Power From Above

  "We want music and we will not give up the fight /We will not give up the fight" {x3}  Hey, oh! /
All stand and raise your hand /and say, "love" What the hell is that thing? My name is Carmen
and I am here 2 pump U up / ([Y'all need 2 get high] /here we go!
Go Carmen! {repeat throughout song}

 Time and time again /I hear the question why I wasn't enough /Leaving 'em all behind,
I'm leaving 'em guessing/ that there's nothing left Brother, U deceived me,
wonder why I'm coming accurate / Hittin' them on the money before
a Jane get settled /Cuz I'm bringin' it down 2 U /and I'm gonna take U 2 the next phase  /
A girl rappin', how U see me from another race? /
Trying 2 bite on me because U say I'm from around the way /Tackle me, U best believe/
the lyrics gonna ricochet U on a mission, now U squish 'em like a psychopath I'm on a mission
'til I split your microphone in half /G-g-giving U the knowledge that's been given me/
U see it's like A fanatic with a habit /like a pipe is 2 a junkie/
I'm on the right road, I found my way home /I gotta shush U now U see that I no longer roam/
Givin' the message that I was sent 2 give/ full of love Serving the Father cuz U see me, He's the power from above

Chorus: Hey, we got the power /Ohh, we got the soul (We got the soul)/ Hey, we got the power
(Hey lady, get your tail out of my yard, what the hell?) Ohh, we got the soul

That's why I am flowin' just like a river full of water My number out of order, why-don't-cha wreck your tape recorder/
Cuz I'm explodin' just like the bombs in Vietnam Evacuating buildings while U're sounding your alarm /
With a rhythm, U see that evidence he givin'?/ Now kickin' it beside U cuz just how long was he living
/Just a concept that I created with a style/ That rocking on the mic and y'all have a round /
That I'm displayin', U see, U see, I'm busy prayin'/ I'm on my hands and knees cuz every night/
U know I'm sayin'? 2 my Father/ because He does it 2 remember me I'm giving my thanks 2 U
/because I'm willing 2 serve U faithfully /Give a day, I just can't understand how we forget /
The one that's so responsible 4 giving us everything we get Sometimes I wonder what the hell He was thinking of /
Thinking of us, we need 2 be thinking of the power from above

Chorus

Alright sir, U wanna tell us what happened? /Well hell, I was just standing here and all of a sudden /
a ship fell down there (U need the power) {x2} /And this.. this girl got out and she started scaring the cows and everything
Hell Larry, I think U better get the cuffs OK ma'am, what's your name? Carmen! What, Larry, grab her/
she's gettin' away! (All stand and raise your hand and say, "love") What the...?/ What the hell is that thing?
 (All stand and raise your hand and say, "love") /G-g-giving U the knowledge that's been given me, U see
/it's like A fanatic with a habit like a pipe is 2 a junkie /(All stand and raise your hand and say, "love")
G-g-giving U the knowledge that's been given me, U see it's like {x2} G-g-giving U the knowledge {x2}
G-g-giving U {x4} G-g-giving U the knowledge that's been given me, U see it's like A fanatic with a habit
/like a pipe is 2 a junkie  (Here we go) {repeated} What the hell is that thing?  The power from above {x4} /
What are U thinking of? U need the power from above From above /The power from above {x2} (Ohh, we got the soul)
The power from above {x2}/ (Ohh, we got the soul) Where'd I get the power?  From above!
Hey, we got the power Ohh, we got the soul
(What the hell is that thing?) (U need the power)
Hey, we got the power (All stand and raise your hand and say, "love")
Ohh, we got the soul (U need the power)
Hey, we got the power Ohh, we got the soul (What the hell is that thing?)
(U need, U need the power)
Hey, we got the power

And as I stop and think, the nectar we drink is of one /(Ooh, ooh baby, ooh baby baby, U're all that)
It's hard 2 believe, baby, the fun has just begun /So hold on, here we go
As we ride, 2 people who take pride in pleasing each other /When it comes 2 U, baby, I've got no limits
I'm not shy, I'm not timid

A dream 2 U I seem 2 be, but yet U're my reality/So while I'm here 4 pleasin' U, just be my fantasy

Take a look inside, I've got nothin' there 2 hide /I'm a product of your thought so I know nothing of pride
Let me tease U just a moment, that's the way I express myself
I'm puttin' my cards on the table as I undress myself (Hey)

They drive away in her scarlet 'Bourghini /Off comes her dress, ooh .. her scarlet bikini
"Open your mind 2 the power of the body" /"Open your mind 2 the power of the body"
She says as she disappears and he hears
