The Power of Equality
[00:10.13] I've got a soul that cannot sleep
[00:15.97] At night when something just ain't right
[00:18.64] Blood red but without sight
[00:20.77] Exploding egos in the night
[00:22.10] Mix like sticks of dynamite
[00:25.02] Red black or white, this is my fight
[00:27.41] Come on courage, let's be heard
[00:29.82] Turn feelings into words
[00:32.21] American equality has always been sour
[00:34.60] An attitude, I would like to devour
[00:36.99] My name is peace, this is my hour
[00:39.11] Can I get just a little bit of power
[00:41.77] The power of equality
[00:46.28] Is not yet what it ought to be
[00:51.60] It fills me up like a hollow tree
[00:55.85] The power of equality
[01:09.39] Right or wrong, my song is strong
[01:12.31] You don't like it, get along
[01:14.44] Say what I want, do what I can
[01:16.56] Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan
[01:18.96] I don't buy supremacy
[01:20.83] Media chief, you menace me
[01:23.51] The people you say 'cause all the crime
[01:25.89] Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime
[01:28.28] Blackest anger, whitest fear
[01:30.67] Can you hear me, am I clear
[01:32.80] My name is peace, this is my hour
[01:34.94] Can I get just a little bit of power
[01:37.86] The power of equality
[01:43.17] Is not yet what it ought to be
[01:47.69] It fills me up like a hollow tree
[01:52.21] The power of equality
[02:15.31] Well, I've got tapes, I've got CD's
[02:17.97] I've got my Public Enemy
[02:20.10] My Lilly white ass is tickled pink
[02:22.22] When I listen to the music that makes me think
[02:24.90] Not another, motherfuckin' politician
[02:27.28] Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition
[02:29.68] I never touch the sound we make
[02:31.80] Soul sacred love, vows that we take
[02:34.19] To create straight what is true
[02:36.58] Yo, he's with me and what I do
[02:38.70] My name is peace, this is my hour
[02:40.83] Can I get just a little bit of power
[02:43.75] The power of equality
[02:48.53] Is not yet what it ought to be
[02:53.58] It fills me up like a hollow tree
[02:57.83] The power of equality
[03:11.65] Madder than a motherfucker, lick my finger
[03:14.30] Can't forget 'cause the memory lingers
[03:16.96] Count 'em off quick, little Piccadilly sickness
[03:19.35] Take me to the hick, eat my thickness
[03:21.20] I've got a welt from the Bible belt
[03:23.63] Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt
[03:26.02] Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
[03:28.42] Giving up blood just to exist
[03:30.81] Rub me wrong and I get pissed
[03:33.21] No I cannot, get to this
[03:35.86] People in pain, I do not dig it
[03:37.72] Change of brain for Mr.Bigot
[03:40.38] Little brother do you hear me
[03:47.29] Have a heart oh come get near me
[03:49.68] Misery is not my friend
[03:51.53] But I'll break before I bend
[03:53.66] What I see is insanity
[03:56.05] What ever happened to humanity
[03:58.71] What ever happened to humanity
[04:00.83] What ever happened to humanity
