Power
Unveiling the Potent Dynamics of Modern Authority
Lyrics
I'm living' in that 21st century
I am living in the 21st century.
Doing something mean to it
I am doing something impactful to it.
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
I excel at it more than anyone you have ever witnessed.
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
The negative reactions from critics sound pleasing or satisfying.
I guess every superhero need his theme music
Every superhero requires their own theme music.
No one man should have all that power
No individual should possess such overwhelming power.
The clock's ticking', I just count the hours
Time is passing, and I am simply measuring the hours.
Stop tripping', I'm tripping' off the power
Don't worry excessively; I am affected or influenced by the power.

The system broken, the school's closed, the prisons open
The societal structure is flawed, education is disrupted, and prisons are open.
We ain't got nothing' to lose, but you know that we rolling
We have nothing to lose, but we are moving forward with determination.
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands

So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin'
Saying goodbye to the harsh world, anticipating a new morning.
Huh? I'll see you in the mornin'
Reiterating the expectation of seeing the world again in the morning.
No one man should have all that power
Reiterating the idea that no one person should wield excessive power.
The clock's tickin', I just count the hours
Time is running out, and I am still counting the hours.
Stop trippin' I'm trippin' off the power
Reassuring that the impact of power is being managed, not to worry.
