Black Panthers arise
Wipe those pitful tears from your dark brown eyes
Stop and listen here as I talk
While we take this dark lonesome journey so that we may walk
Zombies is what they thought of us
Fear is what they brought to us
Similar features, brain, and a heart
They never wanted us to succeed from the start
Living day by day, even voting is a struggle
Working hard because its my only hustle
Anticipation of the future, Determination of today, & Proclamation of my worth leaks from my fallen chains
While Crazy Citations surround me, Caucasians are all around me, Memories of Motivations getting stripped beside me, leaks out my brain
They roar, scream, and chant white power
While the corspes of our dark bodies grow sour
Love is what my mother always taught me
Hate is why white supremacists fought me
My darkskinned flesh may be weak
But this gray locked metal will have it so you cannot speak
Black Panther is what we roar
Forget what they might say black people, we will soar
We didn't land on Pylmouth Rock, Plymouth rock landed on us said the great
We have no mercy for our prisoners, not even for heavens sake
Beautiful Black Angels we once were on our land
Kidnapped and Enslaved so we were brought to this sand
Martin Luther King once had a dream
Now for their blood we will feign
We will will be their worst nightmares as they once were our ancestors
They will regret ever trying to be our successors
Here in Oakland, California we will stand
Picking out White Supremacy strand by strand
