[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 
I said the P is for power, the for action 
The N-T because now is the time to get it done 
See the is for heart, and the for effect 
The R hold it down at the end for respect 
Who am I? panther 
Who am I? panther 
What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE 
What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE 
Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me 
[Mos Def w/ group emphasizing] 
Who am I? panther 
Who am I? panther 
What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE 
What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE 
Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me 
[Mos Def] 
Can you see the pride of the panther 
as he glows in splendor and grace? 
Topling 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 of the panthers 
as they unify, as one? 
The flower blooms, with brilliance 
and outshines the rays of the sun 
Outshines, like the sun 
Shines out, like the sun 
Shines bright, like the sun 
Brings light, like the sun

Who am I? panther 
Who am I? panther 
What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE 
What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE 
Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me 
Who am I? panther 
Who am I? panther 
What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE 
What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE 
Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me

This song is dedicated to all those who live and die for the [bad word] 
Panthers, children of the Panthers, or all those, who strive for 
free minds, free souls, free bodies.. for freedom 
And love.. love.. love is the engine to the revolution
