This is a song about life, death, love, hate, wealth, poverty, racism... just a few things been runnin' through my head... listen... we call on you... listen... now, we call on you... be strong... hear us now... when you speak of overthrowing these conditions i think is what frightens people... the average american, when you simply say the word overthrow, may see this as something very, very bad... i know you're not responsible for his feelings, but, when you say these things, are you threatening someone? ...right now... (people's power) x 3
...detroit in '42... new york in '64... blinding by a hundred watts... the naked, black, white truth... we have to tear down the [(?)] of stupidity and corruption and put up, in it's place, an edifice of truth... unite in struggle for people's power... unite... truth... unite in struggle for people's power... we are a part of those concerned with gangs... meanwhile, uptown, the dj a player... everybody's so concerned about heroin and marijuana and all that, until they forget the most dangerousest [sic] narcotic that exist's, and that's the narcotic that's injected into the minds of infants... it's called social narcotics... so, you know as well as i do that things are changing... change, you know... meanwhile, uptown, the dj a player... revolution... change, you know... so after you youngsters work to change the system... [(?)] ...submission [?] ...the people's power... my guilt makes me...
(change) [x3] it's only a matter of time [x4]
...(change) [x?]
...freedom!... that's all that life is... the record ends and we must begin again...
