I've got the power hey yeah heh
Like the crack of the whip I snap attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel rhyme devil
On a heavenly level
Bang the bass turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven to fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah
Gettin' kinda heavy
It's gettin' it's gettin'
it's gettin' kinda heavy
It's gettin' it's gettin'
it's gettin' kinda heavy
It's gettin' it's gettin'
it's gettin' kinda heavy
It's gettin' it's gettin'
it's gettin' kinda heavy
I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
I've got the power oh-oh-oh-oh
I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
I've got the power oh-oh-oh-oh
It's gettin' it's gettin'
it's gettin' kinda hectic
It's gettin' it's gettin'
it's gettin' kinda hectic
It's gettin' it's gettin'
it's gettin' kinda hectic
It's gettin' it's gettin'
it's gettin' kinda hectic
Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics
so they can't be stolen
If they are snap
Don't need the police to try to save them
Your voice will sink so please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
I've got the power oh-oh-oh-oh
I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
I've got the power oh-oh-oh-oh
Like the crack of the whip I snap attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel rhyme devil
On a heavenly level
Bang the bass turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven to fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
I've got the power oh-oh-oh-oh
I've got the power.
