The Power
Firebrands Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got the power
I've got the power

Like the crack of the whip I snap attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel rhyme devil
On a heavenly level
Bang the bass turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven to fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James

Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copy-written lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are
Snap!
Don't need the police to try and save them
Your voice will sink
So please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

I've got the power
I've got the power
You've got the power
Who's got the power

Break it down!

Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copy-written lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are
Snap!
Don't need the police to try and save them
Your voice will sink
So please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

I've got the power
I've got the power
You've got the power

Who's got the power

I've got the power
I've got the power





Yeah!
