Power Lyrics by MDQ

2020

[Verse 1]
You would have us forget, you would have us make it easier
Have us regret, you would never say her name
You would have us forget how the mother's pressure freed the sons and daughters caught in torture chambers
Talk about it
Yeah, we've always been great, for a long time now
But you always debate, for a long time now
What a woman should make, what a woman should take
But you never ask a woman, what a basic mistake
Naona chenye mimi sita-do
Ni ku-argue na mafala busy-body like you
Wale wanafikiria sindiria ni weakness
Ni better ni speak less, my actions m-witness
Keep saying, "Not the right time"
You keep telling us, "Not the right time"
You keep singing, "Not the right time"
You keep telling us, "Not the right time"

[Chorus]
I'm my own fix, I'm my own fixer
Write my own script, write my own scripture
And I’m so chic, getting more sicker
See the whole mix, see the whole picture
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder

[Verse 2]
Power, power, power, sisi ndio power
Watoto wa hao, ndio sisi hawa
This time, hatuchoki, this time, hatuogopi
Pesa hatukopi, tena hatusoti
Ngumu kunishika, kwanza jenga ka-CV
Mna pressure ya ku-marry but hatujisikii
Mtabaki mkicheki, shinda mki-debate-i
Kwenye ninaget-i pesa ya kibeti
This one's for the women who came before for us
Who build the world for us, who make it work for us
This one's for the women who came before for us
Who build the world for us, who make it work for us

[Chorus]
I'm my own fix, I'm my own fixer
Write my own script, write my own scripture
And I’m so chic, getting more sicker
See the whole mix, see the whole picture
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder
Getting loud, getting louder

[Interlude]
You would have us regret, you would never say her name
You would have us forget, you would never say her name
You would have us forget, you would never say her name
You would have us forget, talk about it

[Outro]
You have never been straight, you keep telling us, "Wait"
Then you switch up the date, tumechoka
Then you tell us we hate one another, you blame us
You keep trying to shame us to erase us
Ooh, you would have us believe
There is something too big we can never achieve
Ooh, you would have us believe
There is something to be, we could never receive
