Isley Bros. - Fight The Power

So many moons ago before hooking up with RblahKelly...The Isley Bros used to throw down like this....


Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
Got so many forces
Stayin' on the scene
Givin' up all around me
Faces full a' pain
I try to play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin' about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down


dancing jig
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll play it first and tell you what it is later.

I don't understand it
People wanna see, ya
Those that got the answers
Red tape in the way
I could take you in easy
That's just half the fun, oh boy
Seeking satisfaction
Keeps me on the run

Fight It. Fight the power.



cool

I & II, and the slow jams were to make babies by!!!!! Also the first time I heard someone "cuss" on a record.....I LATER discovered Dolemite, Blowfly & Richard Pryor!!!!!

What's really funny about Fight The Power is that it was actually the younger Isleys, Ernie, Marvin and Chris Jasper, that were worried about that "Bullshit" line...they were concerned they might get too much flak for it...But older brother Ronald persisted, saying"This is what's goin' on now, it needs to be said..."
