Powerful Lyrics - Murs

[Verse 1: Murs] 

(Powerful) 

They call me slept on, guess I'm the one they dreaming 'bout 

But when they finally woke, it'll be my name that they'll be screaming out 

Been walking this path since an early age 

Reading books by the Panthers, building up my rage 

At age 14, rest soul on ice 

[?] 

Ice Cube, Brotha Jake and Ice T 

These are the professors that would set my mind free 

Fuck the police to the Easton cop killer 

[?] were my textbooks, sorry it was not thriller 

That pop music was filler, no disrespect to Mike 

But I was fed up and focused, I was ready to fight 

The power 

With Flavor Flav and Carl [?] now emerged my energy with Public Enemy for many hours 

Tours of Babylon that radiate polution 

Are the same ones we'll be using to stream the revolution

[Hook: Murs] 

Facts is facts and the fact is whack is whack 

Nowadays they need to let the rappers rap 

Facts is facts and the fact is trap is trap 

Whip that work, but just let the rappers rap 

Facts is facts, it's a facts that you stackin' racks 

Get your money, but just let the rappers rap 

Rappers act like rappers but they still singing 

Autotune and making music with no meaning 

[Verse 2: Murs] 

I stand for the flag, and stand for my people 

This is not a contradiction, I am not a fan of evil 

Most of these rappers is evil as these politicians 

Flexing on their own folks who ain't even got a pot to piss in 

Still they loving on the bad guy 

Try to be the hero, my people tell me to stand by (Stand by) 

Cause I don't rap about the [?] 

I [?] standing like Diego in this lunacy 

Air go, my Earth go [?], full circle 

And we plant seeds amongst the weeds to make the Earth grow 

Pollocks sprout as I spout this intelligence 

[?] in my aura, my intent is of intelligence 

Radio once meant relevance, now irrelevant 

It's all about the playlist, the playing field is leveling 

If you got better ideas, then I am Edison 

Electrifying and applying true music medicine

Facts is facts and the fact is whack is whack 

Nowadays they need to let the rappers rap 

Facts is facts and the fact is trap is trap 

Whip that work, but just let the rappers rap 

Facts is facts, it's a facts that you stackin' racks 

Get your money, but just let the rappers rap 

Rappers act like rappers but they still singing 

Autotune and making music with no meaning 

[Outro: Propaganda] 

We live in this odd paradox right? 

This juxtaposition of knowing too much and not enough 

I got facts to quote ya, you just don't know when to shut up 

When you can't un-understand 

Know too much to leave it alone and not enough to trust the process of seeing too much 

[?] that builds cultures and chants down tyranny's power 

An empire was powerless, homie how you gon' change the land with one tenth of your man's fanbase 

Facts! 

Am I too smart to be that dumb or too dumb to be that smart 

Lol, nevermind, I'll just rap
