| As real as it seems the American Dream
|
| Ain’t nothing but another calculated schemes
|
| To get us locked up shot up back in chains
|
| To deny us of the future rob our names
|
| Kept my history of mystery but now I see
|
| The American Dream wasn’t meant for me Cause lady liberty is a hypocrite she lied to me Promised me freedom, education, equality
|
| Never gave me nothing but slavery
|
| And now look at how dangerous you made me Calling me a mad man cause I’m strong and bold
|
| With this dump full of knowledge of the lies you told
|
| Promise me emancipation indispute nation
|
| All you gave my people was our patience
|
| Fathers of our country never cared for me They kept my answer shackled up in slavery
|
| And Uncle Sam never did a dam thing for me Except lie about the facts in my history
|
| So now I’m sitting hear mad cause I’m unemployed
|
| But the government’s glad cause they enjoyed
|
| When my people are down so they can screw us around
|
| Time to change the government now panther power
|
| Panther power
|
| Panther power
|
| Panther power
|
| Coming straight that resides within
|
| Go toe to toe with a panther and you just can’t win
|
| Suffered fame bats suppressed the rest
|
| The rich get richer and the poor can’t last
|
| The American Dream was an American nightmare
|
| You kept my people down and refuse to fight fair
|
| The Klu Klux Klan tried to keep us out
|
| Besides drew they know no blacks allowed
|
| With intimidation and segregation was a way for our freedom
|
| But now were impatient
|
| Blacks the other skin: dead or sell outs
|
| Freedom, equality, then I’ll yell out
|
| Don’t you ever be ashamed of what you are
|
| It’s ya panther power that makes you a star
|
| Panther power

|
| My Mother never let me forget my history
|
| Hoping I was set free chains never put on me Wanted to be more than just free
|
| Had to know the true facts about my history
|
| I couldn’t settle for being a statistic
|
| Couldn’t survive in this capitalistic
|
| Government cause it was meant to hold us back
|
| Using ignorant, drugs, to sneak attack
|
| In my community think of unity
|
| But when I charged them, tried to claim immunity
|
| I strike America like a case of hard disease
|
| Panther power is running through my arteries
|
| Try to stop oh boy you’ll be clawed to death
|
| Cause I’ll be fighting for my freedom with my dying breath
|
| Do you remember that is what I’m asking you?
|
| You think you living free don’t let me laugh at you
|
| Open your eyes realize that you have been locked in chains
|
| Said you wasn’t civilized and stole your name
|
| Cause some time has passed seem you all forget
|
| There ain’t no liberty to you and me we all ain’t free yet
