## 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!
