Will Power

What is power?

Do I have it?

Power lets you control the hour.

Power leaves your opposition scared as shit.

Power gives you the keys to world.

And all of its secrets.

Power gets you the girl.

With power who gives a fuck about regrets?

Power keeps the cops on your ass.

Power is taken not earned in a class.

Power leaves you looking over your shoulder.

Power keeps you in someones sights.

Power makes you grow colder.

Power keeps you in fights.

Power attracts competition.

Power gives others a mission.

Power is the reason why shit doesn't function.

Power is why we are cut out the loop.

Power doesn't belong to me or you.

Power is the reason they won't leave.

Power is the reason he moves keys.

Power is the reason he brings them to their knees.

Power makes you crazy.

Power makes you lazy.

Because why work when others can do it for you?

Who does power belong to?

Well I'll tell you this it couldn't belong to me.

Why? Well you see...

They already gave "Power" to a guy sort of like me.

But I damn sure bet they won't let it happen again you see.

Because people like me had power before.

But we don't have such power anymore.

But we have power in a different shade.

A kind of power that is naturally made.

People like me have power that others call will.

Will is what keeps my people striving to live.

Will is what keeps my people paying the bill.

Will is something mortal man can not give.

Will is there you just need to see.

So no I don't have power in the sense of over other having control.

I have power over me.

And with my own will I will reach my goal.

Jannah.
