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
Nella luce giusta, lo studio diventa intuizione
But the system that dissed us
Ma il sistema che ci ha disprezzato
Teaches us to read and right
Ci insegna a leggere e scrivere
So called facts are fraud
I cosiddetti fatti sono frodi
They want us to allege and pledge
Vogliono che noi alleggiamo e giuriamo
And bow down to their God
E ci inchiniamo al loro Dio
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Abbiamo perso la cultura, la cultura è perduta
Spun our minds and through time
Hanno manipolato le nostre menti e nel tempo
Ignorance has taken over
L'ignoranza ha preso il sopravvento
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Ehi, dobbiamo riprendere il potere!
Bam! Here's the plan
Bam! Ecco il piano
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
Maledetto zio Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Faccio un passo indietro, so chi sono
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
Alza l'orecchio, farò cadere lo stile e chiarirò
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
Sono i ritmi e i testi che temono
The rage is relentless
La rabbia è implacabile
We need a movement with a quickness
Abbiamo bisogno di un movimento con rapidità
You are the witness of change
Sei il testimone del cambiamento
And to counteract
E per contrastare
We gotta take the power back
Dobbiamo riprendere il potere
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Sì, dobbiamo riprendere il potere
Come on, come on!
Andiamo, andiamo!
We gotta take the power back
Dobbiamo riprendere il potere
The present curriculum
Il curriculum attuale
I put my fist in 'em
Ci infilo il pugno
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
Eurocentrico, ognuno di loro
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
Vedo attraverso la maschera rosso, bianco e blu
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Con lezione perforo la struttura delle bugie
Installed in our minds and attempting
Installate nelle nostre menti e che tentano
To hold us back
Di tenerci indietro
We've got to take it back
Dobbiamo riprenderlo
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
Buchi nel nostro spirito causano lacrime e paure
One-sided stories for years and years and years
Storie a senso unico per anni e anni e anni
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Sono inferiore? Chi è inferiore?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Sì, dobbiamo controllare l'interno
Of the system that cares about only one culture
Del sistema che si preoccupa solo di una cultura
And that is why
Ed è per questo
We gotta take the power back
Dobbiamo riprendere il potere
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Sì, dobbiamo riprendere il potere
Come on, come on!
Andiamo, andiamo!
We gotta take the power back
Dobbiamo riprendere il potere
Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it,
Ehi ascolta, dovremo romperlo, romperlo,
break it down
romperlo
Aw shit!
Oh merda!
Ugh!
Ugh!
And like this Ugh!
E così Ugh!
Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!
Andiamo, sì! Riportiamolo all'altro modo!
The teacher stands in front of the class
L'insegnante sta di fronte alla classe
But the lesson plan he can't recall
Ma non ricorda il piano della lezione
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Gli occhi degli studenti non percepiscono le bugie
Bouncing off every fucking wall
Che rimbalzano su ogni maledetto muro
His composure is well kept
La sua compostezza è ben mantenuta
I guess he fears playing the fool
Immagino che abbia paura di fare il buffone
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Gli studenti compiacenti siedono e ascoltano un po' di quella
Bullshit that he learned in school
Stronzata che ha imparato a scuola
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
L'Europa non è la mia corda su cui dondolare
Can't learn a thing from it
Non posso imparare nulla da essa
Yet we hang from it
Eppure ci appendiamo ad essa
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Dobbiamo prenderlo, dobbiamo metterci insieme allora
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
Come i maledetti meteorologi
To expose and close the doors on those who try
Per esporre e chiudere le porte a coloro che cercano
To strangle and mangle the truth
Di strangolare e sminuire la verità
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
Perché il cerchio dell'odio continua a meno che non reagiamo
We gotta take the power back
Dobbiamo riprendere il potere
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Sì, dobbiamo riprendere il potere
Come on, come on!
Andiamo, andiamo!
We gotta take the power back
Dobbiamo riprendere il potere
No more lies
Niente più bugie

Riprendiamolo, riprendiamolo
A-take it back y'all, come on!
Riprendiamolo ragazzi, andiamo!
Ugh!
Ugh!
Yeah!

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
