Do you have the POWER?

"Rumble, young man, rumble
Life is a trip, so sometimes, we gon’ stumble
You gotta go through pain in order to become you
But once the world numbs you, you’ll feel like it’s only one you
Now you got the power to do anything you want to
Until you ask yourself, “Is this what it’s all come to?” - Jay Z

I am a huge Kanye fan and was so amped when I heard the Power remix with Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz...Kanye spazzed at the end (of course) but Jay also lended a couple of bars which are status worthy. But the meaning behind the song caused me to ask "Why do people have so much Power when it comes to meaningless things? Why do we hold someone to that rank and expect them to live up to OUR expectations? The public damn near tried to murder Kanye for his outburst with Taylor Swift! In reality who cares and why? We seem to be focused on the wrong things now.

"What does it mean to be the boss?
It means second place is the first one who lost
The crucifixion, the being nailed to the cross
Truth or fiction, it’s a hell of a cost, do the dishes"

So often in America we put entertainers on pedestals and look at them as if there is no wrong that can be done. But do we hold ourselves to those same standards and know the burden that comes with such a title. Of course, everyone wants to be the boss but no one wants to claim it when it All Falls Down. Kanye has now dropped two singles and supposedly "dropped" his ego and is becoming a better person. But what about those who ridiculed him...are they the same ones who annointed him with that power and expected him to act accordingly? What are they doing with their POWER?

"I seen people abuse power, use power, misuse and then lose power
Power to the people at last, it’s a new hour" - K. West

Do you have the POWER to create around you and make others believe in what you're selling (dreams). I believe everyone posseses some type of POWER, it justs depends on what you choose to do with it. Make the best out of any situation and know your strengths. Fortunately for Kanye he knew his and is seemingly back to the egotistical rapper that the masses fell in love with.
