Question what is the song "Take the Power Back" talking about?
Answer In summery this song is a message to take the power that the government has back and give it to the people and this can only be done by self-education and organisation.
Further:
This song is about several things, first and foremost the whole message behind the song is that the current cultural, social, and political systems in the United States are immoral, wrong, and power must be taken back by the people. Hence the name of the song "Take the Power Back". And a successful movement should be created to change these things.
Going further the song talks about how education within the United States is primarily Eurocentric and that one must educate him or herself on their own culture (mostly Hispanics and African-Americans) because they won't learn it through American schools, because, as the song suggests, every thing taught is a lie.
