Lyrics[]
[Chorus: Nija & Beyoncé]
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They feel a way, oh wow (Boma, boma yé)
They feel a way, oh wow (Boma, boma yé)
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They feel a way, oh wow (Boma, boma yé)
They feel a way, oh wow (Boma, boma yé)
[Verse 1: Tierra Whack]
I was always in the lead
Where you wanna be, I'm who they wanna be
B-E-A-U-T-Y, he never seen so much rage from a queen
Rage from a queen, queen so strong, thought
she was a machine
Girl of your dreams, Sinclair regime
Turned to the max, can't forget Maxine
Refer to me as a goddess, I'm tired of being modest
A hundred degrees, the hottest, if we being honest
Ebony and ebonics, black people win
They say we bein' demonic, angel in disguise
I hate I have to disguise it, why you gotta despise it?
Rich in the mind, that's why I'm making deposits
Can't we all empower? It's time to realize it
They'll never, ever take my power
[Chorus: Nija]
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They feel a way, oh wow
They feel a way, oh wow
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They feel a way (Hold up), oh wow (Wow, wow, wow)
They feel a way (Woo), oh wow (Wow, wow, wow)
[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
This that rhythm, this that lightning
This that burn, this ain't no perm
This that nappy, this that urb
This that kinfolk, this that skinfolk
This that war, this that bloodline
On the front line, ready for war
Where you gon' run?
Get loose, get loose, get low, get low
Why you get loose, get loose, get low, get low
Oh, gotta protect my braids
Keep it locked in a safe
Don't make me get back to my ways
My power, they'll never take
[Chorus: Nija & Beyoncé]
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
(They'll never take my power)
They feel a way, oh wow (Wow, wow, wow, wow)
They feel a way (Woo), oh wow (Wow, wow)
They'll never take my power, my power, my power (They'll never take my power)
They'll never take my power, my power, my power (They'll never take my power, power) They feel a way, oh wow
They feel a way, oh wow
[Verse 3: Busiswa]
Come on!
Do you agree? (We agree!)
The queen has arrived
Don't underestimate my power
I will discipline the bullheaded
Be quiet (We are calm)
The demon within me has arisen
Ask those who know about me
There will be nothing when I'm done
Watch out! (We see!)
It's me and my friend
We brought the weapons
Cowards don't mix with us
Be seated (Give the orders)
You see, this is problematic
We will fix it, trust me
Assemble the warriors and let's finish it now
[Chorus: Nija]
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They feel a way (Ayy), oh wow (Wow, wow)
They feel a way (Ayy), oh wow (Wow, wow)
They'll never take my power, my power, my power
They'll never take my power, my power, my power (Ayy) They feel a way (Ayy), oh wow (Wow, wow)
They feel a way (Ayy), oh wow (Wow, wow)
[Outro: Yemi Alade & Moonchild Sanelly]
Come on!
They no fit shake am oh
Lie lie
You no fit touch am oh (Come on, come on!)
I think that means "Let's go," so come on!
Boom, boom, check you later
I roll with the danger
I'm not afraid of this dog
I am a ninja
Boom, boom, check you later
I roll with the danger
I'm not afraid of this dog
I am a ninja
Come on!
