The Last Poets - Panther lyrics



The home of the free, the land of the brave,
The fear and frustration dance on your grave
Where martial law blows in the breeze
and where basketball’s played in the region service
No more health care, and no more dreams,
No more heroes and no more themes
College education at a minimum wage
Looking at the future and then turning the page
Homeless and shelters and homeless tomorrow
One paycheck away from homeless sorrow
The global economy becomes a global slave
Who do we disposal then? Who do we save?
The panther is yearning the rhythm and blues
Conservative smile from the five o’clock news
Here comes news, here comes the ground,
Here comes the fury, here come the sound

No more health care, and no more dreams,
No more heroes and no more themes
No more health care, and no more dreams,
No more heroes and no more themes

Hit bin for America for contracts to kill
White wing fallacies on a lethal thrill
Debates on … the media leaks
They get to talk shows and we get the fix
Neighborhood jails for neighborhood crimes
Family and friends drop neighborhood times/dimes
No public TV, no public opinion
Total oppression to a total dominion
The real design, the ultimate plan,
Confusing God, God becomes man
Bobby Hutching was the first to go
The panther raved and planed to go
He licked his wounds, he buried his dead
Be bowed his evidence/elegance, but never his head
Into the country, out the back door
CIA, Dee, ain’t pippin’ this hore
Guns and badges and ID cards
Corruption complete with the security guards
The kilo over … five a gram
Are closely related to Uncle Sam
We used to fill bags, used to …
Playing with justice, playing the pro

No more health care, and no more dreams,
No more heroes and no more themes
No more health care, and no more dreams,
No more heroes and no more themes

Mama’s at the crack house, Dad is at the border
Dial 911 and place your order
The war on drugs one great big joke
Hey, you finish the paper work and I finish the coke
Record companies were thumbs of the heir
Blowing smoke up your ass while I’m passing gas
Sing your song. Tap your feet.
There goes our music, here comes their beat
It once was real, it once true,
It once had meaning, we once knew
Powerful men with so little eyes
Feasting with the children when they are losing their lives
Control, manipulate, manipulate, control,
They pump up the volume and twist our soul
Once you caught up, once you sacrifice
Humphrey Hampton paid the price
They came form the hut. They came from the street.
With that blunt knifes or hip-hop beat
Ghettos got that mental fatigue
Who was down and who was in league
Gangster Rap, Gangster Sound,
Gangster dreams of who I am
The rural south, the industrial north,
The panther came stalking. The panther came forth.
Huey, Bobby and Geronimo Path
OpHepimio Messada, some of all of that
Young, precautious and very brave
They made mistakes but always gave
We’re responsible, we sold them out
They still have support. We gained them doubt.
Afraid of ourselves, afraid to be free
Afraid of being what it means to be

No more health care, no more dreams,
No more heroes and no more themes
No more health care, no more dreams,
No more heroes and no more themes

Niggers, niggers desiring the American skies
Trying to COINTELPRO on Versailles
Turning their back on the rising sun
Turning their backs on a loaded gun
Caught in between what it means to be white
The phony left and the danger that’s right/white
Protect yourself, protect your kind
Self-defense from a self-less mind
Justice for yours, justice for all
The beauty of the panther up against the wall
He wins, he loses, he fights again
His love for freedom his only friend
Understand the panther
Understand the law
The fight for justice can be brutal
