Power Lyrics

I've got the power
I've got the power

Hey, yeah

Like the crack of the whip, I Snap attack
Front to back, in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel, rhyme devil on a heavenly level
Bang the bass, turn up the treble
Radical mind, day and night all the time
Seven, fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac, winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Quality I possess, some say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they are Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice will cease
So please, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power

It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic

I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power

It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic

Quality I possess, some say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they are Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice will cease
So please, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
