Power

Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010)

I'm livin' in the 21st century

Doin' something mean to it

Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it

Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it



I guess every superhero need his own theme music

No one man should have all that power

The clock's tickin', I just count the hours

Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power

(21st century schizoid man)



The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open

We ain't got nothin' to lose, ma'fucka, we
rollin'

Huh? Ma'fucka, we rollin'

With some light skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands



In this white man world, we the ones chosen

So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin'

Huh? I see you in the mornin'

This is way too much, I need a moment



No one man should have all that power

The clock's tickin', I just count the hours

Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power

'Til then, fuck that, the world's ours



And then they

And then they

And then they

And then they

(21st century schizoid man)



Fuck SNL and the whole cast

Tell 'em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass

More specifically, they can kiss my asshole

I'm an asshole? You niggas got jugs



You short minded niggas' thoughts is Napoleon

My furs is Mongolian, my ice, brought the Dodies in

Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic

He know, he so, fuckin' gifted



I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts

Got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own
vault

My childlike creativity, purity and honesty

Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts



Reality is catchin' up with me

Takin' my inner child, I'm fighting for it, custody

With these responsibilities that they entrusted me

As I look down at my diamond encrusted piece



Nigga, no one man should have all that power

The clock's tickin', I just count the hours

Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power

'Til then, fuck that, the world's ours



And then they

And then they

And then they



And then they

And then they

And then they

(21st century schizoid man)



Holy, powers, Austin, Powers

Lost in translation with a whole fuckin' nation

They say I was the obamanation of Obama's nation

Well, that's a pretty bad way to start the conversation

At the end of day, goddammit, I'm killin' this shit



I know damn well y'all feelin' this shit

I don't need yo' pussy, bitch, I'm on my own dick

I ain't gotta power trip, who you goin' home with?

How 'Ye doin'? I'm survivin'



I was drinkin' earlier, now I'm drivin'

Where the bad bitches, huh? Where ya hidin'?

I got the power, make yo' life so excitin'

(So excitin')



Now this'll be a beautiful death

Jumpin' out the window

Lettin' everything go

Lettin' everything go



Now this'll be a beautiful death

Jumpin' out the window

Lettin' everything go

Lettin' everything go



Now this'll be a beautiful death

Jumpin' out the window

Lettin' everything go

Lettin' everything go



Now this'll be a beautiful death

Jumpin' out the window

Lettin' everything go

Lettin' everything go



You got the power to let power come
