Would you be free from the burden of race?
There’s power in the riot … power in the riot
Would over whiteness you finally erase
There’s wonderful power in the riot
Refrain:
There is power (power) wonder-working power
In the Blood (in the blood) of the Man (of the man)
There is power (power) wonder-working power
In the spilled out blood of white men
Would you be free from your awful white pride?
There’s power in the riot … power in the riot
Come for a cleansing in the CRT tide
There’s wonderful power in the riot [Refrain]
Would you now topple the White man’s scheme
There’s power in the riot, pow’r in the riot
Find now some pigment for your bloodstream
There’s wonderful pow’r in the riot [Refrain]
Would you exceed e’en Martin Luther King?
There’s pow’r in the riot, pow’r in the riot;
There’s pow’r in the riot, pow’r in the riot;
Come now kill whitey and his offspring
There’s wonderful pow’r in the riot. [Refrain]
There’s wonderful pow’r in the riot. [Refrain]
