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 stress syndrome? That thing that
uh, soldiers get. I think a lot of people get that. It's like when you
somethin 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 you're quiet or just at peace or
trying to be at peace. A lot of soldiers get it. A lot of people get
it. A lot of the common people are soldiers, that's just the way it works
out.

This is a soldier's

The other night I was tumbling an uneasy sleep
When I had myself
Atop the sweet firmament of my dreams.
Daybreak and discovered me
With my fantasies to my face.

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

Shame is a you know.
Yeah, well is a fortress
You're starin and too closely.
so much about me that I hide
That eyes will recognize.
If you closely you'll notice
That the pattern on this soft cloth
Is of workin men's sweat
And folk's tears.
If you look closer you'll
this pattern resembles
Tenement row houses, high rises,
Cell tiers,
Discontinued of elevated train tracks,
ship gullies, acres of tombstones.
If you closer, you'll notice
this fabric has been carefully blended
With an new age polymer (oh man, that's nice)
To make the fabric
Weatherproof, and durable.
All this to give some sort of and dignity
To a broken body that is a for scars.
I am the new landmark. I am the of injury.
visit me and admire me quietly,
Whispering amongst themselves. no soldier.
Your soft eyes never have to
the battlefield,
Much its collected relics of which, I am one.
So, my flesh remains hidden
Underneath these soft
I carefully select
That 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 cant look at you now

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

Your are too careful,
Collecting it all it all;
Surgically, robotically, exactly.
I look at you right now
But that doesn't because
You can look at me and the that
I don't return gaze,
The harder that gaze
to run across my back
Like a nervous hands:
Brisk, intent, for discovery.
If discretion is a
Then you're threatening to it
By simply standing at the
And to leave.
I look at you right now,
But you can at me. Do you see me?
