[ti:panther power]
[ar:2pac]
[00:08.880] As real as it seems the American dream
[00:11.212] Ain't nuthin'but anotha calculated scheme
[00:13.512] To keep us locked up and shot up and back in chains
[00:16.55] To deny us our future rob our name
[00:18.180] Kept our history a mystery but now i see
[00:20.519] The American dream wasn't meant for me
[00:22.826] 'Cause lady liberty's a hypocrite she lied to me
[00:25.143] Promised freedom education and equality
[00:27.443] Never gave be nuthin'but slavery
[00:29.807] But now look at how dangerous you made me
[00:31.944] Callin'me a man 'cause I'm strong and bold
[00:34.499] With this gumbo of knowledge of the lies you told
[00:36.763] Promised me emancipation and a free nation
[00:39.551] All you ever gave my people was starvation
[00:41.851] The father of our country never cared for me
[00:44.25] They kept our ancestors shacked up in slavery
[00:46.51] Uncle Sam neva did a damm thing for me
[00:48.611] Exept lie about the facts in my history
[00:50.820] Now I'm sittin'here mad 'cause I'm unemployed
[00:53.439] But the government glad cause they enjoy
[00:55.630] When my people are down they just screw us around
[00:58.77] Time to change the government now
[01:00.195] Panther Power
[01:13.761] Ray:
[01:19.198] panther powr from the place that resides within
[01:21.450] Go to for to with a panther and you just can't win
[01:23.942] Self proclaimed best supress the rest
[01:26.366] The rich get richer and the poor take less
[01:28.494] The American dream was the American nightmare
[01:31.50] You kept my people down and refused to fight fair
[01:33.422] The Ku Klux Klan tried to keep us out
[01:35.622] With signs that state No Blacks allowed
[01:37.998] With intimidation and segregation
[01:40.247] Once would wait for our freedom
[01:41.625] but now we're impatient
[01:42.880] black.the other can't get a soldout
[01:45.186] freedem.a alite cant get a yeah out
[01:47.514] dont u ever dsofaijs a you
[01:49.457] panther the power
[01:51.193] they will soon to stop
[01:52.170] panther the power/
[01:59.677] My mother neva let me forget my history
[02:13.313] Hopin'that i would set free cahins that were put on me
[02:16.41] Wanted to be more than just free
[02:17.509] Had to know tha true facts about my history
[02:19.450] I couldn't settle for bein'a statistic
[02:22.629] Couldn't survive in this capitalistic government
[02:25.294] 'Cause it was meant to hold us back with ignorance
[02:28.73] Drugs and sneak attacks in my community
[02:30.497] They killed our unity
[02:43.320] Do you remember that's what I'm askin'you
[02:45.431] you think you're livin'free don't make me laugh at you
[02:48.253] Open your eyes realise you've been locked in chains
[02:50.579] Said you wasn't civilized and stole your name
[02:52.802] 'Cause some time has passed we seem to all firget
[02:55.142] There's no liberty for me and you we ain't free yet
[02:57.558] Panther Power
