The Exodus Has Begun

Have mercy, uh 
The exodus has begun (The exodus has begun!) 
Have mercy, uh 
The exodus has begun 
Now these are the names of the New Power Generation 
(These are the names) 
The funkiest suckers of the new gold nation 
Polyvinyl acetate, New Power Soul 
Guaranteed 2 stick 2 the roof of your Oldsmobile muthafucka 

CHORUS: 
Long live the New Power! 
Have mercy 
Generation after generation, the soul will never die 
(The exodus has begun) 
Long live the New Power! 
Have mercy 
We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply 

Polyvinyl acetate, New Power Soul (Mercy) 
The exodus has begun 
These are the names of the children of the sun 
Pumpin' the love sign in the days of wild 
Tearin' shit up with a vengeance and still they smile (Still they smile) 
Though their lives were made bitter with hard labor and no pay 
These are the children that will come 2 save the day 
(These are the children) 
The exodus has begun 
Have mercy 

CHORUS 

La da da da, da da daaa (Put the icing on the fuckin' cake) 
Sho do do do do doo (Have mercy) 
La da da da, da da daaa (Put the icing on the fuckin' cake) 
Have mercy 

(Behold) 
Behold the children of the New Power 
Are more and mightier than U (Mighty, mighty) 
U that have scorned and held back the inevitable 
Must now come 2 grips with the truth 
(All that is good in the eyes of heaven) 
All that is good in the eyes of heaven 
Will rebuke your powder monkey ways 
(Have mercy, mercy, mercy) 
And let that same heaven have mercy 
When the wrath of the sun knocks upon your gate 

Have mercy 
The exodus has begun 
(New... New Power!) 
Uh, brothers and sisters 
(Stop me if U want, it's between U and me) 
The exodus has begun 
Uh (New Power!) 

Just.. 
Just cause.. 
Just cause it's.. (Have mercy) 
Just cause it's nasty.. 
Just cause it's nasty it don't.. 
Just cause it's nasty it don't mean..
