Power Lyrics
[Cee-lo]
S'alright ya'll
Yeah Yeah
Aw Yeah!
Alright let's do it!
Ha!
I'm ready to tell the world just how I feel about it!
Yeah!
Oh whoa
Check it out
Hey
[Verse 1: Cee-Lo]
Well now I've got the power
That I hadn't had all along
And it wasn't until recently
That I realized that I had it wrong!
See when I wouldn't be your stereotype
The doors kept getting shut
But now after everybody's gotten to know me
I'm out to claim what I want!
So what are you talking about?
What you looking funny at?
White power's actually when you use that money
To make that money back!
So it's not about black or white
It's about Cee-lo Green!
Now I really understand what they mean
When they say..
S'alright ya'll
Yeah Yeah
Aw Yeah!
Alright let's do it!
Ha!
I'm ready to tell the world just how I feel about it!
Yeah!
Oh whoa
Check it out
Hey
[Verse 1: Cee-Lo]
Well now I've got the power
That I hadn't had all along
And it wasn't until recently
That I realized that I had it wrong!
See when I wouldn't be your stereotype
The doors kept getting shut
But now after everybody's gotten to know me
I'm out to claim what I want!
So what are you talking about?
What you looking funny at?
White power's actually when you use that money
To make that money back!
So it's not about black or white
It's about Cee-lo Green!
Now I really understand what they mean
When they say..
