[00:00:00] Absolute Power - Akala
[00:00:10] Absolute power corrupts absolutely
[00:00:12] But absolute powerlessness does the same
[00:00:15] It's not the poverty
[00:00:16] It's the inequality we live with everyday
[00:00:18] That will turn us insane
[00:00:20] Absolute power corrupts absolutely
[00:00:22] But absolute powerlessness does the same
[00:00:25] It's not the poverty
[00:00:26] It's the inequality we live with everyday
[00:00:28] That will turn us insane
[00:00:30] In a scheme of livin' my life wasn't hard
[00:00:32] But as far as Britain goes sh*t I practically starved
[00:00:35] Sleeping in a track suit gas meter runnin' out
[00:00:37] Electric cut off as well candles lightin' up the house
[00:00:40] Lookin' in my momma's eyes I see how she feels
[00:00:42] The strain and the pain of just paying bills
[00:00:45] It ain't real and thats how I grew like so many more
[00:00:48] And now it's part of who I am
[00:00:49] I am very sure
[00:00:50] You wanna know the rage I feel in my stomach
[00:00:52] Knowing my mum and dad split up
[00:00:54] When I was still in her stomach
[00:00:55] And not everything that happened
[00:00:56] I will put in sixteens
[00:00:57] But I will tell you enough
[00:00:59] So you will know what I mean
[00:01:00] My boy's mother got cancer the same time as mine
[00:01:03] His mother died and mine survived
[00:01:05] The sh*t was f**ked back then
[00:01:06] When I was like ten already had the mental strength
[00:01:09] More than many grown men
[00:01:10] Absolute power corrupts absolutely
[00:01:13] But absolute powerlessness does the same
[00:01:16] It's not the poverty
[00:01:17] It's the inequality we live with everyday
[00:01:19] That will turn us insane
[00:01:20] Absolute power corrupts absolutely
[00:01:23] But absolute powerlessness does the same
[00:01:26] It's not the poverty
[00:01:27] It's the inequality we live with everyday
[00:01:29] That will turn us insane
[00:01:30] This was a couple years after my step dad left
[00:01:33] Did he really know the crazy mess that he left
[00:01:35] 'Cause mum done recovered from the lumps in her neck
[00:01:38] For being poor and alone just couldn't cope with the stress
[00:01:40] And I earn my big sis for
[00:01:42] So much soul that night hattan left school
[00:01:44] When she left home
[00:01:45] I was thirteen by now
[00:01:47] Still a little kid innocent
[00:01:48] Next couple years though would turn him to a militant
[00:01:51] That is the result of no food in the fridge
[00:01:53] And every other day being searched by the pigs
[00:01:55] F**k these patronizing teachers
[00:01:57] Don't want my grades slip tryna emasculate me
[00:01:59] Yeah turn me to a b**ch
[00:02:01] And I don't mean a woman please lemme be clear
[00:02:03] I mean a spineless man because what do they fear
[00:02:05] More than a working class black male with a brain
[00:02:08] When our energy is harnessed every changed
[00:02:11] Look at Pac look at Marley look at Hendrix look at Garvey
[00:02:13] This is the potential that is wasted on a daily basis
[00:02:16] A racist classist world that we live in
[00:02:18] Still we comin' from nothing but we educate millions
[00:02:21] Absolute power corrupts absolutely
[00:02:23] But absolute powerlessness does the same
[00:02:26] It's not the poverty
[00:02:27] It's the inequality we live with everyday
[00:02:30] That will turn us insane
[00:02:31] Absolute power corrupts absolutely
[00:02:34] But absolute powerlessness does the same
[00:02:36] It's not the poverty
[00:02:38] It's the inequality we live with everyday
[00:02:40] That will turn us insane
[00:02:41] I understand why it scares you
[00:02:43] It's like how dare you
[00:02:44] Overcome obstacles that we have been careful to
[00:02:47] Place in your way every step of the way
[00:02:49] In this so called democracy where kids get sprayed
[00:02:51] Blacks and the Asians Turks and the chavs
[00:02:54] Crowded in council flats living like ants
[00:02:56] And who's more confused than the poor white trash
[00:02:59] Spouting the bullsh*t about they want their country back
