Yasiin Bey - Can U C The Pride In The Panther? - Album Version (Female) lyrics

[Mos Def] This song is dedicated To the mothers and the children of the revolution From 2Pac, to Afeni Shakur And many many more This is for you One love, one life [Mos Def * singing] Can you see.. the pride of the panther As she nurtures.. her young all alone It's the seed.. that must grow regardless Of the fact that, it's been planted in stone Can you see.. the pride of the panther In the concrete jungle, alone with her cub It's the seed.. that must come to harvest It's the tree.. that must grow out of love Can you see the pride in the panther As he glows in splendor and grace? Topling obstacles placed In the way of the progression of his race? Can you see the pride in the panther As she nurtures her young, all alone? The seed must grow regardless Of the fact that it's planted in stone Can't you see the pride of the panthers As they unify, as one? The flower blooms with brilliance and Outshines all the rays of the sun Keeps bright like the rays of the sun Carries out like the rays of the sun Keeps bright like the rays of the sun Shines bright like a new day begun [Mos Def] Can you see the pride in the panther As he glows in splendor and grace? Topling the obstacles placed In the way of the progression of his race Can you see the pride in the panther As she nurtures her young all alone? The seed must grow, regardless Of the fact that it's been planted in stone Can't you see the pride of the panthers As they unify as one? The flower blooms, with brilliance And outshines all the rays of the sun It outshines all the rays of the sun Carries out like a new day begun (uh-huh) It shines bright like the rays of the sun (hah) And keeps high like a new day begun [Mos Def * singing] Shines bright like the rays of the SUN!
