Whaaaaaaatttt up, A-Town!
We are Live, Live, Live! Comin’ atcha from downtown ATL,
Album 88, Left on the Dial, Right on the Music,
and it’s goin’ down in A-Town right now with Panthers Pouncin’ like the mascot, and shakers on the move like that ass hot, and with these 100,00 Watts we are coming at you with Truth:

That’s Power.

Yo, the truth never switch, but it converts to true Power,
and here’s some truth
4 Dat Ass
at the top of the hour:

Panthers out here in GA hustlin’ for that Degree, with GSU Blue and Red stayin’ on Decatur Street. They in Rialto not to play a part in the city, but cuz in Downtown ATL,
“We are a part of the city.”
Right now there’s smooth talkers downtown givin’ fast pitches like Maddox,
Don’t talk about the Braves or A-Town, they fanatics,
And if you want some headline news, here’s your next
Signal:

Check out the Panther Power.

Album 88 is streamin’ straight
Power.

The student organizations are at the courtyard tables swappin’
Straight Power.

Cinefest ain’t showin’ movies, it’s shootin’
Mind Power.

It ain’t ever filmed, we still

Live, Live, Live!

We are Live, Live, Live!
And still comin’ alive with every swipe of the MARTA Pass,
And savin’ money every time we use more Power.

Going through the parks, restaurants, the world’s largest aquarium,
and like a DJ in a booth, just one place can spread big truth,
And in the ATL

The Power is Live.
