Can U C The Pride In The Panther Lyrics

Can U C The Pride In The Panther lyrics

[Mos Def]

This song is dedicated

to the mothers and the children of
the revolution

From Tupac, to Afeni Shakur

and many many more

This is for you

One love, one life



[Mos Def * singing]

Can you see.. the pride of the panther

As she nurtures.. her young all
alone

It's the seed.. that must grow regardless

of the fact that,
it's been planted in stone

Can you see.. the pride of the panther

In the concrete jungle, alone with her cub

It's the seed.. that must
come to harvest

It's the tree.. that must grow out of love



Can you see the pride in 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
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



[Mos Def]

Can
you see the pride in the panther

as he glows in splendor and grace?

Topling the 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 been
planted in stone

Can't you see the pride of 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 (uh-huh)

It shines bright like the rays of the
sun (hah)

And keeps high like a new day begun



[Mos Def *
singing]

Shines bright like the rays of the SUN!

Every revolutionary act is a act of love

And love is the engine of the revolution
