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
+
Promised me emancipation in this new nation
+
All you ever gave my people was starvation
+
Fathers of our country never cared for me
+
They kept my ancestors shackled up in slavery
+
And Uncle Sam never did a damn 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 take less
+
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, they killed the unity
+
But when I charged them, tried to claim immunity
+
I strike America like a case of heart 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
