Lyrics: Franz Von/Tom Excell
Music: Franz Von/Tom Excell/Mark Stoney
Memba seh nobody nuh owe you nuttn'
So yuh affi stand up strong
Inner stregnth
Yuh affi hustle,
Build up yuh yard king a di castle,
Been a bit lost but now you're back up
Been in a war
since beginning you born
Sick belligerent talk
Go figure this system is flawed,
Consider it rigged with no regards
for people skin colour customs or culture,
elite few hold the cards
See through that cold facade
Reach deep you'll see it's all mirage
You got the power to do
You got the power to choose,
You got the power to use
People the power be you
Seems like it's back to when they were hanging us
now it's murders on cameras
candidly captured by amateurs,
Even the youth dem a watch it
Imagine the damages
Mental scars they be managing
Schools report that their behaviour is challenging,
Channelling constant graphic images squabbling
conditioning damaging,
Predispositioned to be treated unequal for skin colour melanin
Discover the relevant means to rebel against
bring change stay ahead of em'
You got the power to do
You got the power to choose,
You got the power to use
People the power be you
People the power be you
People the power be you..
You got the power to do
You got the power to choose,
You got the power to use
People the power be you
Freedom mind manifest
Feeding the mind and the flesh
Feed every child
each one teach one yes
See that the guidance bless
We be divine..
Feelin the vibe in the chest
Feelin survive every test
Feelin alive be the best
Free to decide
Freedom we die for it yes
Spirit they be calling us back
Stimulate thoughts in a flash
Reciprocate calling em back
No talk not an audible act
Spiritual orderly chant
Giving in to it fall in a trance
Energy lord of the dance
Wid the world in the palm of your hands
You got the power to do
You got the power to choose,
You got the power to use
People the power be you
People the power be you
People the power be you..
You got the power to do
You got the power to choose,
You got the power to use
People the power be you
All of the people dem rise again
All in the mix in this live event
Rebels and survivalist rise up
Ya'll know what time it is
Civil disobedience stand up
so they know that we serious
Organise strategise mobilise
Look now how they be fearing us
They don't really want us to be free
Better if we struggling asleep
Juggling the money just to eat
Bow down to the law the police
And we dun wid talk
Man a war wid the beast
No love for the people
The twisted elite
Had enough
Now power to the people fo real
You got the power to do
You got the power to choose,
You got the power to use
People the power be you
People the power be you
People the power be you.
