Big power

He from a tall tower, then I don’t trust him
I don’t deal with them leaders
Call up the circle, flip the big switches
Make them policies hit ya
Mama say “they look so clean”
But I’m the one who can’t miss it
Get your head up out the news
You know they out to script it
I ain’t never fear a figure
Just give me what you owe
Keep that cold law in they pocket
No, they can’t let it go
If you talk, I bet they spin it
Keep the game swingin like a pendulum
They say that the war drums comin
I hope they don’t pick on us

they like “big power”
I say “big power”
she say “big power”
he say “big power”

they like “big power”
I say “big power”
she say “big power”
he say “big power”

I could give a damn, big power
Keep my people with me
Send my young ones on a mission
They be workin just to live free
They say “why you in the pressure?”
’Cause that’s how we livin
My brothers say “stand on principle”
Just be glad you with me
Free my folks from all them borders
I know y’all ain’t forget me
When it’s time, we start rebuildin
But the rules be different
I don’t even know these rulers
But they in my mentions
I don’t even know these cameras
But they in my business

they like “big power”
I say “big power”
she say “big power”
he say “big power”   

they like “big power”
I say “big power”
she say “big power”
he say “big power”

They shake hands behind the curtains
While the ground keeps split in two
Gold pens sign away the future
Like it’s not belongin to you
They preach peace on every channel
While they stock the fear and flame
Every move dressed up as order
But it’s always the same game
Maps get redrawn on a table
Far from blood, far from cries
They don’t hear the streets collapsing
From their bulletproof skies

they like “big power”
I say “big power”
she say “big power”
he say “big power”

they like “big power”
I say “big power”
she say “big power”
he say “big power”

they like “big power”
I say “big power”
she say “big power”
he say “big power”

they like “big power”
I say “big power”
she say “big power”
he say “big power”
