Nick Carter - Fight the Power Lyrics

Stay back from the drama and the trauma
Let them find dishonor from their karma
We'll disarm 'em
Until then we'll move along
Until then we'll keep it strong
Our fires from injustice
They'll never see it, no
Stand up for love
Stand up for peace
We gotta right the power
We gotta fight the power
Take a stand and show them all
We gotta right the power
We have to fight the power
No justice
No peace
Until then we'll move along
Until then we'll keep it strong
Our fires from injustice
They'll never see it, no
Stand up for love
Stand up for peace
We gotta right the power
We gotta fight the power
Take a stand and show them all
We gotta right the power
We have to fight the power
Who taught you to hate the color of your skin
Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair
Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose
Or the shape or your lips
Who taught you to hate yourself
From the top of your head
To the soles of your feet
Who taught you to hate their own kind
Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to
So much so that you don't want to be around each other
You know
Before you come asking Mr. Mohamed does he teach hate
You should ask yourself who taught you
To hate being what God made you
And I for one believe that if we were made
Realize, black people ... how they really feel
And how fed up they are
About that old compromising sweet talk
Tell 'em how you feel
Tell 'em how, what kind of hell you've been catching
Let him know his house should catch on fire
And burn down
