"Show N Prove" lyrics

(Yeah) The power of God's in you
Show and Prove (This is the power)
The power of God's in you
(True power, Show and Prove, showin' and provin')
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
True, the time has come through
Chosen few must Show and Prove

I once asked God to forgive for my sins
Bent on my knees, pleading to be heavenly cleansed
Said the Holy Ghost changed the ways and actions of men
When I stood, I felt the same as if I just walked in
I was twelve at the time, held nines, held mine
A frail mind, criminal thought well designed
Then the Older Gods put me on, on how to rock this
Maintain 360, Lord and live prosperous
His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous
Bear in mind, God, some of your own won't like this
I'm mentally scarred, recuperating from embrasure
Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor
It's in my nature, I was taught that's the first law
Obtain the Food, Clothing and the Shelter that I search for
Fire in my eyes as hot as Earth's core
What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor
In hard times force crimes out an honest man
And most fiend to see the so-called Promised Land
Son of Man, Knowledge, Wisdom and Understand
That it's time to take matters in our own hands

The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
True, the time has come through
Chosen few must Show and Prove (Yo)

The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin
I'm facing Master's gun on the plantation
Sing songs from home yet I'm still caged in
'Cause nine thousand miles is such a long way to swim
And many died tryna survive the next mile
Families was raped, enslaved and exiled
I learned it as a child, knowledge be the key
To unlock your brain and set your mindstate free
It's true, the times come through, chosen few Show and Prove
The power of God's in you
Or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness
Who lack jewel, Love and Peace complete the package
The fact is, five out a hundred know the truth
The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved

The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
True, the time has come through
Chosen few must Show and Prove

Through the course of time, we was dumb, deaf and blind
Now we on the incline, build with one mind
Came a long way but yet we still far behind
So uplift the mind, God rise and shine
I speak to the black, brown and yellow seed
My fellow breed, all race, colors and creed
Search for the knowledge, use science and math
And be queens and kings like the centuries past
The Devil tried to fool my people, said we was equal
But I'll believe him when my culture see freedom
You beat him with the positive thoughts, you don't need him
Leave him in the dirt, let the blood suckers see him

The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
True, the time has come through
Chosen few must Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
The power of God's in you, Show and Prove
True, the time has come through
Chosen few must Show and Prove
