With vice i hold the mike device 
With force i keep it away of course 
And i'm keepin' you from sleepin' 
And on stage i rage 
And i'm rollin' 
To the poor i pour in on in metaphors 
Not bluffin'  it's nothin' 
That we ain't did before 
We played you stayed 
The points made 
You consider it done 
By the prophets of rage 
(power of the people say) 
I roll with the punches so i survive 
Try to rock 'cause it keeps the crowd alive 
I'm not ballin', i'm just callin' 
But i'm past the days of yes y'allin' 
Wa wiggle round and round 
I pump, you jump up 
Hear my words my verbs 
And get juiced up 
I been around a while 
You can descibe my sound 
Clear the way 
For the prophets of rage 
(power of the people say) 
I rang ya bell 
Can you tell i got feelin' 
Just peace at least 
Cause i want it 
Want it so bad 
That i'm starvin' 
I'm like garvey 
So you can see b 
It's like that, i'm like nat 
Leave me the hell alone 
If you don't think i'm a brother 
Then check the chromosomes 
Then check the stage 
I declare it a new age 
Get down for the prophets of rage 
Keep you from gettin' like this 
You back the track 
You find we're the quotable 
You emulate 
Brothers, sisters thats beautiful 
Follow a path 
Of positivity you go 
Some sing it or rap it 
Or harmonize it through go-go 
Little you know but very 
Seldom i do party jams 
About a plan 
I'm considered the man 
I'm the recordable 
But god made it affordable 
I say it, you play it 
Back in your car or even portable 
Stereo 
Describes my scenario 
Left or right, black or white 
They tell lies in the books 
That you're readin' 
It's knowledge of yourself 
That you're needin' 
Like vescey or prosser 
We have a reason why 
To debate the hate 
That's why we're born to die 
Mandela, cell dweller, thatcher 
You can tell her clear the way for the prophets of rage 
(power of the people you say) 
It's raw and keepin' you on the floor 
Its soul and keepin' you in control 
It's pt. 2 cause i'm 
Pumpin' what you're used to 
Until the whole juice crew 
Gets me in my goose down 
I do the rebel yell 
And i'm the duracell 
Call it plain insane 
Brothers causein' me pain 
When a brothers a victim 
And the sellers a dweller in a cage 
Yo, run the accapella 
(power of the people say)
