power (finale) - llegos lyrics
intro
ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah!
verse 1
all these people that i know been coming to me for advice
i saved three girls from committing suicide
the power of my words been getting scrutinized
i’m a god-like illusion being utilized
i got, insight and a heart of gold inside
the devil tried to k!ll me but i couldn’t be crucified
told him to “hug off!” when love and i unified
was i meant to speak my mind in rhymes? i’ll let you decide
i’m-i’m-i’m out here being a king, i’m out here being a tyrant
my voice sounds more majestic than a lions
k!lling every joint i’m on like a virus
k!lling every joint i hold like tendonitis
i’m a viking with no violence
all my cylinders are firing
i got, no room for silence!
k!lling giants with my trident
i reside on a private island
and i spit so much fire it resides a tropical climate
chorus
(whoa, yea, whoa, yea, whoa, yea, whoa, yea)
i got power!, power!
but power can’t be measured
power is a collection of what we put together!
so if i got the power, then you got the power!
if you got the power, then we all got the power!
i got power!, power!
but power can’t be measured!
power is a collection of what we put together!
so if i got the power, then you got the power!
if you got the power, then we all got the power!
credits
ayo i got one last verse for y’all that ties the album together, you’re gonna want to stick around for it!
but first, um, this has been an album that’s been brought to you by the man
and by the man i mean me!
nicky g, g baby, the g whiz, the g*nius kid
brought to you all by myself
the writing, the composition, the production, the recording, the vocals, the editing, the mixing, the mastering
and oh yeah the instruments!
and what i mean by the instruments is that’s me really playing ‘em
you know i’m not just, uh, sitting and cl!cking notes on the computer
i’m really hitting the drum pad, i’m really strumming my guitar, i’m really playing my midi keyboard
yeah and you might say i use the computer but i just use it to transpose it into different instruments
like all the b-ss lines that are on here, that’s really me playing the guitar
and every other sound you hear it was from my guitar or keyboard and i spent hours on hours on hours learning and experimenting how to change it into the sounds that i wanted
like, like i really had to learn all the aspects of what goes into a song
you know and that’s something i take pride in
i’m not just spitting these bars
i’m making music! haha, yeah!
you know i’m more musical than, uh, these motherf-ckers that just sit there and you know cl!ck these notes
i mean, ay not that there’s anything wrong with that
but i mean, come on
like this is music! this isn’t typing cl-ss!
you should be making this thing man, you should be feeling it
you should be grooving
you gotta put soul into your, into your, your playing man
you gotta put soul into the way you play
you gotta that emotion, that feel, that groove
you know, otherwise it’s just bland
and i know you can sit there and play with your attack and your release
and your, all kinds of these effects you can put on this to make it sound more realistic, but man wouldn’t it be just easier to learn the instrument and play it?
i don’t know, that’s what i think
anyways, i just thought you should know
so i mean if you ever think “ah g’s he’s just another rapper man. just come in the booth, spits and leaves”
nah man, i’m so much more than that!
i mean, i really feel this music, i design it
from scratch, every aspect
i started with the sound of air, haha look what i got now!
and on top of that my lyrics are just straight up dope
i mean they actually make you think!
they’re well crafted, they’re mathematic
they’re carved into perfect place
you know, they actually mean something
i’m not trying to sell myself out and dumb down for what is unfortunately a big majority of hip-hop today
i mean, i don’t wanna use this to put people down so uh, why don’t you just read my lyrics instead?
you’ll understand
anyways though man, i know i did all this by myself…but i can’t take all the credit, you know?
i mean other people helped me to get to where i am in my life so
i can take credit for the album but i can’t take full credit for the foundation of who i am
and that foundation starts with my parents
if you guys are listening to this, i, uh, i know we kind of have a disowned relationship and we’ve drifted apart, especially over these past few years
but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re still my parents
i think your leary and unsure of me
but regardless, i just want to say thank you for everything that you did for me
the good and the bad
i mean, you guys really pushed me to push myself to be the best that i can be
and i cannot thank you enough for that
and we may not always get along but i want you to know that you raised a man
a great one!
regardless of how insane i am in my head, you taught me to be a good person and to care for others
and sometimes when i reflect back and think, i don’t think i would have made it without your guys and your support
i might not be alive right now if it wasn’t for you two
you did some things inside of my head that changed me
so thank you!
and right along my parents comes my sister
the one person i can confidently say i would k!ll for
i’m being serious!
you mess with my sister i will make sure you never speak again
haha, i’m just playing man, but seriously don’t f-ck with my sister!
monique, if you’re listening to this, i want you to know i love you and i always will beyond the day that i die
and ayo shout out to the rest of my family
my mimi, pep, aubelita, russ, grandma mary, grandpa hank, my aunties tina, jojo kim and di
and my uncles mark, mike, matt and melvin
and ayo shout out to my blood cousins!
i’m talking about you rosemarie, rionna, andrew, john john, katelyn, cullen, allie, gigi, young caroline
even my two new baby cousins who i unfortunately haven’t been able to meet yet because i’ve been away
but i’ll meet you one day!
and ayo what about my brothers?
i’m talking about the kids who grew up with me
who grew up in me
i’m talking to you will
i’m talking to you ian
i’m talking to you layne
i’m talking to you g money
i’m talking to you tommy
i’m even talking to you yanni
who by the way is a dope rapper y’all should check him out
he goes by the name of kusco
k-u-s-c-o, belongs to the kundalinians
you know kusco’s the one who actually gave me this program so double shout out! haha
we’ll collab soon so don’t worry world
haha oh and my boy paul!
paul motherf-cking holden the first!
you remember way back when, uh, during nlr when i told you that i was gonna shout you out on my album?
well here you go baby, my hairy -ss brother
i’m sure a lot of you are wondering what nlr is….haha
oh man we sucked! but it was all fun though, that’s really all that counts
and speaking of nlr, shout out to ryan dinneen
that’s the guy that really got through my head and taught me the real idea of hip hop, cause back then my lyrics sounded like what you hear on the radio today…just dumb
it’s alright haha i still get a laugh every time i hear that sh-t though
and hey shout out to all the girls i’ve dated throughout my life
you’re all are so different and slowly you guys taught me what a relationship is and what love really means, i mean i get it now! haha
ayo shout out to love by the way!
love is the best thing life can ever offer and i encourage all y’all to find it!
like f-ck hate, f-ck anger, f-ck depression….all you need is love
and shout out to the beatles!
oh man how i grew up through you guys
your music, your personalities, your beliefs, everything!
especially you john lennon
i could go on for hours thanking all the artists who’ve inspired me, the musical and non, so, uh, let’s just say if you make dope music or art, from the bottom of my heart thank you!
if i forgot to shout anyone out, it’s nothing personal, i’m sorry it’s just that i’ve been sipping this wine all night
haha i tend to get a little forgetful when i drink this stuff haha its all good though
you know i didn’t go into too much detail about what the depths in my mind are, or you know, what caused them
or what the devil has done to me
or what evil, has been through me
but that wasn’t the point of any of this album
i wanted to show you more how i coped with it and what i did with it
i didn’t really want to tell you why, or what was going on
if you really want to know that stuff, i mean, you can come talk to me in person
where we’re gonna sit down and have an intimate conversation, where i can stare you in the eye and tell you what i felt, what i, what i learned
you know, i mean it’s, it’s dark stuff
and, i’m like a moon man!
i’m a man on the moon
i’m literally awake all of the time, when the moon’s out
i’m out running around
there is a dark side of the moon, there is a dark side to me
not all the time, i’m not saying i’m 100% happy and big ol’ smile on my face, but 95% i am, and that’s un-f-cking-real coming from the depths that i was in
i know this sound weird, but shout out to the devil
i mean, f-ck him, but i also who i am because of him, or it, whatever it is
you know, the devil consumed me for a point in my life
and i mean really possessed me
he was in my head, my heart, my actions, my words
it took a lot of fighting, pain and struggle to get rid of him but
i finally beat that motherf-cker!
i mean he really tried to drag me down
he tried to k!ll me, multiple ways, multiple times
but man i, i prevailed!
something in my mind held on, and i’m, i’m alive today
you know, now i feel great! i’m healthy again
i’m smiling man, i’m laughing like i should be again
and man that’s a talk for another time, i mean
man f-ck, these are the credits right now, i shouldn’t be relishing in my sorrows
let’s go man, this is about power!
this is about changing the world!
this is about my album, this is a celebration of what i’ve done!
haha! man if y’all saw me right now i got the biggest smile on my face, haha
man i feel so good, i never want to let this feeling go
ay a fun fact about this album is that it was entirely recorded in a random parking lot in the middle of the woods because my apartment complex wouldn’t let me
that didn’t stop me! haha
and if i got one piece of advice for y’all, one line for you to inhale
one lesson to inhale, it’s mind over matter
if you have something that you need to get done, you get it done
no matter what you’re feeling or thinking, you suck it up and just do what you need to do
you feel me?
i don’t care if your tired, or sick, or worried
just get the f, get off your -ss and do it man
it’s the only way you’re gonna get somewhere in life
i mean find out what you’re p-ssionate about and take that leap of faith
i mean, to be great at something you, you gotta make sacrifices
a lot of those sacrifices are tough decisions to make, but
they’re the choices who define who we’ll be later on in life
so if there’s something that your p-ssionate about, use mind over matter
just go do it! i’m serious man, haha
yo if you see me in the street, come talk to me!
or come give me a high five man, i f-cking love high fives!
that sh-t’s my, that’s my jam baby
if you can make my hand sting, yeah, that’s what i’m talking about! haha
i really see the good in everyone and uh, i’m gonna stick around for a while
i’ve, uh, put my body through some pretty extreme pressures, and i’ve sacrificed my health, my, uh, part of my sanity for the search to what i’m gonna do with my life
and, uh, i’m gonna spill the wealth!
you hear that? i’m gonna spill the wealth!
for the entire world, every single person that lives
if you see me man, come talk to me, don’t be shy!
i love to talk to people and figure out what’s going on in their shoes
cause the only way to solve the issues in this world is to get inside of everyone’s head
it’s to take away the negativity, it’s to, you know?
you gotta spread love, you gotta spread positivity, you gotta spread equity
you gotta spread the wealth, you gotta spill the wealth
i’m out to change the world, you know, i really think that’s my purpose
i think i’m, i don’t wanna sound like c-cky or super ignorant but
i really think i am the chosen one
i think, uh, i think my purpose in life is supposed to amount to saving it, saving the world!
so, uh, why music? that ain’t gonna save the world
look at out generation man, we need that, that quick attention, you know
i can’t just go out in front of people and lecture on a stand, i mean
people are gonna fall asleep, they’re gonna leave, that’s not gonna get to people
and especially all y’all kids my age, i mean
who do they listen to? they listen to these rappers, they listen to these musicians
i feel if you can, if you got a message and you can make someone groove to that message
i really think that’s the best way to get inside of people’s brains
i think it’s a little inhumane to go inside of your mind and change your genetics to make everyone the same to get rid of hate
but i think you can get rid of hate through music
if i can touch enough people and if i can
if i can get inside of enough people’s heads
if i can make their toes tap, you know what i mean?
i don’t think that’s gonna change the world completely but i think that’s the best way to start
and hey, i feel like i’m just rambling now because honestly a part of me just doesn’t want to turn this mic off
i mean, i don’t want to end this album
it’s been a f-cking journey
it hasn’t always been easy but, all in all this, uh, music is my vacation
i just don’t want this one to end, you know?
but it’s all good!
by the time you hear this i’ll already have ten more songs done
i mean at least written, a couple mixed, recorded, it’s all good, no worries!
this is just the first installment of many more to come!
and speaking of what’s to come my next project is surreal, i think you guys will really like it
i won’t tell you what it is but it has to deal with me writing a book and a lot of abbey road, haha
anyways i’m getting cold now because like, it’s raining outside and it’s only, i don’t know, 30 degrees
i’ve been sitting out here for a couple hours now, so i’m gonna kick this last verse right now
you ready? are you ready to inhale it?
alright, let’s go, ya!
chorus
(whoa, yea, whoa, yea, whoa, yea, whoa, yea)
i got power!, power!
but power can’t be measured!
power is a collection of what we put together!
so if i got the power, then you got the power!
if you got the power, we got motherf-cking power!
i got power!, power!
but power can’t be measured!
power is a collection of what we put together!
so if i got the power, then you got the power!
if you got the power, we got motherf-cking power!
verse 2
i feel amazing
especially with this creation
i a lot of people thought i fell off
i was in the bas-m-nt
being patient finally made its payment
i took my time, strategized, every line, with placement
took concepts into songs then adjacent
but more than just songs here, i’m trying to make a statement
i had to push hard to lay the pavement
a lot of frustration, but i never gave in
one day my words will be the greatest of the ancients
i’m the x-variable in every equation
i’m try’na implicate my generation
me and music, will have a never-ending conversation
i really bleed what i say, you can feel the relation
it’s in the blood pact!
read my lyrics! not all the wealth is blatant
soundwaves i’m trying to make my only occupation
i use every sensation as inspiration
that’s the reason why i repeat inhalation! inhalation!
(onomatopoeia)
