Powerful Lyrics by Jussie Smollett and Alicia Keys

[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
People been talking about it
We won't just stand here in silence
Can't stop the fire from rising
From rising
Ooh Ooh

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
People don't you be afraid
So many innocent's slain
This is an era for change
Change

[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
And Malcolm's probably turning in his grave, aye, ave, ave

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
Every shade was beautifully made

[Chorus: Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett]
And Powerful
There's so much strength in you and me
Powerful
A breathe away from victory

I matter
You matter
We matter, All. (2x)

Powerful. (2x)

[Verse 3: Alicia Keys]
I see a colorful future
Where skin don't define any human
And stars are the only thing shooting
Shooting
Ooh. Ooh

[Verse 4: Jussie Smollett]
Mothers that bury their child
How can we sit there and hide
Change comes when all take a stand now
Stand up
Stand up

[Verse 5: Jussie Smollett]
Martin's speech still echoes in my brain. aye, ain, ain

[Verse 6: Alicia Keys]
Every shade was beautifully made

[Chorus: Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett]
And Powerful
There's so much strength in you and me
Powerful
A breathe away from victory

I matter
You matter
We matter, All. (2x)

Powerful. (2x)

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh.Oh. (3x)

[Verse 7: Jussie Smollett]
Powerful

[Verse 8: Alicia Keys]
There's so much strength in you and me
Powerful
A breathe away from victory

[Chorus: Alicia Keys & Jussie Smollett]
I matter
You matter
We matter, All. (2x)

Powerful. (2x)
