Can You See the Pride In the Panther
As he grows 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 is planted in stone.
Can You See the Pride In the Panthers
as they unify as one.
The flower blooms with brilliance,
and outshines the rays of the sun.

This is my favorite piece of work by Tupac Shakur. In this piece he is basically talking about the unity involved with the Black panthers. Tupac felts that the panthers had plenty of pride and wanted all people to be unified. The emotion and realness inside this poem is amazing. Tupac Shakur was way more than a common "thug". Tupac was a visionary, not only trying to help blacks but all people elevate and erase the hate all over the world.
What some people failed to realize about Tupac is that he was not being a "hoodlum" by rapping about the things that he witnessed in his lifetime. All he wanted was to tell the stories of how some people live in wealth and others live in complete and desolate poverty. By telling these stories, he hoped that the government would come in and fix that promlem and not try to put a censor on his creativity.
Thank you for the years of music, poetry, and inspiration. May your music live on forever. -
this is a beutiful poem. it inspired me to write. thankz for the memoriez tupac. R.I.P dead or alive.!!

Tupac really put his personal feeling into this poem and related very line back to his own life and The part about the seed planted in stone still geowing he is refering to him self and many other childern in the neighboors that he grew ujp in seeings as to how they were in the "hood".

This reminded me of mother's day and how much I TAKE MY OWN MOM FOR GRANTED
-
tupac is inspirational, this poem is inspirational, the pride in the panther is the same pride in him.
-
This poem is great.I think Tupac Shakur is my insperation for the fact that he was put thru alot in his life time. But he still fighted for what he wanted. I understand him 100%. When he die it touch me alot. I was crying like if I lost one of my family members. This poem is great. I loved it.
-
totally amazing, so meaningful..
-
the same thing that tupuc was going though, me and my family is going though. but my mom always says it will be better days i write songs and poems about my feelings so tupuc is expressing his feelings too.
-
cool
-
I know, he's talking about the Panther Movement that his mother was a member of, which I stated loosely; I just took a different meaning from it, another outlook, perception, visuality etc.,
-
he is not litterally talking about a panther
-
-
we r not foolish we know.....
-
-
in this poem when he talks about the panthers he is tieing in the fact of his mom and other family members that were in the Panthers, a black movement group.
-
tupac is one of the greatest men that ever lived. he was very street wise and at the same time book smart. if u like tupac u need 2 c tupac resurection
-
this is beautiful
i love tupac

Panthers are wild in Florida and protected as well. I once as a child saw a panther briefly while sittin' in the backseat of my parents' car as they were driving us to a relatives home.
This piece sort of reminds me of that, but I know as well that 2pac isn't actually or just referring to actual Panthers but 'us' ourselves.
A great piece that 2pac has written here.
