[Tupac]  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    [Chorus]  Panther power  Panther power  Panther power    [Tyson]  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    [Chorus]  Panther power  Panther power  Panther power    [Tupac]  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 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  Panter power    [Chorus]  Panther power  Panther power  Panther power    [Tupac]  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    [Chorus]
