The New Power Generation - The Exodus Has Begun lyrics

Have mercy, uh The exodus has begun (The exodus has begun!) Have mercy, uh The exodus has begun Now these are the names of the New Power Generation (These are the names) The funkiest s**ers of the new gold nation Polyvinyl acetate, New Power Soul Guaranteed 2 stick 2 the roof of your Oldsmobile muthaf**ka CHORUS: Long live the New Power! Have mercy Generation after generation, the soul will never die (The exodus has begun) Long live the New Power! Have mercy We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply Polyvinyl acetate, New Power Soul (Mercy) The exodus has begun These are the names of the children of the sun Pumpin' the love sign in the days of wild Tearin' sh** up with a vengeance and still they smile (Still they smile) Though their lives were made bitter with hard labor and no pay These are the children that will come 2 save the day (These are the children) The exodus has begun Have mercy CHORUS La da da da, da da daaa (U ain't gonna hurt me) Sho do do do do doo (Have mercy) La da da da, da da daaa (U ain't gonna hurt me) Have mercy (Behold) Behold the children of the New Power Are more and mightier than U (Mighty, mighty) U that have scorned and held back the inevitable Must now come 2 grips with the truth (All that is good in the eyes of heaven) All that is good in the eyes of heaven Will rebuke your powder monkey ways (Have mercy, mercy, mercy) And let that same heaven have mercy When the wrath of the sun knocks upon your gate Have mercy The exodus has begun (New... New Power!) Uh, brothers and sisters (Stop me if U want, it's between U and me) The exodus has begun Uh (New Power!) Just.. Just cause.. Just cause it's.. (Have mercy) Just cause it's nasty.. Just cause it's nasty it don't.. Just cause it's nasty it don't mean.. Just cause it's nasty it don't mean a.. {loop} Just cause it's nasty it don't mean a thing All that is good is nasty All that is good, all that is good (Have mercy) All that is good in heaven (The exodus has begun) All that is good, all that is good (Have mercy) All that is good in heaven (The exodus has begun) Long live the New Power! (Long live) Have mercy Generation after generation, the soul will never die The exodus has begun Long live the New Power! (Long live) Have mercy (Live a little while) We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply Spatch co*ks in black face offer us pennies (Offer us pennies) When it's millions and millions upon millions they reap (When it's millions, when it's millions) (Pluck his eye again!) How in the world can we call ourselves equal When their wages outweigh When their wages outweigh the time that they keep? (Pluck his eye again!) And if they stood up and behaved like the humans they're supposed 2 As opposed 2 the way they are not Then this New Power Soul would not be so soulful (Then this New Power Soul would not be soulful) And the water they're in would not be so hot (And the water would not be so hot) The exodus has begun (The exodus has begun!) Have mercy Uh (The exodus has begun!) The exodus has begun Now sing Long live the New Power! (Long live a New Power where all that is good in heaven) Brothers and sisters Long live the New Power! (The exodus has begun!) (Have mercy!) (Long live a New Power where, where... mercy!) Come on (The exodus has begun!) Uh (Long live) Have mercy Play muthaf**kas (The exodus has begun!) Uh (New Power) Have mercy (Long live the New Power!) Yes muthaf**kas, yes The exodus has begun! (Generation after generation, the soul will never die) Have mercy (Long live the New Power!)

Tell'em U don't tell a lie Bald-headed son of a motherf**kin' housefly And like George said (What?) Get satisfied Let's get satisfied, let's get satisfied (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...)
