Powers
Blackalicious Lyrics

Met her out of town
He met her in a small town he was visiting

In a small cafe
They met in a small café in that town

She had the motion of the ocean
She had a confident way of moving her body

How her hips did sway
Her hips had a way of swaying that was attractive to others

She had everybody lookin' back
She was so attractive that everyone turned to look at her

And everybody tookin' back
Everyone was taken aback by her stunning looks

And anything she wanted all the guys Obeyed
Men would do anything for her because of her beauty

Now she was a site for sore pupils
She was so beautiful it almost hurt to look at her

And she likes to flaunt it cause she knows she got it
She knows she's beautiful and likes to show it off

And she does the most intoxicating things To make a man with worries Feel everything is okay
She knows how to make a man forget his worries and feel at ease

[Chorus] She's got powers
She has a certain control and attraction over others

And I think I want to get in her spell
He wants to experience her powers

Every bone inside me of all my cells
He feels her powers in every cell of his body

She holds you down but when you need a push She keeps it honest
She supports you but is honest when you need a push in the right direction

She reflects Then she'll force you to look
She encourages self-reflection and growth

You dig everything about her From her head down to her follicles
He loves everything about her, even the small details

There's a heaven in her smile
Her smile makes him feel like he's in heaven

She'll steal your heart like a crook
She has a way of taking someone's heart and making them fall in love with her

Now she knows Exactly what you want and when
She is very perceptive and knows what someone wants and when they want it

And she goes To any measures just to see you get it
She will do anything to help someone get what they want

And she flows Like the now
She goes with the flow of the present moment

I think that she was Nephertiti in a life Before this present life was took
He thinks she was an important historical figure in a past life

She got powers P-O-W-E-R-S
She has abilities that make her powerful

Fizz and bubble when I see her yes
He feels excited and bubbly when he sees her

Want to see just how deep her abyss gets
He wants to know more about her and see how complex she is

Lost in the magic of her secret bliss
He is enchanted by her mysterious and enjoyable personality

She is a bonafide keeper just
She is someone worth keeping around

Want to travel inside and seek her depths
He wants to explore her personality further

Mystique so fresh From the west coast to the east coast
Her mysteriousness is captivating and unique no matter where she is

It's a death blow make a Negro get Spun up in her web she don't need no net
Her powers are so strong that she can ensnare someone without needing a trap

People low and behold She knows just What I need make an ego What I need make an ego Fly like an eagle
She knows how to make him feel good about himself and encourages him to soar

Feelin' regal, o b-o-y O she's so fly
She makes him feel like a king and is incredibly attractive

Lethal injection Frozen in my step like deep in breath Keepin'a brethren like me in a head spin
She has a powerful effect on him and he feels overwhelmed

Doc take a rain check She is the medicine
He needs a break to handle his feelings for her, but she is what he needs to feel better

She got some tricks and she got some treats
She has a few surprises up her sleeve

She'll shake the ground underneath you Knock you off your feet
She has a powerful presence that can knock someone off balance

She got everything you dream about Everything you think about
She embodies everything he desires

Hear melodies and sounds of music When she speaks
Her voice is mesmerizing and captivating

She stays persistent with her energy And she plays Those games when its time to play 'em And she ages Like the finest kind of wine
She is consistent and knows when to be serious or playful, and she ages gracefully

Just a whiff of her ferment Will make your knees get weak
Even a small taste of her charm can have a big impact on someone
