Rudolph Isley - Fight the Power (Part 1 & 2) lyrics

[Verse 1] Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah Smile is in the makin', we;ve got to fight the powers that be Got so many voices, saying all the same, yeah k**ing up all around me, faces full of pain [Refrain] I tried to play my music, they say my music's too loud I tried talking about it, I got the big runaround And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground By all this bullsh** going down, hey [Verse 2] Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be I don't understand it, people wanna say yeah Those that got the answers, red tape in the way I could tend to it easy, let's just have some fun now, now Seekin' my satisfaction, keeps me on the run [Refrain] [Verse 3] Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be Fight it baby, yeah, woo, hey, even you and I can fight the power Fight it, fight the power (repeat to end)
