I've got the power
I've got the power
Hey, yeah
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, fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac, winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Quality I possess, some say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they are Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice will cease
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
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
Quality I possess, some say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they are Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice will cease
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
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
The opening lines of the song, "Amerikanskaja firma Tranceptor Technology, Pristupila k proizvodstvu computrov 'Personalny Sputnik'", are actually in Russian and translate to "The American company Tranceptor Technology has begun production of personal computers 'Personal Satellite'." This was likely included as a reference to the rising popularity and accessibility of personal computers in the 1990s when the song was released.
The main body of the song sees the artist asserting their dominance and power through their mastery of the rap genre. The repetition of the line "I've got the power" serves to reinforce this message. The lyrics also include boastful claims about the quality of the artist's lyrics and the uniqueness of their voice. The threat of violence towards those who attempt to steal their lyrics or challenge their authority is another way in which the artist asserts their dominance.
The song also touches on the chaotic and hectic nature of the world, which is reflected in the repeated refrain of "It's getting kinda hectic". This could be interpreted as a nod to the uncertainty and turmoil of the 1990s, which saw significant political and social upheaval around the world.
Overall, "The Power" is a song that celebrates the power and influence of rap music and asserts the dominance of the artist over their competition.

I've got the power
I am in control and have authority
Hey, yeah
Expressing enthusiasm or excitement
Like the crack of the whip, I Snap attack
My rap is quick and impactful
Front to back, in this thing called rap
I am skilled in all aspects of hip-hop
Dig it like a shovel, rhyme devil on a heavenly level
I am digging deep and expressing my artistry with ease
Bang the bass, turn up the treble
My music is loud and booming, with clear highs and lows
Radical mind, day and night all the time
I am constantly revolutionary and innovative with my thoughts
Seven, fourteen wise divine
I am knowledgeable and wise beyond my years
Maniac brainiac, winning the game
I am passionate and intelligent, dominating in my craft
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
I am a clever and cunning artist, known for my wordplay
Quality I possess, some say I'm fresh
I have a unique style and strong artistic ability
When my voice goes through the mesh
My voice is crisp and clear through the microphone
Of the microphone, that I am holding
I am in full control of my performance
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
My lyrics are protected and cannot be taken without permission
If they are Snap, don't need the police
If someone tries to steal from me, I will handle it myself
To try to save them, your voice will cease
My opponents will lose their voice if they try to steal from me
So please, stay off my back
I don't want any trouble from those who try to harm me
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I am not afraid to retaliate to protect myself and my work
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
Things are becoming overwhelming and chaotic

2 Timothy 2:15: Christ is the Key of David, The True Doctrine of God's Holy Word & Spirit = The Seal of God in your forehead [Revelation 7; 9:4].
False teaching is purged: [1 Peter 4:17; Ezekiel 9; Matthew 7:21. The pre-tribulation rapture doctrine is false teaching. 2 Thessalonians 2: Satan comes pretending to be Christ before Christ returns. Don't fall for it. The 5 virgins rejected were beguiled by Satan]; [Mark 13; Luke 21; Matthew 24- the wicked are taken from the field; Christians (the bride of Christ; church) remain working in the field. Christ returns @ the last trump (7th), and not before; 1 Thessalonians 4:17 = 1 Corinthians 15:52 "at the Last trump" = Hebrews 9:26-28 "once in the end;" Christ descends, gathers us unto Himself in the spirit (air) with our ancestors (clouds), and so shall we ever be with the Lord, in Jerusalem (Acts 1:1-11; Zechariah 14:4; John 14-17 = Christ is returning here)]; [Deuteronomy 30:4; Nehemiah 1:9; Isaiah 64:4; Zephaniah 3:8-9; Psalm 37:34; Proverbs 10:30; Matthew 9:37-38; Revelation 6: anti-Christ, not the true Christ. Satan has many roles / offices / horses. Gospel Armor Stand = Wait Upon The LORD, Amen].
Ezekiel 13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

Allah did not forbid music. This is a complete fabrication. There is no such ruling in the Holy Qur'an. Music is a wonderful gift from Allah to people. Those who want to discredit Islam fabricate such lies in the name of the Prophet Muhammad.
Аллах не запрещал музыку. Это полная выдумка. В Священном Коране такого постановления нет. Музыка - прекрасный дар от Аллах. Те, кто хочет дискредитировать ислам, используют имя Пророка Мухаммеда, чтобы сфабриковать такую ложь.
Allah no prohibió la música. Esta es una fabricación completa. No existe tal regla en el Sagrado Corán. La música es un regalo maravilloso de Allah para las personas. Aquellos que quieren desacreditar al Islam inventan tales mentiras en nombre del Profeta Muhammad.
Allah müziği yasaklamamıştır. Bu tamamen uydurmadır. Kutsal Kitabımız Kuranı-Kerim'de Allah'ın böyle bir emri yoktur. Müzik Yüce Allah'ın insanlara lütfettiği güzel bir nimettir. İslam'ı bilerekten gözden düşürmek isteyenler hz.Muhammed Peygamberin adını kullanarak böyle yalanlar uyduruyorlar.
لم يمنع الله الموسيقى. هذا تلفيق كامل. لا يوجد مثل هذا الحكم في القرآن الكريم. الموسيقى هدية رائعة من الله للناس. أولئك الذين يريدون تشويه سمعة الإسلام يختلقون مثل هذه الأكاذيب باسم النبي محمد.
上帝并没有禁止音乐。 这是完全的捏造。 《古兰经》中没有这样的规定。 音乐是上帝赐予的美好礼物。 那些想诋毁伊斯兰教的人以先知穆罕默德的名义编造这样的谎言。
