Tupac:. As real as it seems the American dream. Ainâ€™t nuthinâ€™ but 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 wasnâ€™t meant for me. â€˜Cause lady libertyâ€™s a hypocrite she lied to me. Promised freedom education and ecuality. Never gave be nuthinâ€™ but slavery. But now look at how dangerous you made me. Callinâ€™ me a man â€˜cause Iâ€™m 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 Iâ€™m sittinâ€™ here mad â€˜cause Iâ€™m unemployed. But the government mad 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 canâ€™t 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 weâ€™re impatient. Blacks they others they yell sell out. Freedom equality get out yell out. Donâ€™t eva be ashamed of what you are. Itâ€™s your Panther power that makes you a star. Panther Power. Tupac:. My mother neva let me forget my history. Hopinâ€™ that 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 couldnâ€™t settle for beinâ€™ a statistic. Couldnâ€™t survive in this capitalistic government. â€˜Cause it was meant to hold us back with ignorance. Drugs and sneak attacks in my community. They killed our unity. But when I charged them they cried immunity. I strike america like a case of heart disease. Panther Power is runninâ€™ through my arteries. Try to stop me homeboy youâ€™ll get clawed to death. â€˜Cause iâ€™ll be fightin for my freedom â€˜till my dyinâ€™ breath. Ray:. Do you remember thatâ€™s what Iâ€™m askinâ€™ you. you think youâ€™re livinâ€™ free donâ€™t make me laugh at you. Open your eyes realise youâ€™ve been locked in chains. Said you wasnâ€™t civilized and stole your name. â€˜Cause some time has passed we seem to all firget. Thereâ€™s no liberty for me and you we ainâ€™t free yet. Panther Power.
