Power Lyrics

The song Power is performed by Ice-T in the album named Ice-T - Greatest Hits: The Evidence in the year 2000 .

I'm livin' large as possible
Posse unstoppable
Style topical vividly optical
Listen you'll see'em sometimes I'll be'em
Cops critics and punks necer ever wanta see me in power
Well, that's too bad, Apocalypse now, I'm back and I'm mad
We're comin', you're runnin' cold and cunnin'
Ice T on the mic top gunnin'

After your neck checkin' respect makin' you sweat
Rhyme Syndicate boy in effect
The rap motivator teacher talker night rhyme stalker
Words thrillin', so real they're chillin', the hit author
Gettin' louder than a shot gun, you don't want none
Rhyme pays was the name of the album
But that was number one, this is the number two
The posse grew, we're gonna break through

Power

Somebody line up the s*ckers who refuse to recognize the truth
Tie up the punks who refuse to understand the youth
My posse's growin' and it's gettin' larger every day
Detroit, Chi-Town, Pittsburgh, Houston, L.A.
Come on, come on, come on, toys, let's play
Circle the calendar, perpetrator doomsday
Ice T fool man of my own full grown
I 'cause havoc when I speak upon the microphone

I'm outspoken, no jokin', get in my face
Your jaw will get broken
Layin' it, sayin' it, then you're playin' it
Lyrics so heavy that you might try weighin' it
Hated by many but I hate 'em back
Loved by troopers who know where it's at
You might like me, might think I'm wack
But don't step to me 'cause the boy stays strapped

I'm takin' no shorts, hatin' the courts
Hatin' the judges
Punk DA's with their personal grudges
I hate the clubs that think with their butts
No hats, jeans, sneakers, no what?
No beepers, no gold? Yo, kiss my a*s
We'll wait and see who gets the last laugh
We'll have the power

Power
We'll have the Power
Power

Power it starts with 'P' like pus*y
She knows she's got it, she doesn't worry, does she?
Spendin' your cash, leavin' you in the trash
While your little head's thinkin', they're gone in a dash
They got it, know it, that's why they show it
The power of s*x, if man could overthrow it
He'd be king in a day, no way
We get rich, hard, give it away

We're weak and as we speak
The girls are hawkin'
Sizin' me up straight out as I'm talkin'
But you gotta have control if you want the gold
I don't wanta be alone like Stallone
So I keep my mind thinkin' 'bout the green
And stop dwellin' on the in-between
I got the power

Power

I'm on a mission mackin' hard as a hammer
Take my picture, I might take your camera
My posse might move and they move fast
A fool's move could be a punk's last
Ain't no criminal although I used to be
Ain't no new jack rappin' ain't new to me
I been makin' records on wax since 1982
Now it's 1988 finally I'm comin' through

That adds up to six years of makin' okay jams
But now I'm mad, here comes the body slam
Turnin' out concerts, house'n the industry
Lovin' all the fly girls screamin' for Ice T
Rollin' with the Syndicate my unstoppable battalion
38 Solid gold my medallion
Gainin' velocity, momentum and energy
Ice capital T, boy, I got the power

Power

So you say that I'm a fake think, you really must be a fool
I been to jail more times than you have probably been in school
Shot at, shot back, hit and seen my buddies killed
That's the foundation upon the raps of Ice T are built
I say what I think, the system does stink
Money you walk, you short, you're writin' from the klink
Come on, what's up, you know the laws are full of bull
Prey on the lame, release those with pull

Power, I know you wanta try it
Well, check out money can buy it
Control and mold the world to do your wishin'
The knowledge of power is mine
So just listen
Money controls the world and that's it
And once you got it
Then you can talk shit

Power
You have the power
Power
You have the power
I got the power
