Album: Fear of a Black Planet
And you thought the beat slowed down 
Power to the people 
Get on up, get into it, get involved 
										
Feel the bass as the cut revolves 
To the brothers wit the 808 
Like I said before PE got a brand new funk 
Turn it up, boom the trunk, yeah 
Internationally known on the microphone 
Makin' sure the brothers will never leave you alone 
To my sisters 
Sisters yes we missed ya 
Let's get it together make a nation 
You can bet on it, don't sleep on it 
'Cause the troops cold jeepin' it pumpin 
(Power to the people) 
Turn us loose we shall overcome 
They say where you get that bass from 
Hey ohh people, people as we continue on 
Come along, sings this song, are you ready for '91 
Rhythm nation pump that bass an 
We like to know from Chicago, New York and LA 
Are y'all ready, cause the plans in the jam 
And we're ready to roll yo y'all got to tell me 
Are y'all read read to go c'mon 
(Power to the people) 
Had to kick it like that as we roll as one 
One under the sun, to all the cities and the side 
Stateside and the whole wide 
There it is
