Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
Everybody put three three fingers in the air
The sky is falling, the wind is calling
Stand for something or die in the morning
Section.80, HiiiPoWeR
[Am][G][F]
[Am][G][F]
[Am][G][F]
[Am][G][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Visi[G]ons of Martin Luther stari[F]ng at me
[Am]Malcolm X put [G]a hex on my future,
[F]someone catch me
[Am]I'm falling victim to a [G]revolutionary [F]song
[Am]The Serengeti's clon[G]e
Back to [F]put you back[Am]stabbers back
on your spinal [G]bone
You slipped your [F]disc when I [Am]slid you my disc
You wanted [G]to diss but jumped on my [F]dick
[Am]Grown men [G]never should bite they tongu[F]e
Unless you [Am]eating pussy
that [G]smell like it's a stale [F]plum
I got my [Am]finger on the mother[G]fucking pistol
[F]Aiming it at a [Am]pig,
Charlotte's Web is [G]gonna miss you
My [F]issue isn't [Am]televised
and you ain't [G]gotta tell the wise
[F]How to stay on [Am]beat
because our life's an [G]instrumental
This is [F]physical and [Am]mental
I won't sugar [G]coat it
You'll die from [F]diabetes
[Am]if these other niggas wr[G]ote it
And every[F]thing on TV
[Am]just a figment of i[G]magination
I don't [F]want a plastic [Am]nation,
dread [G]that like a Haitian
While you [F]motherfuckers

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am](waiting) I be off the slave [F]ship,
[Am]building pyramids,
writing my own hiero[Em]glyphs

[Chorus 1]
[F]Just cal[G]l the shit HiiiPow[Am]er
[F]Nigga, not[G]hing less than HiiiPow[Am]er
Five star dishes, food for thought, [F]bitches
[Am]I mean this shit is Huey Newton going [Em]stupid
[F]You can't resist his[G] HiiiPow[Am]er
[F]Throw your han[G]ds up for HiiiPow[Am]er

[Verse 2]
[Am]Visi[G]ons of Martin Luther stari[F]ng at me
[Am]If I see it how he s[G]een it,
that would make my [F]parents happy
[Am]Sorry, mama, I can[G]'t turn the other cheek[F]
They wanna [Am]knock me off the edge
[G]like a fucking widow's [F]peak, uh
[Am]And she always told [G]me pray
for the [F]weak, uh
[Am]Them demons got me,
I [G]ain't prayed in some [F]weeks, uh
[Am]Dear, Lord, come[G] save me,
the devil's [F]working hard
[Am]He probably clocking doubl[G]e shifts
on all of his jobs
Frightening, so fucking frightening
Enough to drive a man insane
I need a license to [Am]kill
I'm standing [G]on a field full of [F]landmines
[Am]Doing the moon[G]walk hoping I blow [F]up in time
[Am]'Cause 2012[G]
might not be a [F]fucking legend
[Am]Tryna be a fucking [G]legend
The man of [F]mankind
[Am]Who said a black[G] man in the Illumi[F]nati
[Am]Last time I [G]checked,
that was the biggest [F]racist party

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]So get up off that slave ship[F]
Build your [Am]own pyramids,
writing your own hiero[Em]glyphs

[Chorus 2]
[F]Just cal[G]l the shit HiiiPow[Am]er
[F]Nigga, not[G]hing less than HiiiPow[Am]er
Five star dishes, food for thought, [F]bitches
[Am]I mean this shit is, Bobby Seale m[Em]aking meals
[F]You can't resist his[G] HiiiPow[Am]er
[F]Throw your han[G]ds up for HiiiPow[Am]er

[Interlude 1]
[Am]Ever[G]y day we f[F]ight t[Am]he system
[G]just to make our way[F]
We've been [Am]down for too long,
[G]but that's all [F]right
We was [Am]built to be strong
[G]'cause it's our [F]life, na-na-na
[Am]Ever[G]y day we f[F]ight t[Am]he system
[G](we fight the [F]system, we [Am]fight the system)
[G](Never liked the sys[F]tem)
We've been [Am]down for too long,
[G]but that's all [F]right, na-na-na

[Verse 3]
[Am]Who said[G] a black man in Illumi[F]nati
[Am]Last time I [G]checked,
that was the biggest racist party
[Am]Last time I [G]checked,
we was racin' with [F]Marcus Garvey
[Am]On the freeway to Af[G]rica
'til I [F]wrecked my Audi
[Am]And I want every[G]body to view my auto[F]psy
[Am]So you can see exact[G]ly where
the govern[F]ment had shot me
[Am]No conspiracy, m[G]y fate is inevit[F]able
[Am]They played musical chai[G]rs,
once I'm on that [F]pedestal
[Am]Frightening,[G] so fucking frig[F]htening
E[Am]nough to drive a man [G]insane,
a woman in[F]sane
The [Am]reason Lauryn Hill don't [G]sing
or Kurt [F]Co bain
[Am]Loaded that clip and then [G]said bang
The drama it [F]bring is [Am]crazy
Product of [G]the late eighties
Tryna [F]stay above [Am]water,
that's why we [G]shun the Navy
[F]Pull your guns and [Am]play me
Let's set it [G]off, cause a [F]riot, throw a [Am]Molotov
[G]Somebody told me them pirates [F]had got lost

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Am]'Cause we've been off them slave ships[F]
Got our [Am]own pyramids,
write our own hiero[Em]glyphs

[Chorus 3]
[F]Just cal[G]l the shit HiiiPow[Am]er
[F]Yeah, non[G]e less than HiiiPow[Am]er
Five star dishes, food for thought, [F]bitches
[Am]I mean this shit is,
Fred [Em]Hampton on your campus
[F]You can't resist his[G] HiiiPow[Am]er
[F]Throw your han[G]ds up for HiiiPow[Am]er
