While Young Thug and Meek Mill's collaboration "Hundreds," which they released to celebrate MLK Day, has upset some people, Alicia Keys' is definitely on-point with her uplifting release "Power." The liberating track was previously recorded in 2007, but Alicia decided to drop it today to honor the Civil Rights Activist.

The singer tweeted, "This is a song about POWER that I wrote back in 2007 that I have never shared w/ my fam until now…"

Quotable Lyrics

"Grandma used to say nothing before it's time / Used to say that the world would be mine / So I should just have faith / She showed me / All I need in this life is for free / Change is one thing that is guaranteed / So I should just keep pace"
