[Intro]
Gather 'round
I'm glad everybody came out tonight
As we stand on our neighborhood corner
Know that this fire that's burning represents the passion you have
Listen

Keisha, Tammy, come up front
I recognize all of you
Every creed and color
With that being said
FUCK your ethnicity

You understand that?
We gon' talk about a lot of shit that concerns you

All of you
(Now everybody, throw your hands up high
If you don't give a fuck, throw your hands up high
Now everybody, throw your hands up high
If you don't give a fuck, throw your hands up high)


[Hook]
Now I don't give a fuck if you
Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, goddammit
That don't mean shit to me
Fuck your ethnicity, nigga


[Verse 1]
Fire burning inside my eyes
This the music that saved my life

Y'all be calling it hip-hop
I be calling it hypnotize
Yeah, hypnotize

Trapped my body but freed my mind
What the fuck is you fighting for?
Ain't nobody gonna win that war

My details be retail
Man, I got so much in store

Racism is still alive
Yellow tape and colored lines
Fuck that, nigga look at that line
It's so diverse, they getting off work
And they wanna see Kendrick

Everybody can't drive Benz's, and I been there
So it make it my business
To give them my full attention, 10-hut!
Man, I gotta get my wind up
Man, gotta get down with God cause I got my sins up
Matter of fact, don't mistake me for no fucking rapper
They sit backstage and hide, behind the fucking cameras
I mosh pit
, had a microphone and I tossed it
Had a brain, then I lost it, I'm out of my mind, so don't
You mind how much the cost is
Penny for my thoughts, everybody, please hold up your wallets

Yeah man, I'm the mailman, can't you tell, man?
Going postal, never freeze up, when I approach you
That's star struck and roast you, oh my...
HiiiPower

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of y'all
Cause everybody lied to y'all

And you believe it?
Recognize them false achievements
It's treason and I'm Tylenol

I knock out when you knock it off
Knock on the doors of opportunity
I'm too involved, I'm no activist
I'm no Einstein before calculus
I was kicking that Math
Dropping that science

Like an alchemist, and I be kicking that ass
Lyrically, I'm UFC,
if a UFO had came for me
I'mma come back with the head of an alien

Don't alienate, my dreams
Get it right, get a life, I got 2
That's a metaphor for the big shit I do,
boy
TMI, TSA, man I'm fly
Put wings on my back, that a plane or angel?
Both like a pilot with a halo
- whoa..
Gross..

[Bridge]
I mean I've seen
So many things come through
Them, Him, Her, You
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
I'm just a messenger

Yeah I know life's a bitch
Get the best of her

Put them 3's up
They notice that we up
HiiiPower and the power in the people
And if they don't believe us
They'll die


[Hook]
