1989 the number another summer (get down) Sound of the funky drummer Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul (Brothers and sisters, hey) Listen if you're missin' y'all Swingin' while I'm singin' Givin' whatcha gettin' Knowin' what I knowin' While the Black bands sweatin' And the rhythm rhymes rollin' Got to give us what we want Gotta give us what we need Our freedom of speech is freedom or death We got to fight the powers that be (faint voice in the background)Let me hear you say Chorus Fight the power Fight the power Fight the power Fight the power Fight the power Fight the power Fight the power Wheve got to Fight the powers that be. As the rhythm designed to bounce What counts is that the rhymes Designed to fill your mind Now that you've realized the prides arrived We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart It's a start, a work of art To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange People, people we are the same No we're not the same Cause we don't know the game What we need is awareness, we can't get careless You say what is this? My beloved, lets get down to business Mental self defensive fitness (Yo) bum rush the show You gotta go for what you know Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be (faint voice in background) Lemme hear you say... Fight the Power Chorus Chorus Elvis was a hero to most(3x) But he never meant, shit to me you see Straight up racist that sucker was Simple and plain Mother fuck him and John Wayne Cause I'm Black and I'm proud I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps Sample a look back you look and find Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check Don't worry be happy Was a number one jam Damn if I say it you can slap me right here (Get it) lets get this party started right Right on, c'mon What we got to say Power to the people no delay Make everybody see In order to fight the powers that be Chorus What we got to say fight the power,cmon(x3) If you find some error in Fight The Power Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Fight The Power The Symbolism for this Antherm of the Impoverished | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/7/2008 This song served as a great instigator of revolution, or in the very least, change in the thought of African Americans. African Americans, and most minorities, continue to be repressed in what we believe to be this great and equal society in America. People needed a battle cry for their cause and this was it. And to the mention that Martin Luther King Jr is already placed in many places, it should also be noted that there are many literary, political , and artistic figures that have been completly ignored and disregaraded for the simple fact that they were of color. Notice that most "American Heroes" are white males...there is a corollation between racial sentiments and adored American figures. THe numbers for those under the poverty lines are also higher amongs minorities than any other race. I want everyone to realize that equality has not yet reached America. Fight the power | Reviewer: The voice of reason | 8/13/2007 You know I always did liked the anti-establishment theme of this song, but I grew up. What for one is Chuck D's proof of Elvis bein a racist, besides taking rock n roll and bringing it in to mainstream white society? On that note whats Falvor Flav's beef with John Wayne? Did he just wnt to shit on an icon of conservitive American value ? Thats going on the foolish assumption that he can think for himself, I'm sure Chuck D told him what to say. By the way Chuck I'm sure that there were plenty of stamps that had featured Dr. Martin Luther King in 1989. Or did you not consider Dr. King a hero since he championed equality and brotherhood as opposed to reverse racisim and contnued racial tensions like you favored at the time and probably stoll do. Was it not Chuck D and Harry Allen who intruduced the masses to that untalented racist cunt Sister Souljah?
