[Chorus]
Power✦
We'll have the power✦
Power✦
[Verse 3]
Power,✦ it starts with P like pussy✦
She knows she 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 sex, 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'✦
You gotta✦ have control✦ if you want the gold
I don't wanna✦ be alone✦ like Stallone
So I keep my mind thinkin'✦ 'bout the green
And stop dwellin' on the in-between, I got power✦
[Chorus]
Power✦
[Verse 4]
I'm on a mission✦ mackin'✦ hard as a hammer✦
You 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 coming✦ through
That adds up to six years of makin'✦ okay✦ jams, but now I'm mad
Here comes✦ the body✦ slam
Turnin'✦ out concerts, housin'✦ 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✦
[Chorus]
Power✦
[Verse 5]
So you say that I'm a fake, think, you really✦ must be a fool
I been in jail more times✦ than you have probably been in school
Shot at, shot back, hit, 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 clink
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 wanna✦ try it
Well, check it 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✦
[Chorus]
You'll have the power✦
Power✦
You'll have the power✦
I got the power✦
