Take The Power Back - Rage Against The Machine
Bring that shit in
Uggh Yeah
the movement's in motion
with mass militant poetry
Now check this out
uggh
In the right light
study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and write
So called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture
the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo we gotta take the power back
Bam Here's the plan
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
Step back I know who I am
Raise up your ear
I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and the
lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back
we gotta take the power back
Come on come on
We gotta take the power back
The present curriculum
I put my fist in em
Eurocentric every last one of em
See right through the red
white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture
the structure of lies
Installed in our minds
and attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
Cause holes in our spirit
causin tears and fears
One sided stories for years
and years and years
I'm inferior
Who's inferior
Yea we need to check the interior
Of the system that
cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back
we gotta take the power back
Come on come on
We gotta take the power back
Hey yo check we're gonna
have to break it
break it break it down
Awww shit

Uggh

like this
uggh Come on yeah
Bring it back the other way
The teacher stands
in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes
don't perceive the lies
Bouning off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit
and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it
gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin weathermen
To expose and close the doors on
those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
Cause the circle of hatred
continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back
Yeah we gotta take the power back
Come on come on
We gotta take the power back

No more lies No more lies
No more lies No more lies
No more lies No more lies
No more lies No more lies
Uggh Yeah
Take it back yall
take it back yall take it back yall
come on
Take it back a take it back
Take it back a take it back
come on
Uggh Yeah
