Hey, batter batter, hey, batter, 
   Hey, batter batter... 
   Swing! 
   
1. I've got a soul that can not sleep 
   At night when something just ain't right 
   Blood red, but without sight 
   Exploding egos in the night 
   Mix like sticks of dynamite 
   Red black or white this is my fight 
   Come on courage, let's be heard 
   Turn feelings into words 
   American equality has always been sour 
   An attitude I would like to devour 
   My name is Peace, this is my hour 
   Can I get just a little bit of power? 

R: The power of equality 
   Is not yet what it ought to be 
   (Ought to be) 
   It fills me up like a hollow tree 
   (A hollow tree) 
   The power of equality 
   
2. Right or wrong my song is strong 
   You don't like it, get along 
   Say what I want, do what I can 
   Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan 
   I don't buy supremacy 
   Media chief you menace me 
   The people you say 'cause all the crime 
   Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime 
   Blackest anger, whitest fear 
   Can you hear me? Am I clear? 
   My name is Peace, this is my hour 
   Can I get just a little bit of power?
    
R: The power of equality...
   
3. Well, I've got tapes, I've got C.D.'s 
   I've got my Public Enemy 
   My lilly white ass is tickled pink 
   When I listen to the music that makes me think 
   Not another motherfuckin' politician 
   Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition 
   Never touch the sound we make 
   Soul sacred love vows that we take 
   To create straight what is true 
   Yo, he's with me, and what I do 
   My name is Peace, this is my hour 
   Can I get just a little bit of power ? 
   
R: The power of equality...
   
4. Madder than a motherfucker, lick my finger 
   Can't forget 'cause the memory lingers 
   Count 'em all quick little piccadilly sickness 
   Take me to the hick, eat my thickness 
   I've got a welt from the bible belt, ah 
   Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt 
   Sitting in the grip of a killing fist 
   Giving up blood just to exist 
   Rub me wrong and I get pissed 
   No I cannot get to this 
   People in pain, I do not dig it 
   Change of brain for Mister Bigot 
   
5. Little brother do you hear me? 
   Have a heart, oh, come get near me 
   Misery is not my friend 
   But I'll break before I bend 
   What I see is insanity 
   What ever happened to humanity...
