People want my power
And they want my station
Storm my winter palace
But they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris
Ride my reputation
Try to pull my status
But they couldn’t fake it

Ay, ay, ay, ay…

Trying to pull a full on, your gas won’t go
Grande chicken on your ass oh no
Man lookin for your ticket like let’s all go
Buddy still I’m in it, but your gas won’t go
When you look on you look on you’re racin
But I’m too gone I’m too gone how that song go
When you get on you get on your shaken
Man you took on you took on too much don’t blow

Awwww…

People want my power
And they want my station
Storm my winter palace
But they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris
Ride my reputation
Try to pull my status
But they couldn’t fake it

Ay, ay, ay, ay…

Can I get a witness, the quo’s so low
Everybody itchin for a throne to throw
And you can be the widget to my turbo
Better sew your status
While the quo’s so low
Do you forget the forget the basics
Want to go long, to go long
You must go slow
Trying to skip all the skip all the bases
But your slippin, your sliding
Can’t make it go

Awwwww…

People want my power
And they want my station
Storm my winter palace
But they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris
Ride my reputation
Try to pull my status
But they couldn’t fake it

Ay, ay, ay, ay…

How hard we fall
I’m another instrument to crash your
Crash your, crash your party

Ha! Crash it!...

People want my power
And they want my station
Storm my winter palace
But they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris
Ride my reputation
Try to pull my status
But they couldn’t fake it

Santigold

Santi White (born September 25, 1976), better known by her stage name Santigold (formerly Santogold), is an American singer, songwriter, and producer. Her debut album Santogold was released to positive reviews in 2008. Her second album Master of My Make-Believe was released in April 2012.

As a solo project with a revolving door of members, the heart and face of Santigold is vivacious frontwoman Santi White. White and John Hill, her former counterpart from ska-punk band Stiffed, use their common backgrounds as production-savvy musicians to make bombastic, bass-oriented songs that fuse punk, reggae, grime, and indie rock with electro.

Little known fact is Santigold’s involvement in the music scene before she was Santigold. Here Black Thought and Dice Raw tell us how they knew her back in the day.
