Power To The People Lyrics - Fear Of A Black Planet - Public Enemy

And you thought the beat slowed down 

Power to the people 

Get on up, get into it, get involved 

Feel the bass as the cut revolves 

To the brothers wit the eight oh eight 

Like I said before PE got a brand new funk 

Turn it up, boom the trunk, yeah 

Internationally known on the microphone 

Makin' sure the brothers will never leave you alone 

To my sisters 

Sisters yes we missed ya 

Let's get it together make a nation 

You can bet on it, don't sleep on it 

'Cause the troops cold jeepin' it pumpin' 

(Power to the people) 

Turn us loose we shall overcome 

They say where you get that bass from 

Hey oh people, people as we continue on 

Come along, sings this song, are you ready for '91 

Rhythm nation pump that bass an 

We like to know from Chicago, New York and LA 

Are y'all ready, cause the plans in the jam 

And we're ready to roll yo y'all got to tell me 

Are y'all read read to go c'mon 

(Power to the people) 

Had to kick it like that as we roll as one 

One under the sun, to all the cities and the side 

Stateside and the whole wide 

There it is 

P-e-a-c-e 1991
