Ive got a soul that can not sleep.
At night when something just aint right
Blood red, but without sight
Exploding egos in the night
Mix like sticks of dynamite
Red black or white, this is my fight
Come on courage, lets be heard
Turn feelings into words
American equality has always been sour
An attitude I would like to devour
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power
The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality
Right or wrong, my song is strong
You dont like it, get along
Say what I want, do what I can
Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan
I dont buy supremacy
Media chief, you menance me
The people you say cause all the crime
Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime
Blackest anger, whitest fear
Can you hear me, am I clear
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power
The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality
Ive got tapes
Ive got c.d.s
Ive got my Public Enemy
My lilly white ass is tickled pink
When I listen to the music that makes me think
Not another motherfuckin politician
Doin nothin but something for his own ambition
Never touch the sound we make
Soul sacred love, vows that we take
To create straight what is true
Yo hes with me and what I do
My name is peace, this my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power
The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality
Madder than a motherfucker, lick my finger
Cant forget, cause the memory lingers
Count em off quick, little piccadilly sickness
Take me to the hick, eat my thickness
Ive got a welt from the Bible belt
Dealing with the hand that Ive been dealt
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
Giving up blood just to exist
Rub me wrong and I get pissed
No I can not get to this
People in pain, I do not dig it
Change of brain for Mr. Bigot
Little brother do you hear me
Have a heart oh come get near me
Misery is not my friend
But Ill break before I bend
What I see is insanity
Whatever happened to humanity
