Tupac:

2b
As real as it seems the american dream

2f
Ain't nuthin' but anotha calculated scheme

38
To keep us locked up and shot up and back in chains

27
To deny us our future rob our name

2d
Kept our history a mystery but now i see

2b
The american dream wasn't meant for me

36
¡®cause lady liberty's a hypocrite she lied to me

2c
Promised freedom education and ecuality

26
Never gave be nuthin' but slavery

2e
But now look at how dangerous you made me

31
Callin' me a man ¡®cause i'm strong and bold

36
With this gumbo of knowledge of the lies you told

2f
Promised me emancipation and a free nation

2f
All you ever gave my people was starvation

31
The father of our country never cared for me

32
They kept our ancestors shacked up in slavery

2b
Uncle sam neva did a damm thing for me

2c
Exept lie about the facts in my history

34
Now i'm sittin' here mad ¡®cause i'm unemployed

2c
But the government mad cause they enjoy

36
When my people are down they just screw us around

26
Time to change the government now

Ray:

34
Panther powr from the place that resides within

37
Go to for to with a panther and you just can't win

2a
Self proclaimed best supress the rest

2f
The rich get richer and the poor take less

32
The american dream was the american nightmare

36
You kept my people down and refused to fight fair

2a
The ku klux klan tried to keep us out

38
With signs that state "no blacks allowed"

26
With intimidation and segregation

24
Once would wait for our freedom

1c
But now we're impatient

2a
Blacks they others they yell sell out

26
Freedom equality get out yell out

29
Don't eva be ashamed of what you are

32
It's your panther power that makes you a star

Tupac:

2c
My mother neva let me forget my history

3c
Hopin' that i would set free cahins that were put on me

25
Wanted to be more than just free

30
Had to know tha true facts about my history

2c
I couldn't settle for bein' a statistic

35
Couldn't survive in this capitalistic government

38
¡®cause it was meant to hold us back with ignorance

2c
Drugs and sneak attacks in my community

1a
They killed our unity

30
But when i charged them they cried immunity

32
I strike america like a case of heart disease

31
Panther power is runnin' through my arteries

36
Try to stop me homeboy you'll get clawed to death

42
¡®cause i'll be fightin for my freedom ¡®till my dyin' breath

Ray:

2f
Do you remember that's what i'm askin' you

3c
You think you're livin' free don't make me laugh at you

38
Open your eyes realise you've been locked in chains

32
Said you wasn't civilized and stole your name

37
¡®cause some time has passed we seem to all firget

38
There's no liberty for me and you we ain't free yet
