They don't stand in our way - way

Overall Meaning

In the song "The Power," Will.I.Am and Justin Bieber are discussing the concept of power and survival. The lyrics, "Talk back, talk back with 'em" and "with your full rebound," suggest the idea of standing up for oneself and bouncing back from any negativity. The line, "I ain't nothing with such cautious time" could mean that being too careful may prevent someone from taking risks and achieving their goals.


The buzzards mentioned in the song could represent negative people who may bring others down, but ultimately, their influence means nothing if one doesn't survive. The repeated question, "Do I need power? Do you need power?" may be a deeper reflection on the importance of power in society and whether it is truly necessary for survival. Overall, the song explores the complex relationship between power, survival, and one's personal journey.
