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 Panther power Panther power 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 Panther power Panther power Panther power Panther power 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
