The Power of Equality

I've got a soul that cannot sleep

At night when something just ain't right

Blood red but without sight

Exploding egos in the night

Mix like sticks of dynamite

Red, black, or white, this is my fight

Come on courage let's be heard

Turn feelings into words

American equality has always been sour

An attitude I would like to devour

My name is peace, this is my hour

Can I get just a little bit of power?

The power of equality

Is not yet what it ought to be

It fills me up like a hollow tree

The power of equality

Right or wrong my song is strong

You don't like it, get along

Say what I want, do what I can

Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan

I don't buy supremacy

Media chief, you menace me

The people you say cause all the crime

Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime

Blackest anger, whitest fear

Can you hear me, am I clear?

My name is peace, this is my hour

Can I get just a little bit of power?

The power of equality

Is not yet what it ought to be

It fills me up like a hollow tree

The power of equality

I've got tapes, I've got CDs

I've got my Public Enemy

My lily white ass is tickled pink

When I listen to the music that makes me think

Not another motherfuckin' politician

Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition

Never touch the sound we make

Soul sacred love, vows that we take

To create straight what is true

Yo, he's with me and what I do

My name is peace this is my hour

Can I get just a little bit of power?

The power of equality

Is not yet what it ought to be

It fills me up like a hollow tree

The power of equality

Madder than a motherfucker, lick my finger

Can't forget 'cause the memory lingers

Count 'em off quick, little Piccadilly sickness

Take me to the hick, eat my thickness

I've got a welt from the Bible belt

Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt

Sitting in the grip of a killing fist

Giving up blood just to exist

Rub me wrong and I get pissed

No, I can not get to this

People in pain, I do not dig it

Change of brain for Mr. Bigot

Little brother, do you hear me?

Have a heart, oh come get near me

Misery is not my friend

But I'll break before I bend

What I see is insanity

What ever happened to humanity?

What ever happened to humanity?

What ever happened to humanity?
