lyrics

Sorry not sorry
Pardon this army
Young Seige the new Marcus Garvey
Blacker the berry, sweeter juice uh
Darker the skin the tighter the noose
Truth prevails
Once they make hating a crime, go to jail
Nigga might save your life, post your bail
Church full of evil guys, holy hell
I’ma young voodoo child, know the spell

They don’t want you to win, want you to win
People dying in the streets all due to skin
Science says Africa’s the birthplace of man
Guess that means we really all niggas in the end
You see innocence, I see inner sin
Sick of asking, we bout to start blasting
Sick of waiting we bout to start taking
We occupy the spot and leave that mother fucker vacant

Fight the Power
Ignite the Towers
Yo night is ours just Fight the Power
We gotta fight the powers that be
Just Fight the Power
Ignite the Towers
We got riot for hours
Just Fight the Power
We gotta fight the powers that be

I done lost a lot of friends and some next of kin
Everybody mean well till the checks come in
Known to get rowdy, I’m black and proud
I hit like good weed, you just black and mild
I put a spell on you
I aint never been a damn foo
She wanna see my damn voodoo
My potion made her friend come too
I’ve always known the best crooks to wear suits and ties
Niggas hungry for the truth but consuming lies
Even heroes die, even killers cry
In every peaceful mind there’s a war inside
It’s fuck up how the world has destroyed our pride
You gotta take out a loan just to take a chick home
And by the time she finally let yo ass inside
You find out that pussy aint worth a dime

Fight the Power
Ignite the Towers
Yo night is ours just Fight the Power
We gotta fight the powers that be
Just Fight the Power
Ignite the Towers
We got riot for hours
Just Fight the Power
We gotta fight the powers that be

Why can't a black man go to college, who said white folks control the knowledge
why I gotta have dough huh? why I always gotta stunt, why can't I be myself round these hoes huh?
why I gotta rock a fade like the rest of yall fuck them Jays why I gotta look my best for yall?
why I gotta act nice, I don't eff wit yall, girl all I want is the sex, what we textin for?
The Seige keepin it real, why act? Why I only listen to rap music just cause I'm black
why I can't like rock? why I gotta sell rocks, why can't I try stocks huh?
why I walk into a store and they don't treat me right? is it cause my nose big they don't treat me white?
why I turn into a killer if I'm seen at night? 90s kids but we know what them 60s like
why can't Taz be a part of the upper class? why I only gotta like girls for tits and ass?
why I gotta carry guns just to kill my race, but do nothing to the cops that will beat my face
why I gotta look in the mirror and hate myself and take drugs to the head till I ain't myself?
why my pops ain't around? why there ain't no men? and why am I expected to grow up and be like him?
Hey yo,

Fight the Power
Ignite the Towers
Yo night is ours just Fight the Power
We gotta fight the powers that be
Just Fight the Power
Ignite the Towers
We got riot for hours
Just Fight the Power
We gotta fight the powers that be
