Take the Power Back
TIMOTHY COMMERFORD, THOMAS B. MORELLO, ZACK M. DE LA ROCHA, BRAD J. WILK
In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and right
So called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Bam! Here's the plan
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back
The present curriculum
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back
Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it,
break it down
Aw shit!
Ugh!
And like this Ugh!
Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!
The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouncing off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back
No more lies
Ugh!
Yeah!
Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!
Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!
Ugh!
Yeah!
In the right light, study becomes insight
Im richtigen Licht wird Studium zur Einsicht
But the system that dissed us
Aber das System, das uns verachtet
Teaches us to read and right
Lehrt uns zu lesen und zu schreiben
So called facts are fraud
Sogenannte Fakten sind Betrug
They want us to allege and pledge
Sie wollen, dass wir behaupten und schwören
And bow down to their God
Und uns vor ihrem Gott verneigen
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Verloren die Kultur, die Kultur verloren
Spun our minds and through time
Verdrehten unsere Gedanken und durch die Zeit
Ignorance has taken over
Hat die Unwissenheit übernommen
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Yo, wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen!
Bam! Here's the plan
Bam! Hier ist der Plan
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
Verdammt sei Onkel Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Tritt zurück, ich weiß wer ich bin
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
Hebt euer Ohr, ich werde den Stil und klar fallen lassen
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
Es sind die Beats und die Texte, die sie fürchten
The rage is relentless
Die Wut ist unerbittlich
We need a movement with a quickness
Wir brauchen eine Bewegung mit Schnelligkeit
You are the witness of change
Du bist der Zeuge des Wandels
And to counteract
Und um zu kontern
We gotta take the power back
Wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Ja, wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen
Come on, come on!
Los, los!
We gotta take the power back
Wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen
The present curriculum
Der gegenwärtige Lehrplan
I put my fist in 'em
Ich stecke meine Faust in sie
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
Eurozentrisch jeder einzelne von ihnen
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
Sehe durch die rot, weiß und blaue Tarnung
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Mit Vorlesung durchlöchere ich die Struktur der Lügen
Installed in our minds and attempting
In unseren Köpfen installiert und versucht
To hold us back
Uns zurückzuhalten
We've got to take it back
Wir müssen es zurücknehmen
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
Löcher in unserem Geist verursachen Tränen und Ängste
One-sided stories for years and years and years
Einseitige Geschichten seit Jahren und Jahren und Jahren
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Ich bin minderwertig? Wer ist minderwertig?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Ja, wir müssen das Innere überprüfen
Of the system that cares about only one culture
Des Systems, das sich nur um eine Kultur kümmert
And that is why
Und deshalb
We gotta take the power back
Wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Ja, wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen
Come on, come on!
Los, los!
We gotta take the power back
Wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen
Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it,
Hey yo check, wir müssen es brechen, brechen,
break it down
brechen es runter
Aw shit!
Oh Scheiße!
Ugh!
Ugh!
And like this Ugh!
Und so Ugh!
Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!
Los, ja! Bring es auf die andere Art zurück!
The teacher stands in front of the class
Der Lehrer steht vor der Klasse
But the lesson plan he can't recall
Aber den Unterrichtsplan kann er sich nicht erinnern
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Die Augen der Schüler erkennen die Lügen nicht
Bouncing off every fucking wall
Die von jeder verdammten Wand abprallen
His composure is well kept
Seine Fassung ist gut bewahrt
I guess he fears playing the fool
Ich denke, er hat Angst, den Narren zu spielen
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Die gleichgültigen Schüler sitzen und hören etwas von dem
Bullshit that he learned in school
Bullshit, den er in der Schule gelernt hat
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Europa ist nicht mein Seil zum Schwingen
Can't learn a thing from it
Kann nichts davon lernen
Yet we hang from it
Und doch hängen wir daran
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Müssen es bekommen, müssen es zusammenbekommen dann
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
Wie die verdammten Wetterleute
To expose and close the doors on those who try
Um aufzudecken und die Türen zu schließen auf die, die versuchen
To strangle and mangle the truth
Die Wahrheit zu erwürgen und zu verstümmeln
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
Denn der Kreis des Hasses geht weiter, es sei denn, wir reagieren
We gotta take the power back
Wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Ja, wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen
Come on, come on!
Los, los!
We gotta take the power back
Wir müssen die Macht zurücknehmen

Mundur, aku tahu siapa aku
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
Angkat telingamu, aku akan menjatuhkan gaya dan jelas
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
Ini adalah irama dan lirik yang mereka takuti
The rage is relentless
Amarahnya tak kenal henti
We need a movement with a quickness

You are the witness of change
Kamu adalah saksi perubahan
And to counteract
Dan untuk melawan

I put my fist in 'em

See right through the red, white and blue disguise
Melihat langsung melalui penyamaran merah, putih dan biru

Installed in our minds and attempting
Terpasang di pikiran kita dan mencoba
To hold us back

Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
Lubang di jiwa kita menyebabkan air mata dan ketakutan
One-sided stories for years and years and years
Cerita sepihak selama bertahun-tahun dan bertahun-tahun dan bertahun-tahun
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Aku rendah? Siapa yang rendah?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Ya, kita perlu memeriksa bagian dalam
Of the system that cares about only one culture

And that is why

Bouncing off every fucking wall
Memantul dari setiap dinding sialan
His composure is well kept
Penampilannya terjaga dengan baik
I guess he fears playing the fool
Aku rasa dia takut menjadi bodoh
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Siswa yang acuh tak acuh duduk dan mendengarkan beberapa
Bullshit that he learned in school
Omong kosong yang dia pelajari di sekolah
Europe ain't my rope to swing on

Can't learn a thing from it
Tidak bisa belajar apa-apa darinya
Yet we hang from it
Namun kita tergantung darinya
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Harus mendapatkannya, harus mendapatkannya bersama-sama
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
Seperti cuaca sialan
To expose and close the doors on those who try
Untuk mengungkap dan menutup pintu bagi mereka yang mencoba
To strangle and mangle the truth
Untuk mencekik dan merusak kebenaran
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
Karena lingkaran kebencian terus berlanjut kecuali kita bereaksi
We gotta take the power back
Kita harus mengambil kembali kekuatan
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Ya, kita harus mengambil kembali kekuatan
Come on, come on!
Ayo, ayo!
We gotta take the power back
Kita harus mengambil kembali kekuatan
