I Got The Power

by Norman Samuda Smith

So I've studied hard to get my qualifications
Yet still I can't get no job
I wanna have some good times
Like what other brothers and sisters have
I wanna buy me some new clothes
I gotta buy me some food
My toes are gettin' cold
Cos I gotta hole in my shoes
I'm sick of smelling stale milk
And I'd fed up of seeing stale bread
Most days I gotta fight the crazy dark thoughts,
that's rolling around inna me head

And I'm mad
Sometimes it gets so bad
Internally, I'm feeling sour
But I'm gonna get it together one day
Cos I know I got the power

Me Belly full, but me hungry
Nuff times it's made me very sick
I had to go and see a specialist
Cos my old doctor, he ain't so slick
So I gotta find me a job
But I don't always don a suit and tie
None of the boss man dem will see me
But nobody tells me why
So I'm standing in the cold winter air
And the 'Concrete Castle King' is in there
He's playing Chess with my life
From his comfortable office chair

And I'm mad
Sometimes it gets so bad
Internally, I man is very sour
But I'm not gonna sit down and wait no more
Cos I've found out I got the power

Selah
