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
 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 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
 Except lie about the facts in my history
 Now I'm sittin here mad 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

 Ray:
 panther power from the place that resides within
 Go to for to with a panther and you just cant 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

 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
 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
 Cause I'll be fightin for my freedom til 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 wasnt 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
