Power (Explicit)

Power - Ice-T
I'm livin' large as possible
Posse unstoppable
Style topical vividly optical
Listen you'll see'em sometimes I'll be'em
Cops critics and punks necer ever wanta see me in power
Well  that's too bad  Apocalypse now  I'm back and I'm mad
We're comin'  you're runnin' cold and cunnin'
Ice T on the mic top gunnin'
After your neck checkin' respect makin' you sweat
Rhyme Syndicate boy in effect
The rap motivator teacher talker night rhyme stalker
Words thrillin'  so real they're chillin'  the hit author
Gettin' louder than a shot gun  you don't want none
Rhyme pays was the name of the album
But that was number one  this is the number two
The posse grew  we're gonna break through
Power
Somebody line up the suckers who refuse to recognize the truth
Tie up the punks who refuse to understand the youth
My posse's growin' and it's gettin' larger every day
Detroit  Chi-Town  Pittsburgh  Houston  L A
Come on  come on  come on  toys  let's play
Circle the calendar  perpetrator doomsday
Ice T fool man of my own full grown
I 'cause havoc when I speak upon the microphone
I'm outspoken  no jokin'  get in my face
Your jaw will get broken
Layin' it  sayin' it  then you're playin' it
Lyrics so heavy that you might try weighin' it
Hated by many but I hate 'em back
Loved by troopers who know where it's at
You might like me  might think I'm wack
But don't step to me 'cause the boy stays strapped
I'm takin' no shorts  hatin' the courts
Hatin' the judges
Punk DA's with their personal grudges
I hate the clubs that think with their butts
No hats  jeans  sneakers  no what
No beepers  no gold  Yo  kiss my ass
We'll wait and see who gets the last laugh
We'll have the power
Power
We'll have the Power
Power
Power it starts with 'P' like pussy
She knows she's 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'
But you gotta have control if you want the gold
I don't wanta be alone like Stallone
So I keep my mind thinkin' 'bout the green
And stop dwellin' on the in-between
I got the power
Power
I'm on a mission mackin' hard as a hammer
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 comin' through
That adds up to six years of makin' okay jams
But now I'm mad  here comes the body slam
Turnin' out concerts  house'n 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
Power
So you say that I'm a fake think  you really must be a fool
I been to jail more times than you have probably been in school
Shot at  shot back  hit and 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 klink
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 wanta try it
Well  check 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
You have the power
Power
You have the power
I got the power
