Fight The Power, Pt.1 Lyrics - The Isley Brothers

Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah 

Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be 

Got so many voices, saying all the same, yeah, 

Killing up all around me, faces full of pain 

I tried to play my music, they say my music's too loud 

I tried talking about it, I got the big runaround 

And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground 

By all this bullshit going down, hey 

Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah 

Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be 

I don't understand it, people wanna say yeah

Seekin' my satisfaction, keeps me on the run 

I tried to play my music, say my music's too loud 

I tried talking about it, I got the big runaround 

And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground 

By all this bullshit going down, oooh

Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah

Fight it baby, yeah, woo, hey, even you and I can fight the power 

Fight it, fight the power
