Degrees Down Dekalb

Power, it's all power
We move, we strut, it's all about power
Going through the day, it's all around me
Leading a double life disguised as normalcy
Power, power, power, it's all about power
Capital voyeurs think this is their hour
Inbreeding politicians with saccharine slander
All they want is power, got no ethos or candor

You can twiddle the dial, but it won't stay
We do not create, we just document what we see
Over the river the red's so bright it burns
The smell of tar water and a dream cut short
It's a derelict world where we live in our absence
Tumultuous chaos, yet so utterly stagnant
Williamsburg woman harassing me at my counter
You do not deserve it but you know your

Power, power, power, blue boogies everywhere
Power, power, power, alkie preps with no care
They only worry about the flies
Don't give a fuck about the world outside
Just cuz they got to college doesn't mean they're smart
We got several centuries head start
It's quite evident power's all around
Differing degrees down DeKalb

Power, power, power, flying flags for subjugation
Power, power, power, why don't you die for your nation?
Followed by ignorance, but led with intention
The root of discomfort, call it to attention
Which one of us is allowed to speak?
Which one of us is allowed to breathe?
You can't deny power's all around
