"Fight the power" single by Public Enemy from the album 'Do the Right Thing and Fear of a Black Planet' [1989]
1989 the number another summer (get down) Sound of the funky drummer Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got sould (Brothers and sisters, hey) Listen if you're missin' y'all Swingin' while I'm singin' Givin' whatcha gettin' Knowin' what I know While the Black bands sweatin' And the rhythm rhymes rollin' Got to give us what we want Gotta give us what we need Our freedom of speech is freedom or death We got to fight the powers that be Lemme hear you say Fight the power
Chorus
As the rhythm designed to bounce What counts is that the rhymes Designed to fill your mind Now that you've realized the prides arrived We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart It's a start, a work of art To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange People, people we are the same No we're not the same Cause we don't know the game What we need is awareness, we can't get careless You say what is this? My beloved lets get down to business Mental self defensive fitness (Yo) bum rush the show You gotta go for what you know Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be Lemme hear you say... Fight the Power
Chorus
Elvis was a hero to most But he never meant shit to me you see Straight up racist that sucker was Simple and plain Mother fuck him and John Wayne Cause I'm Black and I'm proud I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps Sample a look back you look and find Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check Don't worry be happy Was a number one jam Damn if I say it you can slap me right here (Get it) lets get this party started right Right on, c'mon What we got to say Power to the people no delay To make everybody see In order to fight the powers that be

John Wayne had his racist moments. No doubt about it. So I can understand the underlying comment to him. Elvis....I don't know. He never seemed that way.
Love the song, but don't agree with the Elvis and John Wayne were racist bit. I don't ever remember any bit from Elvis, or John Wayne where either one was racist at all. If someone could provide me with an instance, I would love to watch it to be proven wrong.
white people can luv this song black people can Asian people Everybody we hav to become one fukin population..Racism is Bullshit.We only live one time and we waste our live with bullshit.FIGHT THE POWER .. Black panthers..4LIFE
