Power
G. P-Orridge & White Stains Lyrics

Ooh, I'm high off the power
Feeling an intense rush and excitement from having control or influence over situations

Ooh, she gone off the powder
She is under the influence of a powdered drug

Ooh, she want it up louder
She desires the music to be played at a higher volume

Will it go to my head?
Am I at risk of becoming overly arrogant or conceited due to my success?

I'm Percin', takin' Henny to the head
I am consuming Percocet and Hennessy to numb myself to reality

Keep a model in my bed
I maintain a relationship with an attractive partner for the purpose of boosting my status and ego

She want to fuck, I'd rather get bossed up instead
My priority is making money and advancing my power, rather than physical pleasure

And since '06 I been stuck to this bread like it's numbers on my hand
I have been focused on making money since 2006, and it has become engrained in me like tattoos on my hands

I can't get it off me
My obsession with wealth and power is deeply ingrained and difficult to shake off

I'm too damn saucy, your girlfriend boss me
I exude a confident and influential aura, even your girlfriend is drawn to my power

Coulda bought a house with what that new whip cost me
The amount of money I spent on my new car could have been used to purchase a house

To do it this big, man, the job is exhaustin'
Achieving and maintaining this level of power and wealth is a tiring and demanding task

Be careful, this is not for everyone
Having power and influence is not meant for everyone, as it can be a dangerous and corrupting force

Off the medicine, goin' hella dumb
I am under the influence of drugs and acting foolishly and recklessly

My bitch got replaced when I found a better one
I easily discard people and relationships when they no longer serve my interests or do not benefit my power

I'm straight to the point, I just go and get 'er done
I am determined and direct in achieving my goals, without wasting time or resources

I pull up, lookin' like the Dark Knight
I arrive in a dramatic and intimidating manner, resembling a fictional character known for their power and strength

I'm dipped in Off-White, I'm probably off white
I am dressed in designer clothing, and my current state of intoxication affects my behavior and demeanor

It's Heem in my system, we party all night
I have consumed a powerful substance called 'Heem,' and as a result, I am partying vigorously throughout the night

It's M's in my bank, my grandkids be alright
I have amassed a large amount of money, which will secure the financial future of my family for generations to come

First Summer Jam I did I had to hop in the crowd
During my first performance at a popular music festival, I jumped off the stage and joined the audience in a display of my power and influence over the crowd

I'm power hungry, I'm addicted, ain't no stoppin' me now
I crave and seek more power and influence, and nothing can prevent me from achieving it

Bay-Area president, and they didn't have to elect you
I hold significant power and influence in the Bay Area, without the need for an official election or appointment

Come second, fake ass niggas be half ass steppin'
Those who do not possess true power and influence are often unreliable and uncommitted

G tapped me like "Nef, you want to do a verse?"
G reached out to me to collaborate and contribute lyrics to a song

"What's the topic?" He said "Power," hey, man, church
The theme and subject of the song is about power and its meaning and impact

P-Lo on the beat, bass hit 'em where it hurts
P-Lo produced the music for the song, and the bass in the song resonates deeply and forcefully with the audience

Any obstacle they said I couldn't do, I conquered
I have overcome all challenges and obstacles that were once seen as impossible to accomplish

Shoutout to the sponsors, keep me looking fresh at concerts
I acknowledge and appreciate the brands and companies that provide me with sponsorships and resources to maintain a polished and professional image at concerts and events

Sick with it, monster, my presence is an honor
I possess exceptional skill and influence, and my presence is highly valued and respected

Motherfuck your honor, free my real niggas that's locked up
I do not respect the legal system or authority figures, and I demand the release of incarcerated individuals whom I consider to be true and trustworthy

I invest in stocks now, I done got my guap up
I have diversified my income earning strategy, and am now investing in stocks which have increased my wealth significantly

I admit that I'm power hot
I acknowledge and admit that I possess an extreme and unmatched level of power and influence

Slap the Benz in power drive
I am driving my powerful and expensive Mercedes Benz in a manner that showcases its capabilities and status

You don't got no power 'cause your pussy dry
You lack power and influence because you are unattractive or unappealing to me

When I was dead broke, you ain't even say "Hi"
When I was poor and powerless, you did not acknowledge or respect me, and now that I am successful, you seek to benefit from my power and status

I'm on the road to riches, and I got power steering
I am on track to acquire immense wealth, and my journey is smooth and effortless with the aid of my power and influence

There's nobody like me, you can stop comparin'
I am uniquely powerful and influential, there are no comparisons or competitors

I don't gotta say it twice, you got perfect hearing
My commands and directives do not require repetition, as those around me accurately comprehend and obey without delay

Spendin' cash all day, I skrt skrt McLaren (yeah)
I am spending my wealth extravagantly, and driving a very expensive McLaren sports car

And that's a quarter million on four wheels
My McLaren costs $250,000, affirming my financial power and status

If you the best alive, then it means I'm on your heels
If you are considered the most successful or skilled, I am following close behind and will soon surpass you

Before the year's over, I'm closing out more deals
I am finalizing additional business deals and agreements to further increase my wealth and influence

I been through it all, man, I tell you how war feels
I have experienced and overcome many struggles and obstacles, and am able to provide insight and advice on those challenges

Top's the only place for me, that's where I live at
I am solely focused on reaching the top and maintaining my position of power, that is where I find my sense of fulfillment and purpose

And your flow is garbage, like "damn, what is that?"
Your style and approach are inferior and unimpressive, and they do not compare to my skill and influence

You're supposed to take over, oh, I must have missed that
You were expected to achieve significant power and influence, but it appears that it did not happen or has gone unnoticed

A bitch with no money is what I really get pissed at
I am angered and frustrated by individuals who lack influence and wealth, particularly those who seek to benefit from my power without contributing anything of value

Young legends from the Bay, it's a powerful trio
I, along with G and P-Lo, are young but influential and respected individuals from the Bay Area music scene

Swear the pyramid building is the size of my ego
My ego and sense of power and influence are extremely large, comparable to the size of a pyramid building

Young rockstars like I lived the life of a Beatle
We possess power and influence comparable to that of legendary rock musicians like The Beatles

Yeah, Young Gerald, Neffy and P-Lo
Referring to musician G-Eazy, musician Nef the Pharaoh, and producer P-Lo as a powerful collective

Yeah, yeah, I'm high off the power
A repeated acknowledgment and affirmation of the extreme rush and excitement from possessing power and influence
