You know, in Rainbow Rocks there was a distinct lack of guitar playing from a character shown shredding it up in one of the preview prequel scenes. A few people requested that I do something with this tune so I thought I'd fix the lack of Trixie guitar work :D With my sincerest apologies to Daniel Ingram, Kathleen Barr, Hasbro, DHX, Sethisto and the rest of the worldwide GP&T Fanclub, and all of my subscribers.

Lyrics:
You better believe
that I got tricks up my sleeve
And I captivate
'Cause I'm powerful and great
You better believe
that I got tricks up my sleeve
See me dominate
'Cause I'm powerful and great
You think you've got what it takes to go toe to toe?
I've got more moves than you'll ever know
I own the stage, I'm all the rage
You're from the past, I'm from the Space Age
Come on, you're just making noise
Listen how my music destroys
Anything you throw at me
I'm gonna throw back, just wait and see
You better believe
that I got tricks up my sleeve
And I captivate
'Cause I'm powerful and great
You better believe
that I got tricks up my sleeve
See me dominate
'Cause I'm powerful and great
I'm here to take you down a peg
By the time I'm done, you're gonna beg
To be in my band, application rejected! (Rejected!)
Don't look so sad and so dejected! (Dejected!)
[Guitar solo]
Don't mean to brag, don't mean to boast
But I'm a six-course meal and you're just burnt toast
Think I'm gonna ever give up?
No, never, never, never, never, never!
Come on, you're just making noise
Listen how my music destroys
Anything you throw at me
I'm gonna throw back, just wait and see
You better believe
that I got tricks up my sleeve
And I captivate
'Cause I'm powerful and great
You better believe
that I got tricks up my sleeve
See me dominate
'Cause I'm powerful and great
I'm the powerful and great
I'm the powerful and great
