Rage Against the Machine - Take The Power Back(2012)

[00:13.60] Crank the music up!
[00:15.27]
[00:34.27] Bring that shit in! uggh!
[00:44.75] Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry
[00:48.42] Now check this out, uggh!
[00:51.70] In the right light, study becomes insight
[00:55.55] But the system that dissed us
[00:57.01] Teaches us to read and right
[00:57.87] So called facts are fraud
[00:59.41] They want us to allege and pledge
[01:01.26] And bow down to their god
[01:02.68] Lost the culture, the culture lost
[01:04.89] Spun our minds and through time
[01:06.97] Ignorance has taken over
[01:09.41] Yo, we gotta take the power back!
[01:12.04] Bam! Here's the plan
[01:13.71] Motherfuck Uncle Sam
[01:15.31] Step back, I know who I am
[01:16.68] Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
[01:18.90] It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
[01:20.75] The rage is relentless
[01:22.85] We need a movement with a quickness
[01:25.55] You are the witness of change
[01:26.95] And to counteract
[01:28.68] We gotta take the power back
[01:32.72] Yeah, we gotta take the power back
[01:35.02] Come on, come on!
[01:39.63] We gotta take the power back
[01:44.48] The present curriculum
[01:48.83] I put my fist in 'em
[01:50.10] Eurocentric every last one of 'em
[01:52.22] See right through the red, white, and blue disguise
[01:54.23] With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
[01:56.58] Installed in our minds and attempting
[01:58.57] To hold us back
[01:59.55] We've got to take it back
[02:01.09] Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
[02:03.13] One-sided stories for years and years and years
[02:05.87] I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
[02:07.96] Yeah, we need to check the interior
[02:09.95] Of the system that cares about only one culture
[02:12.43] And that is why
[02:13.66] We gotta take the power back
[02:17.14] Yeah, we gotta take the power back
[02:20.30] Come on, come on!
[02:23.96] We gotta take the power back
[02:28.97] Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it
[02:36.61] Break it down
[02:38.68] Awww shit!
[02:46.64]
[03:16.25] And like this, uggh!
[03:21.31] Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!
[03:31.33] The teacher stands in front of the class
[03:33.41] But the lesson plan he can't recall
[03:35.47] The students' eyes don't perceive the lies
[03:37.89] Bouncing off every fucking wall
[03:39.99] His composure is well kept
[03:41.89] I guess he fears playing the fool
[03:44.12] The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
[03:46.93] Bullshit that he learned in school
[03:49.38] Europe ain't my rope to swing on
[03:51.45] Can't learn a thing from it
[03:53.14] Yet we hang from it
[03:53.90] Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
[03:56.19] Like the motherfuckin' Weathermen
[03:57.82] To expose and close the doors on those who try
[04:00.68] To strangle and mangle the truth
[04:02.35] 'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
[04:05.52] We gotta take the power back
[04:08.61] Yeah, we gotta take the power back
[04:12.72] Come on, come on!
[04:16.69] We gotta take the power back
[04:20.84]
[04:45.17] No more lies
[04:48.05] No more lies
[04:50.44] No more lies
[04:52.71] No more lies
[04:55.16] No more lies
[04:57.51] No more lies
[04:59.88] No more lies
[05:02.16] No more lies
[05:04.69] Uggh!
[05:08.24] Yeah!
[05:11.78] Take it back y'all
[05:14.03] Take it back, a-take it back
[05:15.35] A-take it back y'all, come on!
[05:17.56] Take it back y'all
[05:18.72] Take it back, a-take it back
[05:19.85] A-take it back y'all, come on!
[05:21.96] Uggh!
[05:25.43] Yeah!
[05:30.68]
