Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz, Ayo, Dro, turn me up, bro, yeah, uh,
This my victory lap, on my Nipsey, perhaps
When niggas say that they the best, all I see is blue caps, that shit funny to me, y'all
The bums of the league, since a juvenile, the flow been 400 degrees, only here to dissect
This is Hannibal Lect, I'm murderous with hooks, farewell to your flesh, farewell to your neck
Consider this a threat, niggas say they want all the smoke, but they chew Nicorette , call
Me Gentleman Jack, the smoothest nigga you ever saw, only rock J's and colorways that
The wave that Christ walk, uh, I'm a demigod, battling oligarchs, them rabid dogs, who reside
In Satan's synagogue, original vultures of the culture, you know they been the frauds, when they die
Its no remorse, my eyes dryer than menopause,
You better duck and fucking hide,
Cuz them demigods outside,
You better duck and fucking hide,
Cuz them demigods out side,
You better duck and fucking hide,
Cuz them demigods outside,
You better duck and fucking hide,
Cuz them demigods out side
Yo, Fuck all you damn hecklers, don't get too fucking reckless, get hunted like a pheasant
Pluck your feathers, make a headdress, get on my pow-wow shit, the shaman's too eclectic
Electric brain dance, you little bitch, I'm too advanced, isolation of yo isotopes
The portal's open, space and time is broken, you approaching, not knowing I'm an entity
Eyes glowing, black energy, omnipotent infinity, I ain't going I'll, crushing dreams, steady
Flowing it vividly, this that dark woods wizardry, I be casting when rapping, laughing
Dragging port, executing my thoughts, no retort, nah, don't you dare do it, that's stupid
Like a human versus a mutant, your inferior genetics is what make your ass useless
Vendetta for power, don't you dare do it, that shit is foolish, motherfucker,
You better duck and fucking hide,
Cuz them demigods outside,
You better duck and fucking hide,
Cuz them demigods out side,
You better duck and fucking hide,
Cuz them demigods outside,
You better duck and fucking hide,
Cuz them demigods out side
The lyrics to C.F. Bundy's song Power in 2-3 depict the struggle of maintaining personal power and dignity in the face of oppression and dehumanization. The singer is warning the listener not to mistake their polite mannerisms for warmth, as they have been betrayed before by those they trusted. They have been made a fool and disgraced by giving trust where it was not earned, and being trapped in a reflective state where the reflection is distorted and inescapable.
The singer then goes on to describe how they have learned from their experiences, some of which have destroyed parts of them, making them feel shame and give up their pride. However, they also recognize that each brick thrown through the window can be stacked to create a barrier against the anger and resentment they feel inside. The repetition of 'Shame on you' is both a condemnation of the past wrongs done to them and a reminder to themselves that they will not allow themselves to be subjected to such humiliation again.
The song ends with the singer encouraging the listener to seek solace and strength through resistance, to find power through peace instead of remorse. This could be interpreted as a call to action, urging listeners to resist the forces that seek to dehumanize them and instead seek empowerment and peace in their struggle.
Line by Line Meaning
Do not mistake me for warm embrace
I am not here to be friendly, do not confuse my intentions
If I can't see your hands, I can't distinguish your face
If I cannot trust you, I cannot recognize you
I have then made a fool
I have acted foolishly
I have then disgraced
I have brought shame upon myself
I've been trapped in the mirror
I have been caught up in my own self-image
Where there is no escape
And I cannot find a way to break free
Through years I've learned lessons
Over time, I have gained knowledge from my experiences
And through some I have died
And some of those experiences have felt like they killed me inside
I was made to feel shame
I have been made to feel guilty and embarrassed
Made to give up my pride
Forced to sacrifice my self-respect
But each brick through the window
Despite that, each obstacle I face can build me up
Can be stacked very high
Can accumulate and boost me up higher
Can restrain the red anger
Instead of anger, I can choose restraint
And resentment inside
And suppress any lingering resentment
Shame on you
You are the one who should feel ashamed
Instead of remorse
Rather than feeling bad for myself
Be it solace that you seek
I will find comfort in the knowledge that you were wrong
Be it strength through resistance
I will gain greater strength by resisting your wrongdoing
Power through peace
I can achieve true power through inner peace and forgiveness
