What happened is that some of our philosophers got off base
Power to the people
And one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love
And power have usually been contrasted as opposites, polar opposites
Power to the people
Yo, uh, I had a vision me being a future politician
Practicing my policies, pushing patience from opposition
Properly performing from pages, poets to papa's pimping
Poetic paradises, paraphrasing pair of prices
Papa was missing, it paralyzed the path of my vision
Raised by the P's, the pimps, players, pagans and pigeons
And the prostitutes that gave they portions to pimping
Whoever thought this kid would go into politicking
Poor prince from poverty, politicking with politicians
From past pension, the prophets' pamphlets have been written
Prescribed through hieroglyphics, described on Mount Olympus
The power of pure precision, the power of people, listen
Power to the people, my people, power is endless
But power to the wrong people keep the people at limits
Empower people to finish, empowered people will witness
How powerful people are when people's power's expended
Power, power is an acronym that stands for people
Organized and working for economic rebirth
The nice guys don't have any power
You have to recognize that with increasing
Power comes increasing responsibilities
Power at its best is love
I'm from the city of lost prophets, propaganda and COINTELPRO
Purposefully persecuted the Panthers and the Pope
Passionately prominent, dominant, obvious the audience know
Leaders like Huey and Bobby, they told 'em adios
You gotta go, you gotta know I'm taking the same path
Productively pushing people past poverty's past
Per se, we planking at the pit of the slave ship
Promised lies from pilgrims from America's plain shift
Judicial system plaintiffs, the government paint us as anus
Wish we had the same passion to be free as Famous
Polygamist pimps, sister wives, parliament trips
