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 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 can't last

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

Couldn't survive in this capitalistic
Government 'cause it was meant to hold us back
Using ignorant, drugs, to sneak attack

In my community think of unity
But when I charged them, tried to claim immunity
I strike America like a case of hard 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 deny us of the future rob our names

Panther power on an hour
From the rebel to you
