Torrence Jerell Esquire - The Power Lyrics

Yea, It's time to receive the power
Make a difference in the world

So many gifts passed down through generations to uplift
Like forklifts to lift amidst the enemy presence that
Torrents like ocean currents to battleships
This written composition is meant
To give direction in discretion and discernment
A hip hop sermon
Entitled
The power that's vital to living life among the idols
That stifle even those who may tower like the Eiffel
This power's vital
Without it one is powerless to break the cycle
Of curse dispersed from the same place the gifts were birthed in the first place
Some say we a cursed race
Cursed to follow slowly behind a hearse and forge license plates
With fellow inmates but
This power transcends the color of face
Or the condition of your present place
Only limited by your faith in the truth coming to light
Yea without faith in the truth
Your faith is wasted like a solar powered flashlight
That's right until the last right
Is all the time we have so I spit fire and speak passionately to advocate for my rights
I know I haven't always been right
Life and death is in the tongue
For what I've done, Lord knows
I will be held accountable
I believe God's grace is more powerful
Emmanuelle, God is with me in the land where I dwell
Rise with me for the son of Jerell
That we may bear fruit like Thaddaeus
I speak depth from a death like Lazarus
A Louisville outcast in this
New York City where the police is blasting us
Harassing us
It's time to move fast because

The power's now
Power Power
The Power's now

The Power to see walk run jump feel the breeze
Travel overseas
Master the crafts of fine artistry
Help raise children properly
Sow into your family's economy
Promote physical health and spirituality
The Power's not futile meaningless nor a fallacy
That's why we must act now so many live tragically
And court death romantically for an increase in salary
They'll let you suffer in a wheel chair with no health care
While private jets burn more fuel in the air
The children of the incarcerated live in despair
Veterans return from tours to return to die to suicide
I wish I could have talked to him could have asked him why
What did he expect to see on the other side?
That he could see now
This world is so foul
Yet still I smile
The sun still shines on God's child
The power's now
The power power
The power's now
The power's now
