Power Lyrics

I can't always take you wherever I roam

That's why you seem attached to my hip whenever I'm home

They see the three of us in our zone

A Queen recognize another Queen Bee

My woman knows you and you know she

From the public I have to keep this thing concealed 'cause you live dangerously

(Barrington Levy or Michael Jack)

Bottom heavy and beautifully black

Sweetest thing I saw since turbinado

The Afro Americano

Same color as molasses black strap

I remember when I first laid eyes on you

I was determined to handle that

Some people wouldn't know what to do

She's fearfully and wonderfully made

But I knew that I could show myself approved

Without games and gimmicks

That's for the simpleton

I'm a respectful gentlemen

Approaching without any middle men

Thinking we should be on the same page from the beginning to end

So it's peace with the three of us in the home that we living in

I see how you hold all that power

When you clap, even the strong might cower

Some seem to always mishandle you

But I know and understand the purpose of you

To take and preserve

I see how you hold all that power

When you clap, even the strong might cower

Some seem to always mishandle you

But I know and understand the purpose of you

To take and preserve

I need to treat you like you're undocumented Although you got papers

You'll always be seen as a threat

Even if you don't ever ever have that intent

Some misuse you whenever they get bent

Your purpose is for sustenance and defense

Heads post metal with hate

Too many got it twisted

They use you to intimidate

Latent brains insisted

Many lose their life at a high rate

The systems oriented to leave all of us double fisted

They use you to suppress

I use you to fight from being oppressed

When a life is in distress

You're used to get the pressure off chest

They use it to hunt us like wildlife, I need a vest

And strength to muster

From these trophy head hunters

We facing the same fate as an elephant

Will I ever forget

I promise I can't

I know how to handle you there's no complication

To take and preserve based on the situation

Even with crowd participation

Your work is known in every nation

I see how you hold all that power

When you clap, even the strong might cower

Some seem to always mishandle you

But I know and understand the purpose of you

To take and preserve

I see how you hold all that power

When you clap, even the strong might cower

Some seem to always mishandle you

But I know and understand the purpose of you

To take and preserve

I see how you hold all that power

When you clap, even the strong might cower

Some seem to always mishandle you

But I know and understand the purpose of you

To take and preserve
