Analysis: Kanye is betraying what POWER is and the challenge of POWER in the world, he represents the definition of POWER in this video, literally. What better imagery is there to visually showcase power in the form of art? It's a visual definition. Some will feel this explanation while some will frown. So if your repping the Illuminati side, Kanye says it best "Stop trippin! Im trippin off the POWER!"
The video shakes hands with the lyrics and reaches its creative level to a maximum height. Was the video taken too far? Would it be much more easy to digest if this video contained: Cars, Money, Clubs, Jewelry, Girls, Booties etc etc...?
Is it better to understand Kanye when he's talking about "Goldiggers" and the "Good Life."? Can you hang with deeper subjects and issues?
Take a tip from the legendary Tupac: "Listen to the words that people say in they lyrics and tell me if that's some real s***, if that's real to you. Listen to what they sayin, don't just bob ya head to the beat, peep the game..."
POWER
I’m livin’ in the 21st century
Doin’ something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
(21st century schizoid man)
The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open
We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, ma’f-cka, we rollin’
Huh? Ma’f-cka, we rollin’
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man’s world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin’
Huh? I see you in the mornin’
This is way too much, I need a moment
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, f-ck that, the World’s ours....
