lyrics
Verse:
What would you do if you were truly all powerful, use it properly or let the dark side devour you?
Would you bring about the change to end the world’s suffering or would you turn a blind eye and leave people plundering
I’m wondering would you be like Gandolph the grey, or would you play the part of Saruman and end the light of day?
They say absolute power corrupts absolutely, be careful with the type of power that I’m introducing
If you could push a button and receive a million dollars, but just by doing so you’d kill a father’s only daughter.
Would you push it or would you feel a slight hesitation, would you contemplate the consequence or think about vacation
If you could make the world a better place just by thinking it, simply blink and it would be utopia immediate
Would you be greediest, or lustful, unappreciative, with hatred for the common man, denying those who needed it.
Would you be the one to take advantage of the destitute, lowering the price of junk and raise the price of the vegetables?
Would you wave your magic wand and put an end to gluttony, reverse the ill effects of obesity in this country?
Would you tell the people what you’re putting in the food supply, or would you keep it quiet then encourage them to super size?
Would you lie to women and make them think it’s impossible to have a child naturally instead of in a hospital?
Lying on their backs while overdosin’ on pitosin, they comatose the baby while the uterus is closing.
If you could sign your name on a treaty of significance, to end an occupation while freeing all the citizens?
If you had the ears of people in the masses in your grasp or in a class would you lead or take advantage?
Would you ask them to support you while you’re rolling in a Bentley, in return for guidance toward a fairytale ending.
Would you help these little girls understand their prominence, instead of falling for the first dude who gives em’ compliments?
Would you praise the permanence of natural and encourage them or tell em’ they’re not beautiful unless they put a perm in it?
Know you're trulyl powerful, remember that it’s limitless, that means that you could speak it and the rest of us are living it.
The rest of us would live with it, the best of us would have to unify on commonalities and overlook the differences.
They say with great power comes great responsibility, the mantra is the movement you should use it if you’re feeling me.
Since you have the power to tell me bout’ what you can’t do, can’t you kill the word can’t? Here’s an example.
You can make a conscious choice to only speak the positive, you can use the power of your voice to change a continent
You rewind this verse cause I know you haven’t gotten it, your heads bobbin’ obvious the beat has got you lost in it. (48)
I’m back to the future trying to save the clock tower, I’m moppin’ floors now but with a focused will power.
I could be mayor, yeah that has a nice ring to it, on my Goldie Wilson and this is just my theme music.
This is Doctor King music, this is rapid eye movement I have a dream music, hope you’re never seen snoozing!
Rock inoculation meant to fortify immunity; you could see my power by the way that I’m influencing (56)
Your local community, cause everyone is usually, moving like machines in a maze chasing the moving cheese
The power’s within you and me, learn to use it fluently, what could the solution be, honestly and truthfully
The question is the answer, they have the cure for cancer yet they manufacture new disease Google it and you will see!
This is absolute power!
