Lyrics

[Intro: 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 [Verse 1: Mos Def] 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 want to be? FREE Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me [Chorus: 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 want to be? FREE! Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me [Verse 2: Mos Def] Can you see the pride in the panther As he glows in splendor and grace? Toppling 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 in the panther As they unify as one? The flowers bloom 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 [Verse 1 reprise: Mos Def w/ group emphasizing] 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 want to be? FREE! Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me [Verse 2 reprise: Mos Def] Can you see the pride in the panther As he glows in splendor and grace? Toppling 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 in 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 It shines bright like the rays of the sun It keeps high like a new day begun [Refrain: Mos Def] Shines bright like the rays of the sun! Keeps high like a new day begun Carry out like the rays of the sun Keep on like a new day begun Say, shines bright like the rays of the sun! Keep high like a new day begun Say, shines bright like the rays of the sun! Come on, keep high like a new day begun Say, it shines bright like the rays of the sun!
