Lyrics


Powerful

The Cossacks yes, yes they came POWERFUL
The Dinosaurs yes, yes they came POWERFUL
The Great Houdini challenged mediums and spirits
Then had a mysterious cause of death but who could
hear it POWERFUL .I knew since the youngest age
of 2 that I would innovate and It was true POWERFUL.
Well the Nazi’s and Cold War The Brandenburg Gate
opened up and that was all. Germany East and Germany
West, Poland, Yugoslavia and the Czechs. POWERFUL.
Now we live our lives on the Chain Gang, Rock and Roll will
make us Rich all the same.

P O W E R F U L
P O W E R F U L.

Powerful Guitars make powerful music with the spirit of ELVIS
and BO DIDDLEY
Moving through it.
YUZIMA the EP, The Cosmonaut, It’s Wonderful, Glasnost,
Sound Opera: Project One,
Dr. John yes he came POWERFUL
Bette Midler yes yes she came POWERFUL
Tupac yes yes he came POWERFUL
Rock and Roll yes yes we came POWERFUL

POWERFUL POWERFUL

OOH OOH OOH

OWE OWE

Power won’t sit out on the sidelines,
real soul smashing resistance every time.
With the soul of a people crashing through the barricade
Stonewall, the frontline, the Gay Pride Parade.
Martin Luther King knew it Woody Guthrie knew it
Open up the halls of Power yes we’re coming through it.
Emma Goldman yes yes she came POWERFUL
Susan B yes yes she came POWERFUL
Madelyn O’Hair yes she came…
With my Greenwich Village boho heritage storming through POWERFUL
The Holy Ghost yes yes SHE came POWERFUL
The Atheist yes yes they came POWERFUL

UH UH

POWER

This is my belief
In regards to hope and change a letter for my forbearers
To some it might sound strange cause we’re powerful
We’re powerful.
I believe in the right, might not remember this indeed
The right to march through progress through the wall of the century
Cause we’re powerful.
The World
We’re powerful
Yeah

about

Yuzima Philip New York

A New Reign Is Here....


At the crossroads of culture, race, rock, r&b, noise (and ancient spirits) sits Yuzima. Having been labeled “noise lord” from a popular rock zine, Yuzima challenges the narrow landscape forced on artists of color, skillfully stirring old New Orleans style jazz, noise-rock, powerful vocals, and skillful songwriting to tell the full American story. ... more
