Harry Belafonte (Deluxe Version)

Black

Yea

My people screaming like

What's going on?

Bloody streets

Don't push me

I'm barely holding on

Now it's time for me to fly

I'm a take it

Uh

This got that making of a rebel feel

Lifting up my fists

Don't make a difference

Let the wreckage build

Killing off your systems

Sit with scripts on my director's bill

Peace and power repping till we're victors

I rep the Ville

Villains learn your lesson here

Weapons will draw

But your weapons wield flawed

Vaudeville be a chopper

Your weapons never prosper

Monster, brute

I despise your biased eyes

Tragedy too common

I swear death advises lies

Ha

What's going on, what's going on?

Marvin gone, but I sing the same song

There's something deep inside us

That accounts for why we're strong

They tried to bury us

But we are seeds

They got it wrong

What's going on?

Bloody streets don't push me

I'm barely holding on

Now it's time for me to fly

I'ma take it to the sky

Bring that power back

Ha

You tried to steal my soul from me

Got another thing coming

Bring that power back

Yea

Now I'm busting through that ceiling

Can you dig it?

Got me feeling like I'm Harry Belafonte

Pauly Robey

With my story

Punches throwing at my dome

I be rolling, I be rolling

Got fire in my bones

I can't hold it, I can't hold it

And I'm really 'bout this life

So trust me this ain't just recording

Plotting on how they can shorten my life

Shading my light

No I'm not having that

So now I'm on this journey with drive

And I'm taking my flight

With no more middle passages

Finished with seeing no limits

So can you imagine what status my vantage is

God is the size of my hope

And I'm praying dear Lord

Can you please help me manage it

Young, gifted, and black

That weigh a ton

Nina gone but I sing the same song

Yea, feel that

It's inside that's why we're strong

They tried to bury us

But we are seeds

They got it wrong

What's going on?

Hey

Let's do it right here

Bloody streets don't push me

I'm barely holding on

Now it's time for me to fly

I'ma take it to the sky

We ain't going nowhere

We ain't going nowhere

We ain't going nowhere

We ain't going nowhere

Bring that power back

You tried to steal my soul from me

Another thing's coming

Bring that power back

Ha

Bring that power back

Hey

Hey

Bring that power back

That peace and power back

We need that power back

Ha

Bring that power back

That power back

That power back

Hooo

You never told me

That the road would be easy

I don't believe you brought me

This far so you could leave me

Bring that power back

Hooo

Bring that power back

Ha

You never told me

The road would be easy

I don't believe you would bring me

This far

Bring that power back

Oh, bring that power back
