The song fight the power that was continuously being played through out this film. Possibly stood for more than just fight the power of the government and police officers. Could it have also been giving hints about stoping the power that racism holds as well. The reason I say this is because almost every time this song was being heard it was in a moment where racism was a part of. The main example was in Sal’s when the huge fight happened, but it also happened in the scene with the Boom Box battle where some things were said by the hispanic group after they  had lost.
