And you thought the beat slowed down
  Power to the people
  Get on up get into it get involved
  Feel the bass as the cut revolves
  To the brothers wit the 808
  Like I said before PE got a brand new funk
  Turn it up boom the trunk yeah
  Internationally known on the microphone
  Makin' sure the brothers will never leave you alone
  To my sisters
  Sisters yes we missed ya
  Let's get it together make a nation
  You can bet on it, don't sleep on it
  'Cause the troops cold jeepin' it pumpin
  (Power to the people)
  Turn us loose we shall overcome
  They say where you get that bass from
  Hey ohh people, people as we continue on
  Come along, sings this song, are you ready for '91
  Rhythm nation pump that bass an
  We like to know from Chicago, New York and LA
  Are y'all ready, cause the plans in the jam
  And we're ready to roll yo y'all got to tell me
  Are y'all read read to go c'mon
  (Power to the people)
  Had to kick it like that as we roll as one
  One under the sun, to all the cities and the side
  Stateside and the whole wide
  There it is
