Trying to prove white men can rap, too ;)
What happens when two white boys try to write a rap song ;)
YOU GOT DA POWER
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Mark E. Ellis
Arrangement by Juan Tyus
All instruments performed by Juan Tyus
You got da power
You got da power
You got da power
It’s down to the wire, it’s now or never
Calvary looks so dire, and did you ever
Doubt for a moment, what You’re about to do
Why don’t you think about it , for a minute or two
CHORUS
You got da power -- You got what it takes
There’s fire in your eyes -- You know what’s at stake
You got da power --There’s fire in your bones
You ain’t turning aside -- You’ll conquer the stone
You got da power
You got da power
You’re a loose cannon, fueling the fire
Cleansing the temple, and the priests for hire
Determined to do, what You set out to do
Determined to see, see the Saga through
REPEAT CHORUS
DRUM SOLO
Go Jesus, go Jesus, go Jesus, go Jesus, go
Go Jesus, go Jesus, go Jesus, go Jesus go…
BRIDGE
Well You took on the cross and the nails
And You took on Satan and the powers of darkness
Now You’ve won, You’re mission prevailed
Now death and hell are powerless
And You’ve got all the power, glory, and dominion forever
RETURN
Oh, it’s down to the wire, it’s now or never
Calvary looks so dire, and did you ever
Doubt for a moment, what You’re about to do
Think about it, for a minute or two
REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
You got da power, You got da power
You got da power, You got da power
