Fight The Power Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

Get tough now 

Come away for the S 

The S one W 

Brothers and sisters 

Come away for the S 

The S one W 

On time cause he busta rhymes a hard rhymer 

On time cause he busta rhymes a hard rhymer 

It's the flavor, it's the flavor, it's the flavor 

Life saver 

It's the flavor, it's the flavor, it's the flavor 

Life saver

Get back cause he whacks the tracks terminator 

Get back cause he whacks the tracks terminator 

1989 the number another summer (get down) 

Sound of the funky drummer 

Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul 

(Brothers and sisters, hey) 

Listen if you're missin' y'all 

Swingin' while I'm singin' 

Givin' whatcha gettin' 

Knowin' what I know 

While the Black bands sweatin' 

And the rhythm rhymes rollin' 

Got to give us what we want 

Gotta give us what we need 

Our freedom of speech is freedom or death 

We got to fight the powers that be

Chorus 

Lemme hear you say 

Fight the power 

Lemme hear you say 

Fight the power 

Lemme hear you say 

Fight the power 

Lemme hear you say 

Fight the power 

We've got to fight the powers that be 

As the rhythm designed to bounce 

What counts is that the rhymes 

Designed to fill your mind 

Now that you've realized the prides arrived 

We got to pump the stuff to make us tough 

from the heart 

It's a start, a work of art 

To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange 

People, people we are the same 

No we're not the same 

Cause we don't know the game 

What we need is awareness, we can't get careless 

You say what is this? 

My beloved lets get down to business 

Mental self defensive fitness 

(Yo) bum rush the show 

You gotta go for what you know 

Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be 

Lemme hear you say... 

Fight the Power 

Chorus 

Elvis was a hero to most 

Buddy Elvis was a hero to most 

Buddy Ebsen was a hero to most 

Buddy Rich was a hero to most 

Buddy Hackett was a hero to most 

Nutty Buddy was a hero to most 

But he never meant shit to me you 

See I'm straight up racist that sucker was 

Simple and plain 

____________ and John Wayne 

Cause I'm Black and I'm proud 

I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped 

Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps 

Sample a look back you look and find 

Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check 

Don't worry be happy 

Was a number one jam 

Damn if I say it you can slap me right here 

(Get it) lets get this party started right 

Right on, c'mon 

What we got to say 

Power to the people no delay 

To make everybody see 

In order to fight the powers that be
