DANGEROUS DAME - The Powers That Be lyrics

rate me

(Brothers and sisters)

[VERSE 1: Dangerous Dame]

Fight the power, and the power is drugs

Kills the ignorant, sold by thugs

The outcome? A generation is taken

By a pill in the form of Satan

What can we do to stop this madness?

Let's get together so that we can attack this

With our power, the power of speech

Kickin knowledge with rhymes and beats

The first step is to teach the young

To let em know that education is number one

And if you got it, then you're on the right track

But if not, then we might be right back

To the brooms and the towels and the mops

So take a ear to the science that drops

Stop the violence and let's come together

Fight the power, to peace, forever

(Brothers and sisters)

[Rob Base] (Have to fight to get back up)

[VERSE 2: Dangerous Dame]

Fight the power, and the power is sex

But you can never tell what's comin up next

What is it, another type of killer disease

Lose your life for the birds and the bees

Think about it, kinda stupid if you ask me

Use protection, now how hard can that be?

It ain't nothin but a 20 second process

And if you do it, then yo, we might stop this mess

So put a brain in your head and stop playin roulette

Find one love and then you'll be set

In the long run you won't have to fret

Or rather worry about death with sex

Protection or love, one or the other

You die cause of sex you're goin out like a sucker

And I don't think you wanna do that, right?

It won't hurt to be smart and just fight

The power

[VERSE 3: Dangerous Dame]

Peer pressure is a power that most can't deal with

A lotta teenagers might feel this

You got friends and they all like to gangbang

So you wonder should you do the same?

Hold it, think about what you're doin

Risk your life just to hang with the crew, man?

Do what you want but I'm tellin you to think twice

Before you even take a chance with your life

Because a gang ain't nothin but trouble

And no, I'm not tryin to bust yo bubble

I'm tryin to tell you you gotta get stronger

So you can fight and live a little longer

But if you join then hey, do it your way

Cause I've said what I got to say

So think about it for a minute or a hour

You can be a punk or you can fight the power
