    LYRICS
    POWER
    Brighter days coming,but I can’t see where I’m going.
    In the dark morning I hit the ground running
    cause this grind is so damn real.
    Trying to break that same bad deal
    with the devil that I know and the devil that I don’t.
    We take two steps forward,
    They take one step backward.
    We take each step to lift us up Higher.
    Mama said, “Listen--your first mind is your greatest intuition”
    Find the Strength in your hands and you will pull your way out of the quicksand.
    But this grind is so damn real--
    trying to break that same bad deal
    with the devil that I know and the Devil that I don’t.
    We take two steps forward,
    They take one step backward.
    We take each step to lift us up Higher.
    Two steps forward
    They take one step backward
    We take each step cause
    We. Have. The. Power.
    POWER POWER POWER POWER
    Been a long time living and I made the best with what I have been given.
    Will you stay? Prove it.
    Honey, the way I’m made I got to keep on moving.
    POWER POWER POWER POWER
    Two steps forward,
    They take one step backward.
    We take each step to lift us up Higher.
    We take two steps forward
    They take one step backward
    We take each step cause
    We. Have. The. Power.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve found a group where I love everything I hear each song is competing in my mind for “the best”. Can’t wait until I can find the time and place to see you guys live. I’ll be the old bald guy in the front row embarrassing my children.

    Danielle and AJ, this is a gorgeous use of Shreveport's people of color. Splendid lighting, Well-paced editing. It touches me as a song about Black Power. Believing in that power is one of the keys to Shreveport's future and to America's future, too. The dancers, the choir, AJ's red dress, the setting in a mysterious historic building, it all seems to work together. Congrats.

      @@itssbre9017 what a beautiful women, full of joy, attitude, they make the dance art live in a natural way, everyone have a special expression, but one of my favorite part is when the song says "we have the power" and that so gracefully girl dance and take that pose at 2:10, I just love that way to express it, no need violence as a sign of strength, just the intelligence. It was perfect because of the Black power and the women power no matter the age, everyone is somebody Even before they take the first breath; and all by the arts of music, sing and dance. Congratulations and greetings from Oaxaca de Juárez.

    So beautiful, powerful, thanks life for the diversity of human kind.
    So full of love power on this song and video. When you think that we are not equal in some points, as this music exists because of our beautiful differences, that kind of voice and face -corporal expression that just they afro got; is like art, never is the same but in some point is art, as we the same as humans in essence. So share all that we are, at the end we all are part of the same origin, I have my afro roots by my mom too.
    Thanks for the music. I hope that I can get a record, greetings from Oaxaca de Juárez.
    Love anf life for Mama Africa.

    Wow! Everything about this is GREAT! Excellent songwriting and production, stellar vocals, killer arrangements (somewhat reminiscent of Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones and Phil Spector) along a super-tight band. And - the video is so well done! Excellent cinematography and love the dancers and choir. Kudos to all.
