[Intro] I walk in Whole room tilts Spark in my chest Storm in my fists [Verse 1] Been down bad Concrete in my shoes Now I cut through the crowd Like I’m headline news All that doubt Tryna drag me back But my heartbeat talkin’ Like a thunderclap [Pre-Chorus] Hands up high Feel that charge in the air (hey!) Every scar on my skin Sayin’ “don’t be scared” I was lookin’ for a sign Now I see it in me Flip the switch Light it up Let the city see [Chorus] I got the power Right here Right now From the gutter to the sky I’ma show you how When they push me to the edge I just rise up louder Say it with me Say it with me (I got the power) [Post-Chorus] (Oh, yeah) I got the power (Oh, yeah) I got the fire From my soul to the wire Turn it higher Higher [Verse 2] Cold nights Talkin’ to myself Shadow on the wall Was my only help Now my name Echo off the walls Every “you can’t” Turned to “watch me Y’all” [Pre-Chorus] Hands up high Feel that charge in the air (hey!) Every “no” that I heard Built an answer there I was waitin’ for a call Now it rings in my chest Can’t dim this glow Can’t mute this yes [Chorus] I got the power Right here Right now From the gutter to the sky I’ma show you how When they push me to the edge I just rise up louder Say it with me Say it with me (I got the power) [Choir Break – A Cappella] [black gospel mass choir Clapping and stomps only] Leader: I got the— Choir: Power! Leader: I got the— Choir: Power! Leader: They tried to break me down Choir: Still I stand this hour Leader: Say “I” Choir: I! Leader: Say “got” Choir: Got! Leader & Choir: I got the power! (power!) [Build] [drums and crowd chants rising] Power Power Run through my veins Power Power Breakin’ these chains (hey!) Hands to the sky Feet on the ground You feel that surge? That’s the sound [Chorus] I got the power Right here Right now From the gutter to the sky I’ma show you how When they push me to the edge I just rise up louder Say it with me Say it with me (I got the power) [Outro – Choir] (Yeah) I got the power (Yeah) I got the power From the low From the low To the highest tower Keep sayin’ it Sayin’ it I got the power
