[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
They sell fear in a clean white suit
Facts get buried in a lie so smooth
Blue on the screen, red in the vein
Feed you a story, then they hide the chain
Mouth full of smoke, hands in the pie
Truth get twisted every time they lie
Old names talking like they own the sky
But the cost keep climbing, and the kids still cry
Paper trails folded in a velvet room
Small-town pain in a corporate tune
Count every loss, then they change the math
Smile for the cam while they clear the path
[Pre-Chorus]
You can see it in the cracks
You can hear it in the news
They want your head down low
They want your hands tied too
[Chorus]
Fight the power, fight the power
Break that chain, break that tower
Fight the power, fight the power
We been hurt too long, too long (too long)
Fight the power, fight the power
Say it loud, make it louder
Fight the power, fight the power
They been killing us slow, slow
[Verse 2]
Every headline dressed like a threat
Every promise soaked in debt
They point left, then they point right
Keep us divided every night
Cash in the palm, blood on the deal
Call it peace when the wound won’t heal
Old machine with a brand-new face
Still moving poison through the same place
I seen moms with the light still dim
I seen boys get swallowed in the rims
Of that wheel they spin for the crowd
Till the whole damn block stop making a sound
[Pre-Chorus]
You can see it in the cracks
You can hear it in the news
They want your head down low
They want your hands tied too
[Chorus]
Fight the power, fight the power
Break that chain, break that tower
Fight the power, fight the power
We been hurt too long, too long (too long)
Fight the power, fight the power
Say it loud, make it louder
Fight the power, fight the power
They been killing us slow, slow
[Bridge]
No more blindfold, no more praise
No more trading truth for chains
If they built it, we can break
If they stole it, we can take
[Final Chorus]
Fight the power, fight the power
Break that chain, break that tower
Fight the power, fight the power
We been hurt too long, too long (too long)
Fight the power, fight the power
Say it loud, make it louder
Fight the power, fight the power
They been killing us slow, slow
[Outro]
Yeah
We see it now
We see it now
