When I was thirteen, I had this Huffy bike
Blue with ten speeds but I left it out at night
Guess I trusted people too much the bike was swiped
And my mom told me, learn a lesson- treat the ride right
It was ten years later, and I'm rollin' Corollas
Got the candy on the dash, no locks, but no one stole it
With the twelves in the trunk and holes in the seats
To let the bass inside keep my feet on the beat
With a trunk full of knock, Sprewells outside
Well, Sprecaps, Hubwells - glued to the tires
Sprecap detached and rolled into the yard
With a speed far in excess of that of my car
You know it should be impossible in Newton mechanics
But it happens every day down here in Atlantis
With my wheel on its own independent velocity
Like that, I'm back, daydreaming philosophy, that's power
What's up
Power don't fail me now
Power don't let me down
Power rise up and let me near
Power don't stall when I need ya
Right now I need ya
Let your power rain all over me
Rain all over me
Diamonds kinda shiny but they makin' me laugh
Cuz Zales and Kay they makin' diamonds in labs
And the crazy thing about the ones that cost the most
They got the flaws inside cuz they're not lab grown
It's the same with the beats that really scramble ya brain
Got to swing it kind of loose, let it swerve out the lane
Man full stop Matlock got holes in his socks
But got the kick with the knock to lift up your whole flock
Sit back, relax, let the 808 glide
Syntho memento remember the line
Got the Moog with the saw wave, gluin' it down
Through ya town, windows down, and I'll show you around
Power in the bass, power in the sub
Power to the people, power in love
Power in the word, power in a choice
Power in the flow and power in ya voice Believe it. Listen
Power don't fail me now
Power don't let me down
Power rise up and let me near
Power don't stall when I need ya
Right now I need ya
Let your power rain all over me
Rain all over me
The good and the bad
This joy that I had
Happy or sad
You can't take it away
They give it, they taketh away
The glory, the fame
All in the name of power
Trade up the Corolla for my Camry
Try to save enough to drape the whole thing in candy
Can't be, so I'm hands free, speakers all around me
Brake and make electricity
It's a hybrid, and it's silent, in the driveway
Hundred miles in the gas tank, not the fast lane
HOV if I'm three deep, kids in car seats
Cup holder sticky where the juice leaked
Got the next generation on these gray cassettes
Clean edit bet that my kids educated on the whole set
And that G-town, put their feet down, on that beach ground
Baptized in the Gulf where my soul found
Show 'em how to sparkle when the light's low
Spark in their heart to make the whole night glow
Got to teach 'em how to shine even after I'm gone
Game recognize game now take the baton
You got the power
Power don't fail me now
Power don't let me down
Power rise up and let me near
Power don't stall when I need ya
Right now I need ya
Let your power rain all over me
Rain all over me
