Remember the late eighties/early nineties-song I've got the power, by Snap? Sure you do.

Its a good song for having this completely deluged fantasy about having the power supreme, or whatever that may be.

In what way do YOU have the power supreme, when listening to the song, singing along with the words "I've got the power"? How do you picture yourself?

mine:
I always think of me, standing on some hill like gandalf, commanding the weather with a staff of somekind. Maybe I have played too many RPG's...I think mine is a pretty stupid association, but it's better then having no power at all, eh?

Just as a side note, this song was recently remixed with the Enron recordings of "Enron energy traders discussing the situation in extremely colorful and coarse language". Full story here.

Quality, I possess so sing 'em fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
of the mic-ro-phone, that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen,
If they are... SNAP, don't need the police,
Try to say them, your voice will cease,
So PEACE, stay off my back,
Or I will attack, and you don't want that....



(from memory, so it may not be 100% correct)

Whew... feels good to get that off my chest.

I've got the power hey yeah heh

Like the crack of the whip I snap attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel rhyme devil
On a heavenly level
Bang the bass turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven to fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah
Gettin' kinda heavy
It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda heavy
It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda heavy
It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda heavy
It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda heavy

Chorus:

I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
I've got the power oh-oh-oh-oh

(repeat chorus)

It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic
It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic
It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic
It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic

Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are snap
Don't need the police to try to save them
Your voice will sink so please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

(repeat chorus 2x)

Like the crack of the whip I snap attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel rhyme devil
On a heavenly level
Bang the bass turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven to fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James

(repeat chorus)

I've got the power

Those lyrics just don't sound right to me.

"Your voice will sink"??

Casus Belli

Having read the lyrics, I still don't really get what the song is about..

Kazic

Don't remember it having anything about breaking anyones heart. I could be wrong though.

hmm never really thought of how or what kind of power I would have with that song.
