Luyện nghe bài hát A Soldier's Dream

(Mos Def speaking)
I'm not gon a song or nothing.

Um, what that term they call it post traumatic stress syndrome? thing that
uh, soldiers get. I think a lot of people get that. It's like when you
experience and uh, it affects you for a long time afterwards. I guess
everything works that way. Certain things have more than others.
Sometimes it visits you in your dreams or when you're or just at peace or
trying to be at peace. A lot of soldiers get it. A lot of common get
it. A lot of the time people are soldiers, that's just the way it works
out.

This is a dream

The other I was tumbling towards an uneasy sleep
When I had discovered
Atop the sweet firmament of my dreams.
came and discovered me
With my pasted to my face.

I cant at you right now.
"Show me eyes," she says.
"Later," he says. "Now, now." "NO!"

Shame is a you know.
Yeah, well discretion is a
You're starin and too closely.
so much about me that I hide
That careful eyes recognize.
If you look closely notice
That the pattern on this soft shirt
Is made of workin men's
And prayin tears.
If you look closer you'll
That pattern resembles
Tenement row houses, project rises,
block tiers,
Discontinued stretches of elevated tracks,
ship gullies, acres of tombstones.
If you look closer, notice
That this fabric has been blended
With an advanced new age (oh man, that's nice)
To make the fabric
Weatherproof, and durable.
All this to some sort of posture and dignity
To a broken body is a host for scars.
I am the new landmark. I am the of injury.
visit me and admire me quietly,
Whispering themselves. You're no soldier.
soft bright eyes never have to
the battlefield,
Much less its relics of which, I am one.
So, my flesh bullet-ridden hidden
these soft fabrics
Which I carefully
stand in for how I used to feel,
For how I feeling,
For how I dream feeling,
For how I feel you.
And now your curious want to search
Beyond this armor.
I look at you right now

(This is my rifle there are like it but this one is mine) 2x

Collecting it all it all;
Surgically, robotically, exactly.
I can't at you right now
But that matter because
You can look at me and the that
I return your gaze,
The harder that gaze
to run across my back
Like a nervous policeman's
Brisk, intent, for discovery.
If discretion is a
you're threatening to destroy it
By simply at the gates
And to leave.
I look at you right now,
But you can at me. Do you see me?
