[Intro]
And you thought the beat slowed down, come on
Turn me loose
Just turn it up
Power to the people, y'all
Hey

[Verse 1]
Turn me loose, turn it up, get on up
Get into it, get involved
Feel the bass as the cut revolves, hey
To the brothers with the 808
Like I said before, PE got a brand-new funk
Turn it up, boom the trunk, yeah
Internationally known on the microphone
Makin' sure the brothers will never leave you alone
To my sisters
Sisters, yes, we missed ya
Let's get it together, make a nation
You can bet on it, don't sleep on it
'Cause the troops cold Jeepin' it

[Interlude]
Turn it up
Turn me loose
Power to the people
Turn me loose
Turn it up, come on
Come on, y'all, pump it up
Pump that bass
Power to the people
Turn me loose
[Verse 2]
Turn us loose, we shall overcome
They say, "Where you get that bass from?"
Hey, oh, people, people, as we continue on
Come along, sing this song, are you ready for '91?
Rhythm nation, pump that bass in
We like to know
Chicago, New York and LA, are y'all ready?
For the plans and the jam
And we're ready to roll
Yo, y'all got to tell me are y'all ready to go? Come on

[Interlude]
Uh
Turn me loose
Oh
Turn it up
Power to the people, come on
Turn it up
Turn, turn me loose
Turn us loose
We shall overcome
Power to the people, y'all
Come on
Aw yeah, turn it up
[Verse 3]
Had to kick it like that as we roll as one
One under the sun, to all the cities and to the side
Brothers and sister stateside and the whole worldwide
There it is, P-E-A-C-E, 1991
You got to know what we're sayin'
It's a Black thing, so you got to understand

[Outro: Flavor Flav]
Turn me loose
