I'm the lyrical Jesse James!
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. |

Snap - The Power Lyrics:
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

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.
