Fight the Power, Pts. 1 & 2 - The Isley Brothers

Time is truly wastin'

There's no guarantee

Smile's in the makin'

You gotta fight the powers that be

Got so many forces

Stayin' on the scene

Givin' up all around me

Faces full a' pain

I can't play my music

They say my music's too loud

I kept talkin about it

I got the big run around

When I rolled with the punches

I got knocked on the ground

With all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'

There's no guarantee

Smile's in the makin'

You gotta fight the powers that be

I don't understand it

People wanna see, ya

Those that got the answers

Red tape in the way

I could take you in easy

That's just half the fun, oh boy

Seeking satisfaction

Keeps me on the run

I can't play my music

They say my music's too loud

I kept talkin about it

I got the big run around

When I rolled with the punches

I got knocked on the ground

With all this bullshit going down

Time is truly wastin'

There's no guarantee

Smile's in the makin'

You gotta fight the powers that be

If you & I can - we got the power

Fight it, got the power fight it... baby, baby

Fight it, fight the power
