What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
As real as it seems the American Dream
2
Ain't nothing but another calculated schemes
3
To get us locked up shot up back in chains
4
To deny us of the future rob our names
5
Kept my history of mystery but now I see
6
The American Dream wasn't meant for me
7
'Cause lady liberty is a hypocrite she lied to me
8
Promised me freedom, education, equality
9
Never gave me nothing but slavery
10
And now look at how dangerous you made me
11
Calling me a mad man cause I'm strong and bold
12
With this dump full of knowledge of the lies you told
13
Promise me emancipation in this new nation
14
All you gave my people was our patience
15
Fathers of our country never cared for me
16
They kept my answer shackled up in slavery
17
And Uncle Sam never did a dam thing for me
18
Except lie about the facts in my history
19
So now I'm sitting hear mad cause I'm unemployed
20
But the government's glad cause they enjoyed
21
When my people are down so they can screw us around
22
Time to change the government now panther power
23
[Chorus]
24
Panther power
25
Panther power
26
Panther power
27
Coming straight that resides within
28
Go toe to toe with a panther and you just can't win
29
Suffered fame bats suppressed the rest
30
The rich get richer and the poor take less
31
The American Dream was an American nightmare
32
You kept my people down and refuse to fight fair
33
The Klu Klux Klan tried to keep us out
34
Besides drew they know no blacks allowed
35
With intimidation and segregation was a way for our freedom
36
But now were impatient
37
Blacks the other skin: dead or sell outs
38
Freedom, equality, then I'll yell out
39
"Don't you ever be ashamed of what you are
40
It's ya panther power that makes you a star"
41
Panther power
42
[Chorus]
43
Panther power
44
Panther power
45
Panther power
46
My Mother never let me forget my history
47
Hoping I was set free chains never put on me
48
Wanted to be more than just free
49
Had to know the true facts about my history
50
I couldn't settle for being a statistic
51
Couldn't survive in this capitalistic
52
Government cause it was meant to hold us back
53
Using ignorant, drugs, to sneak attack
54
In my community think of unity
55
But when I charged them, tried to claim immunity
56
I strike America like a case of hard disease
57
Panther power is running through my arteries
58
Try to stop oh boy you'll be clawed to death
59
Cause I'll be fighting for my freedom with my dying breath
60
Do you remember that is what I'm asking you?
61
You think you living free don't let me laugh at you
62
Open your eyes realize that you have been locked in chains
63
Said you wasn't civilized and stole your name
64
Cause some time has passed seem you all forget
65
There ain't no liberty to you and me we all ain't free yet
66
Panther power
67
[Chorus]
68
Panther power
69
Panther power
70
Panther power
71
As real as it seems the American Dream
72
Ain't nothing but another calculated schemes
73
To get us locked up shot up back in chains
74
To deny us of the future rob our names
75
Kept my history of mystery but now I see
76

77
Cause lady liberty is a hypocrite she lied to me
78
Promised me freedom, education, equality
79
Never gave me nothing but slavery
80
And now look at how dangerous you made me
