Panther Power

As real as it seems the American dream
Aint nuthinbut anotha calculated scheme
To keep us locked up and shot up and back in chains
To deny us our future rob our name
Kept our history a mystery but now i see
The American dream wasnt meant for me
Cause lady libertys a hypocrite she lied to me
Promised freedom education and equality
Never gave be nuthinbut slavery
But now look at how dangerous you made me
Callinme a man cause Im strong and bold
With this gumbo of knowledge of the lies you told
Promised me emancipation and a free nation
All you ever gave my people was starvation
The father of our country never cared for me
They kept our ancestors shacked up in slavery
Uncle Sam neva did a damm thing for me
Exept lie about the facts in my history
Now Im sittinhere mad cause Im unemployed
But the government glad cause they enjoy
When my people are down they just screw us around
Time to change the government now
Panther Power
Ray:
panther powr from the place that resides within
Go to for to with a panther and you just cant win
Self proclaimed best supress the rest
The rich get richer and the poor take less
The American dream was the American nightmare
You kept my people down and refused to fight fair
The Ku Klux Klan tried to keep us out
With signs that state No Blacks allowed
With intimidation and segregation
Once would wait for our freedom
but now were impatient
black.the other cant get a soldout
freedem.a alite cant get a yeah out
dont u ever dsofaijs a you
panther the power
they will soon to stop
panther the power/
My mother neva let me forget my history
Hopinthat i would set free cahins that were put on me
Wanted to be more than just free
Had to know tha true facts about my history
I couldnt settle for beina statistic
Couldnt survive in this capitalistic government
Cause it was meant to hold us back with ignorance
Drugs and sneak attacks in my community
They killed our unity
Do you remember thats what Im askinyou
you think youre livinfree dont make me laugh at you
Open your eyes realise youve been locked in chains
Said you wasnt civilized and stole your name
Cause some time has passed we seem to all firget
Theres no liberty for me and you we aint free yet
