[chorus: sample(inspectah deck)]
The power of god's in you (show and prove)
The power of god's in you (show and prove)
The power of god's in you (show and prove)
Truethe time has come through
Chose the fewmust show and prove
[intro: inspectah deck *in the the background of the chorus*]
Yeathis is the powertrue power

[inspectah deck]
I once asked God to forgive for my sins
Bent on my knees pleadin to be heavenly cleansed
Said the holy ghost changed the ways and actions of men
When I stoodI felt the same as if I just walked in
I was twelve at the timeheld ninesheld mines
A frail mindcriminal thoughts well-designed
Then the older gods put me onon how to rock this
Maintain360lord and live prosperous
His jewel was pricelesskeep the cypher righteous
Bare in mindgodsome of your own won't like this
I'm mentally scarredrecooperatin from abrasure
Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor
It's in my natureI was taughtthat's the first law
Obtain the foodclothin and the shelter that I search for
The fire in my eyes is hot as earth's core
What hurts morethe fact that we still dirt poor
In hard times force crimes out of honest man
And most fiend to see the so-called promised land
Sun of manknowledgewisdom and understand
That it's time to take matters in our own hands
[chorus]
[inspectah deck]
The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin
I'm facin masses gun on the plantation
Seen source from home yet I'm still caved in
Cuz 9000 miles is such a long way to swim
And many die tryin to survive the next mile
Famillies was raised as slaves and exiled
I learned it as a childknowledge be the key
To unlock your brain and set your mindstate free
It's truethe times come throughchose the few
Show and provethe power of god's in you
Or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness
Who lacks jewelslove and peace completes the package
The fact is five out a hundred know the truth
The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved
[chorus]
[inspectah deck]
Through the course of timewe was dumbdeaf and blind
Now we on the inclinebuild with one mind
Came a long waybutyowe still far behind
Souplift the mindgodrise and shine
I speak to the black-bellied yellow seeds
My fellow breed all racescolors and creeds
Search for the knowledgeuse science and math
And be queens and kings like the centuries past
The devil tried to fool my peoplesaid we was equal
But I believe him when my culture sees freedom
You beat 'em with the positive thoughtsyou don't need em
Leave him in the dirtlet the blood suckers see him
[chorus to fade]
