Hiiiipower Lyrics - Section 80 - Kendrick Lamar

[Intro] 

Everybody put three fingers in the air 

The sky is falling, the wind is calling 

Stand for something or die in the morning 

Section 80, Hiii Power 

[Verse 1] 

Visions of Martin Luther staring at me 

Malcolm X put a hex on my future, someone catch me 

I'm falling victim to a revolutionary song 

The Serengeti's clone, back to put you backstabbers 

Back on your spinal bone, you slipped your disc 

When I slid you my disc, you wanted to diss but jumped on my dick 

Grown men, never should bite their tongue 

Unless you eatin' pussy that smell like it's a stale plum 

I got my finger on the mothafuckin' pistol 

Aiming it at a pig, Charlotte's web is going to miss you 

My issue isn't televised and you ain't gotta tell the wise 

How to stay on beat, because our life's an instrumental 

This is physical and mental, I won't sugar coat it 

You'd die from diabetes if these other niggas wrote it 

And everything on TV just a figment of imagination 

I don't want plastic nation, dread that like a Haitian 

While you mothafuckas waiting, I be off the slave ship 

Building pyramids, writing my own hieroglyphs

[Hook] 

Just call the shit Hiii Power 

Nigga nothing less than Hiii Power 

Five-star dishes, food for thought bitches 

I mean the shit is, Huey Newton going stupid 

You can't resist his Hiii Power 

Throw your hands up for Hiii Power 

[Verse 2] 

Visions of Martin Luther staring at me 

If I see it how he seen it, that would make my parents happy 

Sorry mama, I can't turn the other cheek 

They wanna knock me off the edge like a fucking widow's peak, uhh 

And she always told me pray for the weak, uhh 

Them demons got me, I ain't prayed in some weeks, uhh 

Dear Lord come save me, the devil's working hard 

He probly clockin' double shifts on all of his jobs 

Frightening, so fucking frightening 

Enough to drive a man insane, I need a license to kill 

I'm standing on the field full of land mines 

Doing the moonwalk, hoping I blow up in time 

Cause 2012 might not be a fucking legend 

Trying to be a fucking legend, the man of mankind 

Who said a black man in the Illuminati 

Last time I check, that was the biggest racist party 

So get up off that slave ship 

Build your own pyramids, write your own hieroglyphs

Just call the shit Hiii Power 

Nigga nothing less than Hiii Power 

Five-star dishes, food for thought bitches 

I mean the shit is, Bobby Seale making meals 

You can't resist his Hiii Power 

Throw your hands up for Hiii Power 

[Bridge: Alori Joh] 

Every day we fight the system, just to make our way 

We been down for too long but that's alright 

We was built to be strong cause it's our life, na-na-na 

Every day we fight the system, we fight the system 

We fight the system (Never like the system) 

We been down for too long but that's alright, na-na-na 

[Verse 3] 

Who said a black man in the Illuminati 

Last time I check, that was the biggest racist party 

Last time I check, we was racing with Marcus Garvey 

On the freeway to Africa 'til I wreck my Audi 

And I want everybody to view my autopsy 

So you can see exactly where the government had shot me 

No conspiracy, my fate is inevitable 

They play musical chairs once I'm on that pedestal 

Frightening, so fucking frightening 

Enough to drive a man insane, a woman insane 

The reason Lauryn Hill don't sing, or Kurt Cobain 

Loaded that clip and then said bang, the drama it bring is crazy 

Product of the late 80s 

Trying to stay above water, that's why we shun the navy 

Pull your guns and play me, let's set it off 

Cause a riot, throw a Molotov, somebody told me them pirates had got lost 

Cause we been off them slave ships 

Got our own pyramids, write our own hieroglyphs 

[Hook] 

Just call the shit Hiii Power 

Yeah nothing less than Hiii Power 

Five-star dishes, food for thought bitches 

I mean the shit is, Fred Hampton on your campus 

You can't resist his Hiii Power 

Throw your hands up for Hiii Power 

[Outro] 

Thug Life, Thug Life!
