Fight the Power

Alternate reality

"Fight the Power" was an ancient Earth song performed by Public Enemy.

In 2263, this song was playing as Jaylah and Montgomery Scott were repairing the USS Franklin. Although he thought the song was old-fashioned, loud, and distracting, she liked it for its beat and shouting. (Star Trek Beyond)

Lyrics[]

Designed to bounce

What counts is the rhymes

Designed to fill your mind

Now that you've realized the pride's alive

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

Nothing'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, let's get down to business

Mental self-defense fitness

You bum rush the show

You gotta go for what you know

Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be

...
