[Verse 1 - Kid Pharaoh]
This one's for the people, look
I look and listen at the visions of my people and I hear ‘em
Dream of a better tomorrow, the sorrow has diminished their spiri
They know it's time to change the lives they're living
And the leaders that deceived, no they could never forgive ‘em
I'm with ‘em, they promised something than they did another
Thinking they could get away with the lies they tried to cover
You've been exposed now, there's no one here defending you
Exploiting your own people just to go and chase some revenue
It ended you, the power of the people overcame
The deception of the wicked, see our freedom is no game
We need change, take things into our own hands
Determine our own future, and create our own plans
Corrupt leaders, we don't need ‘em
We're just asking for our freedom
And these people, don't deceive ‘em
Stand by ‘em, don't leave ‘em
Freedom of choice, the freedom of voice
I hope one day we can stand as one and rejoice
[Hook]
Power to the People
No one can defeat you
We gotta come together, gotta let the message reach you
Power to the People
No one can defeat you
Need to unite as one, let the whole world see you
(Rise up, rise up)
Power to the people
(Verse 2 - L-FRESH The LION)
We are more than what you make of us
Wealth is more than what you take from us
This pathway wasn't paved for us
So every step we take is dangerous
Us, who you can you rely on if you can't trust, us
When days are long and your nights are rough
Your intellect is prison, your creativity's in cuffs
The fire in your chest is just waiting to bust
You talk about the struggle? Ha, but we are living it
Telling us to get over it quick is inconsiderate
You really don't give a sh**, so consider this
My people's story goes untold so I became the lyricist
To deliver this, like a strong clenched fist in the sky where possibilities are limitless
They tell us to climb to the top, but the mountain is steep
We're tryna manifest our dreams, but we're living in sleep
[Hook]
