Lyrics:

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 (U ain't gonna hurt me) Sho do do do do doo (Have mercy) La da da da, da da daaa (U ain't gonna hurt me) 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!) J
