(Tupac)
As real as it seems the American Dream Ain't nothing but another calculated scheme To get us locked up shot up or back in chains To deny us of the future rob our names Kept my 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 me freedom, education, equality Never gave me nothing but slavery And now look at how dangerous you made me Calling me a mad man cause I'm strong and bold With this gun full of knowledge of the lies you told Promise me emancipation in this new nation All you gave my people was our patience Fathers of our country never cared for me They kept my answer shackled up in slavery And Uncle Sam never did a damn thing for me Except lie about the facts in my history So now I'm sitting here mad cause I'm unemployed But the government's glad cause they enjoy it When my people are down so they can screw us around Time to change the government now panther power (Chorus) Panther power Panther power Panther power (Tyson) Panther power from the strength that resides within Go toe to toe with a panther and you just can't win Suffered fame bats suppressed the rest The rich get richer and the poor take less The American Dream was an American nightmare You kept my people down and refuse to fight fair The Klu Klux Klan tried to keep us out With signs drew they know no blacks allowed With intimidation and segregation was a way for our freedom But now we're impatient Blacks the other skin: dead or sell outs Freedom, equality, then I'll yell out "Don't you ever be ashamed of what you are It's ya panther power that makes you a star" Panther power (Chorus) Panther power Panther power Panther power (Tupac) My Mother never let me forget my history Hoping I was set free chains never put on me Wanted to be more than just free Had to know the true facts about my history I couldn't settle for being a statistic Couldn't survive in this capitalistic Government cause it was meant to hold us back Using ignorant, drugs, to sneak attack In my community they killed the unity But when I charged them, tried to claim immunity I strike America like a case of hard disease Panther power is running through my arteries Try to stop oh boy you'll be clawed to death Cause I'll be fighting for my freedom with my dying breath Do you remember that is what I'm asking you? You think you living free don't let me laugh at you Open your eyes realize that you have been locked in chains Said you wasn't civilized and stole your name Cause some time has passed seem you all forget There ain't no liberty to you and me we all ain't free yet Panther power (Chorus) Panther power Panther power Panther power (Tupac) As real as it seems the American Dream Ain't nothing but another calculate schemes To get us locked up shot up or back in chains To deny us of the future rob our names Kept my 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 me freedom, education, equality Never gave me nothing but slavery And now look at how dangerous you made me Calling me a mad man cause I'm strong and bold With this gun full of knowledge of the lies you told Promise me emancipation in this new nation All you ever gave my people was our patience Fathers of our country never cared for me They kept my answer shackled up in slavery And Uncle Sam never did a damn thing for me Except lie about the facts in my history So now I'm sitting hear mad cause I'm unemployed But the government's glad cause they enjoy it When my people are down so they can screw us around Time to change the government now panther power (Chorus) |

(Intro)
(*"Bad motherfucker and you know this" - cut and scratched*) Stricly Dope in the house [Tupac Shakur] Fumble suckers tumble, god damn I'm good Since I was born I was strong, always knew that I could Don't care anywhere any place I'll rock Give me a mic to light and competition will drop Fast or slow, I'll go and no one is gonna stop me yo You must be kiddin', you swear you're gonna drop me no Well sure as battlin' is bad for your health Know you're confident my friend but don't fool yourself My mic's a weapon, I'm steppin' with a capable rhyme Yo, your time for playin' is over you got your crew I got mine Not braggin', I'm bad and I could only get better Your girl came on to me she wanted me I wouldn't let her Don't make sense to come against me and my man "D" How it is, how it was, that's the way it'll be But you still think you can beat me, huh, get it together Cause I'll never be beat, never be beat, NEVER!! (*"Bad motherfucker and you know this" - cut and scratched*) Stricly Dope in the house (Ray Tyson) Boldy, you step into the trap of the beast Cause I'm the predator competitor and risin' like yeast I'm the microphone musician musically I'm the most When I rumble you tumble like a burnt piece of toast Proceed with caution I cannot be stopped A deadly weapon that is kept inside a sentry lock Strong hold holdin' on but there's no holds barred Fuck around and feel the wrath and you're forever scarred Anybody want to battle just step the hell up I'll toss your ass like a salad and eat you all up You climb the rope of success but you know you can't win You get discouraged because I hold the other end If I let go, like all the others you will fall The vicious vocalist consoloist will still be raw [Tupac Shakur] You go in battles like a sucker but you'll never recoup But I'm the veteran the veteran goin' like a troop Try to stop me you can't, you puff and you pant Try to beat me at this game, but get stomped like an ant In the long run I'm the one that's holdin' the mic Upset to get to me sweatin' me for the rhymes that I write This time we're goin' at it, silly sucker, get ready Cause I'm your worst nightmare, FUCK FREDDY!! Where's that motherfucker that said that I was a dope Tyin' my rhymes like a rope I'll pull it tight and you'll choke You swear that you could beat me punk get it together Cause I'll never be beat ya punk, NEVER!! (*"Bad motherfucker and you know this" - cut and scratched*) (Ray Tyson) Hard is what you wanted, now that's what you're gettin' I'm movin' and groovin' and proven and you're still sittin' Got me blowin' up like a Hawalian volcano Runnin' things like drano, lettin' you know that there ain't no Body gonna diss me now I'm comin' exact I'm paid I got it made, now that I'm makin' tracks This is a lesson, at bein' dope that is Cordless mics is mine, the wheels are his Tons and tons of freaks I'm a Mac Daddio Writin' def jams while I'm chillin' on my patio You are useless as a toothless piranha I'm ruthless now I'm gonna bust it and discuss it make it funky to hear Paragraph to the people penetratin' your ear You wanna taste of it, ooh here take a full dose Burn you up like radiation if you get too close [Tupac Shakur] Cause my mouth is like an uzi when it moves so quick And the lyrics are the bullets that I'm loadin' it with You wanna beat me homeboy, you will be destroyed Get dropped like a habit and played like a toy Never defeated not conceited, but let's face facts Couldn't beat me with a motherfuckin' baseball bat If I gave you a bomb that was nuclear armed You could shoot it at me sucker and I wouldn't get harmed Cause punk you can't stop me, bullets couldn't drop me Stand on a mountain and still couldn't top me, huh You think you'll beat me boy get it together Cause I'll never be beat ya punk NEVER!! (*"Bad motherfucker and you know this" - cut and scratched*) (Ray Tyson) When you hear my beat thumpin' it's a maxium charge Cause I'm the hip-hop hood, the record leader at large Got a PHD in hip-hop history A deadly boy not a toy but a poetry, PRODIGY!! Young beat conisseur hummin' like a bird It was true when you heard I'm the wiz a word Your eyes dilate, your ears drums expand When my voice comes through the speaker from the mic in my hand Woofers stompin' like thunder all about to explode The needle on the nuance stuck in overload Don't laugh cause I'm serious mister mysterious Don't make me mad (why?) Cause I get furious Countless time after time just when you think I'm through I let my melody stretch to make more for you Just bust it cause I'm just too clever and I'll never be beat ya punk, NEVER!! [Tupac Shakur] Rhyme-fumble suckers tumble, god damn I'm good Since I was born I was strong, always knew that I could Don't care anywhere any place I'll rock Give me a mic to light and competition will drop Fast or slow, I'll go and no one is gonna stop me yo You must be kiddin', you swear you're gonna drop me no Well sure as battlin' is bad for your health Know you're confident my friend but don't fool yourself My mic's a weapon, I'm steppin' with a capable rhyme Yo, your time for playin' is over you got your crew I got mine Not braggin', I'm bad and I could only get better Your girl came on to me she wanted me I wouldn't let her Don't make sense to come against me and my man "D" How it is, how it was, that's the way it'll be But you still think you can beat me, huh, get it together Cause I'll never be beat, never be beat, NEVER!! (Outro) (*"Bad motherfucker and you know this" - cut and scratched*) Stricly Dope in the house, never be beat (not never) Never be beat, ay Roc man, check out the competition man Never be beat (not never), never be beat |

They finally did it (whats that?)
They stole the mic i grip Now that its Gone (whats wrong?) I'm feelin' tired and sick (How did they do it?) I don't know I wasnt sleepin that long When i woke up (what happened brotha?) My Microphone was gone First I paniced (how?) I put the cops on the case But they was stumped (damn) Without a clue or a trace So as sure a smoking cigarettes is bad for your health If i want my microphone back I'll find it myself So I picked up the phone (For what?) I called Dizzy (Whats up?) My Mics gone (Wurd?) Lets get Busy Before I told Dizzy what I wanted to Do He was over at my house with the TMS crew He said (Word is out on every mouth on the street Now that its gone its not long 'til your beat) And then it hit me (DAMNNN) I got a battle at 6 With out my microphone I'm guaranteed to get whipped Ya might think its unbelievable But word to the strength When it comes to rockin rhymes Im a musical nimth They Gave me other mics But yo it wasn't no use I tried to rock it (one-two one-two) But I couldn't get loose I said forget it Ya microphone or not And I got to do this Give it all that I got (Yo what if ya loose?) It'd be the first time I lost But if I beat 'em it'd finally prove that I'm the boss I grabbed my leather jacket Walked through the streets Was hopin and payin Strictly dope won't get beat I begin to get hyped I was ready to fight Yo I was confident that I win To hell with the mic! I hop on to the stage Dizzy started the beat The sucka shivered Because he tasted defeat Then I signaled to Dizzy Bust a rhyme wit my head Perpetrator fell back (HA!) And then he was dead I was happy as hell 'Cause I was lucky that night Put my hand in my pocket And there was my mic haha |
