Jay-z - POWER (Megamix) lyrics

[Intro: Jay-Z] Is this thing on? Oh, I thought they silenced us, Ye Power to the people We living in that 31st century, futuristic fly sh** The penthouse is the projects and everybody flies private New watches; you know what time it is, watch us They can't stop us, the prophets, b*atches! [Hook: Kanye West] No one man should have all that power The clock's ticking, I just count the hours Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power (No one man should have all that power) [Verse 1: Jay-Z] Rumble, young man, rumble Life is a trip, so sometimes we gonna stumble You gotta go through pain in order to become you But once the world numbs you, you'll feel like it's only one you Now you got the power to do anything you want to Until you ask yourself, "Is this what it's all come to?" Looking at life through sungla**es and a sunroof But do you have the power to get out from up under you f** all these labels, f** what everybody wants from you They're trying to Axl Rose you, welcome to the jungle To be continued, we on that Norman Mailer sh** In search of the truth even if it goes through Taylor Swift Tell her this [Hook] [Verse 2: Kanye West] The system broken, the school is closed, the prison's open We ain't got nothing to lose, motherf**er we rolling Huh? Motherf**er we rolling With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands In this white man world, we the ones chosen So goodnight, cruel world, I'll see you in the morning Huh? I'll see you in the morning This is way too much, I need a moment [Hook] No one man should have all that power The clock's ticking, I just count the hours Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power Till then, f** that, the world's ours And they say (21st-Century schizoid man) [Verse 3: Kanye West] f** SNL and the whole cast Tell them Yeezy said they can kiss my whole a** More specifically they can kiss my a**hole I'm an a**hole? You n***as got jokes You short-minded n***as thoughts is Napoleon My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in And I embody every characteristic of the egotistic He knows, he's so f**ing gifted I just needed time alone with my own thoughts Got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own vault My childlike creativity, purity and honesty Is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts Reality is catching up with me Taking my inner child, I'm fighting for custody With these responsibilities that they entrusted me As I look down at my diamond encrusted piece Thinking [Hook] No one man should have all that power The clock's ticking, I just count the hours Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the powder Till then, f** that, the world's ours And they say (21st-Century schizoid man) [Verse 4: Kanye West] Now when I walk in, everybody do the "Power" clap Clap, clap, clap Fresh for the club, I just took a half an hour nap Clap, clap, clap I seen people go crazy when the whole world in our lap Clap, clap, clap My socket was out the plug, now it's time to get the power back Clap, clap I seen people abuse power, use power, misuse and then lose power Power to the people at last, it's a new hour Now we all ain't going be American Idols But you can least grab a camera, shoot a viral, huh Take the power in your own hands I'm a grown man, doing my grown dance I don't stop until I see the end, my vision clear, b**h I'm on my Van Gogh, I don't hear sh** [Hook] [Verse 5: Kanye West] The brown hero, live from Ground Zero Machine gun flow, made of ghetto Ross Perot And this is disestablishmen-tarianism With my night goggles on, yeah, military vision And it's still a very Christian way to think about livin' When you prayin' for freedom 'cause your mind been in prison ‘Cause they tryin' to control every single big decision You ain't effin' the system, then why the eff is you livin'? Look, dawg, you can cop whatever suits you on Three-piece, cuff links and the accoutrements They been feedin' us ish without the nutrients So I'm back with another hit to let the truth be known And your boy still fresh with the Gucci on Them Italians sure know how to make what the moulies want And they really can't take what dude be on But I be on the same thing 'til you prove me wrong [Hook] [Verse 6: Kanye West] Colin Powells, Austin Powers Lost in translation with a whole f**ing nation They say I was the abomination of Obama's nation Well that's a pretty bad way to start the conversation At the end of the day, god damn it I'm k**ing this sh** I know damn well y'all feeling this sh** I don't need your p**y, b**h, I'm on my own dick I ain't gotta power trip, who you going home with?
