"So the concept is this, basically.

The whole black nation has to be put together as a BLACK ARMY.

And we gon' walk on this nation, we gon' walk on this racist 

power structure, and we gon' say to the whole damn government - 

STICK 'EM UP MOTHERFUCKER! THIS IS A HOLD UP!

We come for what's ours."



[Paris]

Yo black it's time to set stage and guidelines

10 point program, freeze the genocide

Round the posse to protect the people and

regulate and keep straight the man

Clear the way for P-Dog the militant

Made to steer and care for the indigent

Power to the people is a serious concept

Panthers prowl when I say to step

Pigs today'll end up like frey

Like Hutton I'm never lettin 'em get in my way (word)

"Soul on Ice," what I won't be played like

Pigs and house nigs are set in my sight

Cock the gat, for P the pro-black

On to harm and alarmed at the format

News goin out to a racist cop

The first mother{fucker} steps up gets shot

This is Panther Power



[Chorus]

[scratched x3: "power for the hour"]

"Panther Power, you can feel it, get pumped"

[scratched x3: "power for the hour"]

"Panther Power, you can feel it, get pumped"



[Paris]

Now hear the growl, I'm proud to be black

Built to step up and not to step back

Too full grown to allow a gay move

Step to the dog and I show and prove

Ten point program jams that flow and

pigs end belly up, stopped in motion

Who's more brutal than a panther unleashed?

Paris, made to keep the peace

Some duck style when I come inside

Bougies'll pray I get played and fried

But I'm too smart to start with the cold feet

No-Doz shows, the P don't sleep

Comin to the place all in your cave when

Panther Power protects the citizen

Come on, step for the movement

DJ Mad, hit 'em with that Panther Power



[Chorus: w/ minor variations]



[police radio plays for a bit]



[Paris]

Now, who that thought they could stop

the crown chief leader of the movement, watch

When I say build, I mean come correct black

cause I see straight and I don't play tag

Step to this and end up like Axl

Devils all and P-Dog attacks ya

Panther Power keeps punks from runnin up

Play the front and you might get stomped

Witness this, the original man

Made of earth, cream of the motherland

Black and strong and not down to half-step

Piece is kept, police are ripped

P don't plea, it's a new direction

Strength and unity, peace, protection

One for Huey and the movement won't die

And the strong survive, the Panther Power



[Chorus]



[siren in the background of the Chorus]



[police radio, mixed with sounds of a panther growling]
