Fight The Power

[00:01.48] Yet our best trained, best educated, best equipped
[00:05.20] Best prepared troops refuse to fight
[00:08.91] As a matter of fact, it's safe to say that they would rather switch
[00:11.85]
[00:14.91] Than fight
[00:18.95]
[00:44.62] 1989 the number another summer (get down)
[00:49.19] Sound of the funky drummer
[00:50.56] Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul
[00:52.92] (Brothers and sisters, hey)
[00:54.63] Listen if you're missing y'all
[00:56.25] Swinging while I'm singing
[00:58.00] Giving whatcha getting
[00:59.31] Knowing what I know
[01:00.44] While the Black bands sweating
[01:02.30] And the rhythm rhymes rolling
[01:03.74] Got to give us what we want
[01:05.82] Gotta give us what we need

[01:30.65] As the rhythm designed to bounce
[01:32.14] What counts is that the rhymes
[01:33.69] Designed to fill your mind
[01:35.24] Now that you've realized the pride's arrived
[01:37.31] We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
[01:39.59] From the heart
[01:40.25] It's a start, a work of art
[01:41.62] To revolutionize make a change nothing's strange
[01:44.52] People, people we are the same
[01:46.64] No we're not the same
[01:47.58] 'Cause we don't know the game
[01:49.04] What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
[01:51.88] You say what is this?

[01:56.34] Mental self defensive fitness
