The Isley Brothers - Fight The Power (Part 1 & 2) lyrics

Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah Smile is in the makin', we 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 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 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 naw, naw Seekin' my satisfaction, keeps me on the run I tried to play my music, 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, oooh 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
