y fictional
I gotta give her the eviction no-
-tice, "Get yo’ ass out, b*tch, vamonos"
Five seconds to the song and we getting close
I got the power, motherf*cker, if you didn’t know

[Outro: Kanye West & Dwele]
Now this will be a beautiful death
I’m jumping out the window, I’m letting everything go
I’m letting everything go
Now this will be a beautiful death
I’m jumping out the window, I’m letting everything go
I’m letting everything go
Now this will be a beautiful death
I’m jumping out the window, I’m letting everything go
Letting everything go
You got the power to let power go?
(21st-Century schizoid man)
