Public Enemy - Power to the People lyrics

And you thought the beat slowed down, c'mon
(Power to the people)

Get on up, get into it, get involved
Feel the bass as the cut revolves
To the brothers wit the 808
Like I said before PE got a brand new funk
Turn it up, boom the trunk, yeah
Internationally known on the microphone
Makin' sure the brothers will
Never leave you alone to my sisters
Sisters yes we missed ya
Let's get it together make a nation
You can bet on it, don't sleep on it
Cause the troops cold jeepin' it pumpin

(Power to the people)

Turn us loose we shall overcome
They say where you get that bass from
Hey ohh people, people as we continue on
Come along, sings this song
Are you ready for '91
Rhythm nation pump that bass an
We like to know from Chicago, New York and LA
Are y'all ready, cause the plans in the jam
And we're ready to roll yo
Y'all got to tell me
Are y'all ready to go c'mon

(Power to the people)

Had to kick it like that as we roll as one
One under the sun
To all the cities and to the side
Brothers and sister stateside and
The whole wide world there it is
P-e-a-c-e 1991
