[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
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

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
