2Pac - Panther Power

2Pac - Panther Power Tupac: As real as it seems the American dream Ain`t nuthin` 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 wasn`t meant for me Ў®Cause lady liberty`s a hypocrite she lied to me Promised freedom education and ecuality Never gave be nuthin` but slavery But now look at how dangerous you made me Callin` me a man Ў®cause I`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 I`m sittin` here mad Ў®cause I`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 can`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 we`re impatient Blacks they others they yell sell out Freedom equality get out yell out Don`t eva be ashamed of what you are It`s your Panther power that makes you a star Panther Power Tupac: My mother neva let me forget my history Hopin` 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 couldn`t settle for bein` a statistic Couldn`t survive in this capitalistic government Ў®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 runnin` through my arteries Try to stop me homeboy you`ll get clawed to death Ў®Cause i`ll be fightin for my freedom Ў®till my dyin` breath Ray: Do you remember that`s what I`m askin` you you think you`re livin` free don`t make me laugh at you Open your eyes realise you`ve been locked in chains Said you wasn`t civilized and stole your name Cause some time has passed we seem to all firget There`s no liberty for me and you we ain`t free yet Panther Power
