Power - Wretch 32, J. Warner

Mum said I missed my calling, Im always on the phone

I was tryna tell the connect I need another O

They say death comes in threes and thats my numero

Scarface said you’ll get the money and then you’ll become powerful

Power Power Power Power Power Power Power

Power Power Power Power Power Power Power

Power Power Power Power Power Power Power

Power Power Power Power Power Power Power

I don’t know why they’ll double dare me

There ain’t a section where they’re near me cah they go to sell a Henry to

Thierry

I be tryna buy a box, go ghost and disappear

They ask me why I ain’t sharing;

cah I’m tryna buy shares

Had a buzz and a light, yeah still the lights here

Amazing Grace saved a wretch like me, that’s my prayer

Would your pen shed your flesh like me and my peers

We were here before checks, BC if I care

That’s a different type of energy

I was in a lab before Dexter had the chemistry

Tryna sell a rat, push the front to the back before they hit me like Kennedy

Rastas tryna be here long, that’s just the dread in me

I’ve payed homage to everybody that came before me

She ain’t got no morals, that woman she sold her story

Cheap, read it and weep at the expense of poor me

You’ll go for more money, more problems, back into Morleys

Old enough to know better.

But I’m young enough to try again

I’m drinking like I’ll die again I’m tiring

Age starting to show, grays starting to poke

Pace starting to slow, faith starting to go

I’m sounding ungrateful but who asked to be grown

So if you’re a young fire I may pass you the code

If this is what it takes then take after my throne

Say Moses parted the sea but Jermaine parted the snow

I never give as good as I get, I give my everything

Everytime I add noughts on my checks, I deserved everything

Every line kept me sane in my head, I’m my own therapist

Every slice that they took from my bread should be replenishing

18 yrs old momma said son it’s on you (momma said son it’s on you)

So at 18 years old I’ma say son it’s on you (I'ma say son it’s on you)

Never take nothing for granted, nothing is promised

I look at everything I’ve been granted, one thing was promised

That one day I’ll end up in a casket until I’m rotting

That’s when you’re right back where you started, that’s at the bottom

I never had no desire for the London eye

My Jamaican parents made me feel like I’d never touch the sky

See my mum was talking down coz my dad was at the side

I looked up to my gran, she put my grandad in the sky

That’s the strongest women I’ve ever seen, I’ve ever touched, ever known

Ever kissed, ever cuddled, ever loved

Tell my daughter she’s got big heels to fill, she better jump

Outta my arms, into the world

You better run

Daddy showed you you’re a winner, go get finessing

You made me get to number infinity counting blessings

If you knew what I put on the line to get you credit

Now I’m charged up, that be the reason you’ll get the message

Things used to be difficult now I’m the miracle

I took it with a pinch of salt I had to pinch the salt ah

They gotta accept I’m the exception to the rule ah

Now I’m getting ridiculed just like I did in school

Coz I told the teacher she could never be this cool but

Now I’m in the class giving jewels and all my jewels no

Mustard on the beat, they’re getting lost in all the sauce

This is my reward, I give a fuck about awards

Who do feel power

That’s when you’re really gonna need power

It don’t really matter who’s in power

I stand with me people, that’s power

Who do feel power

That’s when you’re really gonna need power

It don’t really matter who’s in power

I stand with me people, black power

Power
