I've got a soul That can not sleep At night when something Just
ain't right Blood red But without sight Exploding egos In the
night Mix like sticks Of dynamite Red black or white This is my
fight Come on courage Let's be heard Turn feelings Into
words American equality Has always been sour An attitude I would
like to devour My name is peace This is my hour Can I get Just a
little bit of power
The power of equality Is not yet what it ought to
be (chorus) It fills me up like a hollow tree The power of
equality
Right or wrong My song is strong You don't like it Get
along Say what I want Do what I can Death to the message Of the Ku
Klux Klan I don't buy supremacy Media chief You menance me The
people you say Cause all the crime Wake up motherfucker And smell the
slime Blackest anger Whitest fear Can you hear me Am I clear My
name is peace This is my hour Can I get Just a little bit of
power
(chorus)
I've got tapes I've got c.d.'s I've got my
Public Enemy My lilly white ass Is tickled pink When I listen to the
music That makes me think Not another Motherfuckin' politician Doin'
nothin' but something For his own ambition Never touch The sound we
make Soul sacred love Vows that we take To create straight What is
true Yo he's with me And what I do My name is peace This is my
hour Can I get Just a little bit of power
(chorus)
Madder
than a motherfucker Lick my finger Can't forget 'Cause the memory
lingers Count 'em off quick Little piccadilly sickness Take me to the
hick Eat my thickness I've got a welt From the Bible belt Dealing
with the hand That I've been dealt Sitting in the grip Of a killing
fist Giving up blood Just to exist Rub me wrong And I get
pissed No I can not Get to this People in pain I do not dig
it Change of brain For Mr. Bigot Little brother do you hear me Have
a heart oh come get near me Misery is not my friend But I'll break before
I bend What I see is insanity Whatever happened to humanity
