Lyrics & Translation
English
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?
Power of the equality
Is not yet what it ought to be (Ought to be)
It fills me up like a hollow tree (Hollow tree)
The power of equality
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
A-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?
Power of the equality
Is not yet what it ought to be (Ought to be)
It fills me up like a hollow tree (Hollow tree)
The power of equality
I've got tapes, I've got CDs
I've got my Public Enemy
My lily 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 my hour
Can I get just a little bit of power?
Power of the equality
Is not yet what it ought to be (Ought to be)
It fills me up like a hollow tree (Hollow tree)
The power of equality
Madder than a motherfucker, lick my finger
Can't forget, 'cause the memory lingers
Count 'em off quick, little Piccadilly sickness
Take me to the hick, eat my thickness
I've got a welt from the Bible belt
A-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 can not get to this
People in pain, I do not dig it
Change of brain for Mr. Bigot
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
Whatever happened to humanity?
Whatever happened to humanity?
Whatever happened to humanity?

The Power Of Equality (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Tengo un alma que no puede dormir
Por la noche cuando algo no está bien
Rojo sangre, pero sin vista
Egos explotando en la noche
Se mezclan como barras de dinamita
Rojo, negro o blanco, esta es mi lucha
Vamos coraje, hagámonos oír
Convierte sentimientos en palabras
La igualdad americana siempre ha sido amarga
Una actitud que me gustaría devorar
Mi nombre es paz, esta es mi hora
¿Puedo conseguir solo un poquito de poder?
Poder de la igualdad
Aún no es lo que debería ser (Debería ser)
Me llena como un árbol hueco (Árbol hueco)
El poder de la igualdad
Bien o mal, mi canción es fuerte
Si no te gusta, sigue adelante
Digo lo que quiero, hago lo que puedo
Muerte al mensaje del Ku Klux Klan
No compro la supremacía
Jefe de los medios, me amenazas
La gente que dices que causa todo el crimen
Despierta, hijo de puta, y huele la inmundicia
La ira más negra, el miedo más blanco
¿Puedes oírme, estoy claro?
Mi nombre es paz, esta es mi hora
¿Puedo conseguir solo un poquito de poder?
Poder de la igualdad
Aún no es lo que debería ser (Debería ser)
Me llena como un árbol hueco (Árbol hueco)
El poder de la igualdad
Tengo cintas, tengo CDs
Tengo a mi Public Enemy
Mi culo blanco como un lirio se pone rosado
Cuando escucho la música que me hace pensar
Ni otro puto político
No haciendo nada más que algo por su propia ambición
Nunca toques el sonido que hacemos
Amor sagrado del alma, votos que tomamos
Para crear directamente lo que es verdad
Yo, él está conmigo y con lo que hago
Mi nombre es paz, esta es mi hora
¿Puedo conseguir solo un poquito de poder?
Poder de la igualdad
Aún no es lo que debería ser (Debería ser)
Me llena como un árbol hueco (Árbol hueco)
El poder de la igualdad
Más loco que un hijo de puta, lame mi dedo
No puedo olvidar, porque el recuerdo perdura
Cuéntalos rápido, pequeña enfermedad de Piccadilly
Llévame al paleto, come mi grosor
Tengo un cardenal del cinturón bíblico
Lidiando con la mano que me ha tocado
Sentado en el agarre de un puño asesino
Dando sangre solo por existir
Si me tocas mal me cabreo
No, no puedo con esto
Gente sufriendo, no lo soporto
Cambio de cerebro para el Señor Fanático
Hermanito, ¿me oyes?
Ten corazón, oh, ven acércate a mí
La miseria no es mi amiga
Pero me romperé antes de doblarme
Lo que veo es locura
¿Qué pasó con la humanidad?
¿Qué pasó con la humanidad?
¿Qué pasó con la humanidad?
