Kanye West - Power Lyrics

youtube


[Intro]
I’m living in the 21st century
Doing something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music

[Bridge]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power
(21st century schizoid man)

[Verse 1]
The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open
We ain’t got nothing to lose, motherfucker, we rolling
Huh? motherfucker, we rolling
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man’s world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the morning
Huh? I see you in the morning
This is way too much, I need a moment

[Chorus]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power
‘Til then, fuck that, the world’s ours

And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)

[Verse 2]
Fuck SNL and the whole cast
Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass
More specifically, they can kiss my asshole
I’m an asshole? You niggas got jooookes
You short-minded niggas’ thoughts is Napoleon
My furs is Mongolian,
My ice brought the goalies in
Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He know, he so, fucking gifted
I just needed time alone,
with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind
but couldn’t open up my own vault

My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catching up with me
Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece thinking,

[Chorus]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the powder
‘Til then, fuck that, the world’s ours

And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)

[Verse ]
Colin, Powers, Austin, Powers
Lost in translation with a whole fucking nation
They say I was the obamanation (abomination) of Obama’s nation
Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of day, goddammit, I’m killing this shit
I know damn well y’all feeling this shit
I don’t need you're pussy bitch, I’m on my own dick
I ain’t gotta power trip, who you going home with?
How ya doing? I’m surviving
I was drinking earlier, now I’m driving
Where the bad bitches, huh? Where ya hiding?
I got the power, make you're life so exciting (So exciting)

[Outro]
Now this would be a beautiful death
I’m jumping out the window
I’m letting everything go
I’m letting everything go

N-now-now this would be a beautiful death
I’m jumping out the window
I’m letting everything go
I’m letting everything go

Now this would be a beautiful death
I’m jumping out the window
I’m letting everything go
I’m letting everything go

You got the power to let power go
