Yasiin Bey - Can U C the Pride in the Panther (Male Version) lyrics

* Poems written by Shakur as ~ interpreted by other artists [Mos Def] It's said that every revolutionary act is a act of love And this is an act of love All power to the people I said the P is for power, the A for action The N-T because now is the time to get it done See the H is for heart, and the E for effect The R hold it down at the end for respect Who am I? A panther Who am I? A panther What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me [Mos Def w/ group emphasizing] Who am I? A panther Who am I? A panther What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me [Mos Def] Can you see the pride of 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 the rays of the sun Outshines, like the sun Shines out, like the sun Shines bright, like the sun Brings light, like the sun [Mos Def w/ group emphasizing] P is for power, the A for action The N-T because now is the time to get it done See the H is for heart, and the E for effect The R hold it down at the end for respect Who am I? A panther Who am I? A panther What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me Who am I? A panther Who am I? A panther What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me [Mos Def] This song is dedicated to all those who live and die for the struggle Panthers, children of the Panthers, or all those, who strive for Free minds, free souls, free bodies.. for freedom And love.. love.. love is the engine to the revolution
