Power
The Clipse Feat Neptunes Lyrics

Yeah, you think you got the power
You believe you have control or influence, but I beg to differ.

You ain't got the power
You do not have the control or influence you believe you have.

You don't tell me that it's okay
You do not have the authority to give permission or approval.

I tell you that it's okay
I am the one with the power to give permission or approval.

You don't got the power
You lack the control or influence you believe you have.

You don't have the power bitch, what
You are not in control, no matter how much you try to assert yourself.

Everybody freeze, do what I say, do as I please
I am giving orders and expect them to be followed.

Commander every ship I steer, follow my lead
I am in charge and everyone should follow my guidance.

Y'all runnin' out of time, cause Terror runnin' out of speed
You are running out of time, because my partner is quickly approaching.

When I slow, blow up, guarantee makin' you bleed
If I decide to slow down, it will result in violence and injury.

This ain't about needs, it's all about greed
This isn't about necessities, it's about selfish wants.

And showin' niggas who got the power drop to your knees
I'm demonstrating my authority - everyone must submit.

These bitches errand boys frontin' like they pushin' keys
These individuals are pretending to wield power, but they're just running errands and acting as intermediaries.

When I catch 'em, bless 'em, start mumma-makin' they reeds
When I catch them, I'll rain down destruction on them.

Because I won't stop firin', till I hear that siren
I am relentless and will continue shooting until I hear the sound of police approaching.

See your blood trickle, or hear your baby cryin'
You will face extreme violence, and witness the harm done to loved ones.

Sick of niggas lyin', actin' like they tryin'
I'm tired of people lying and pretending to be something they're not.

To be kamakazi, when they scared of dyin'
They're pretending to be fearless and daring, but are actually afraid of death.

No alibi, I got the power no one will testify
I have absolute control, and no one will testify against me.

Take this lead shower and the black flour where you left to die, ooh
I will shoot you repeatedly and leave you to die.

Still life is so soothin', it hurts to see you movin'
I find it calming when you stop moving.

So I counteract, take a step back and start shootin'
I will react with violence and shoot back.

Terror hit a hollow-tooth frame, you and your dame
Terror has hit and injured you and your partner.

So when he wind blows, your bodies whistle likes cranes
When the wind blows over your dead bodies, it will sound like the whistle of cranes.

Call me by celebrity name, I readily aim
Refer to me by my famous nickname - I'm ready to shoot.

And hit you in your chest, now your shirt redily stained
I will shoot you in the chest, and your shirt will be stained with blood.

If there's one I didn't gun down, believe he'll be run down
If there's anyone I haven't killed yet, I'll catch them eventually.

Because I'm killin' every nigga from, sun up to sun down
I'm committing murders all day long.

Finish them, all adversaries diminishin'
I will end them all, and my opponents will gradually weaken.

And I'll flee the country before I plead guilty or innocent
I'll run away before being judged, leaving my crimes unaccounted for.

When I say down, nigga lay down, nigga stay
When I give an order, you are to immediately comply and remain still.

So y'all think that you can run with us
You believe that you can compete with us.

Nigga, is your ones big enough, comin' in the sums big enough
Do you have the money and resources to take us on?

When it's time to go to war, is your guns big enough
Do you have powerful enough weapons for the fight ahead?

Or are you minor league, shit, I call your bluff
You are not a real competitor - I'm calling your bluff.

You got tough talk, but your walk, feminine
You talk a big game, but your actions are weak and lack confidence.

We startin' out wit' full clips, then empty 'em
We're starting with full ammunition, and firing until it's all gone.

From a pair of still siamese twins, that cripple men
We are like conjoined twins - inseparable, and crippling our opponents.

We can handle this like outlaws to gentlemen
We can resolve this violently, or civilly.

And I die for the love of the dough's my sentiment
I'm willing to risk death for the sake of money.

But for now, we be invading your block and tenament
For now, we're taking control of your neighborhood.

Opposite end of a glock gun, power, you ain't got none
I hold the power, and the opposite end of my gun is where you stand.

Comply wit' every word that I say, your only option
Your only choice is to follow my every command.

And by full right, send your ass in full flight
By every right, I have the power to chase you down and attack.

Running over niggas like stampedes in bullfights
I'll knock down and overpower anyone in my way.

Power in our relationship, oh so intimate
I hold the power in our connection, and it's a deep and personal connection.

Our love is limitless, we caress and deep kiss
We are deeply committed to our pursuit of money.

Money's my only bitch so I get the stash out
Money is my primary focus, and I will do whatever is necessary to get it.

Got me whipped on this shit, eat her and lick the ass out
Money has me hooked, and I'll do anything for it - even demeaning acts.

We gon' live like it ain't no tomorrow in this shit
We'll live recklessly and dangerously because we don't expect to live very long.

I'm going to wallow in it yeah, got her swallowin' my shit
I'll indulge in my love of money, and have it serve me.

Have wax and flames on her, whips and chains on her
We'll subject our pursuit of money to all manner of pain and danger.

Malice and Terror, Neptunes, runnin' trains on her
We, along with our music group, will join forces to dominate our pursuit.

My niggas all blunt it, with stacks and four-hundreds
My companions are similarly wealthy and carry their wealth with them.

With no remorses, our money got blood on it
We have no feelings of regret, even though money has been earned through violence.
