Fight the Power (Live - Verzuz) The Isley Brothers

[Intro: Ronald Isley]
Ha, ooh, hey
Come on and hit 'em with the funk, y'all
Yeah, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, ha, hey
Here we go

[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we've got to fight the powers that be

[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
Got so many voices, saying all the same, yeah
Killing up all around me, I see faces full of pain

[Pre-Chorus: Ronald Isley]
I tried to play my music, they say my music’s too loud
I tried talking about it, I got the big runaround
And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, hey

[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
Time is truly wastin', there’s no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley]
I don't understand it, people wanna say, yeah
Those that got the answers, red tape in the way
I could tend to it easy, let's just have some fun now, now
Seekin' my satisfaction, keeps me on the run
