Luyện nghe bài hát A Soldier's Dream

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

Um, what that term call it post traumatic stress syndrome? That thing that
uh, soldiers will get. I 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 have more impact than others.
Sometimes it visits you in dreams or when you're quiet or just at peace or
trying to be at peace. A lot of get it. A lot of common people get
it. A lot of the time common people are soldiers, just the way it works
out.

is a soldier's dream

The other night I was tumbling towards an sleep
When I had discovered
Atop the sticky firmament of my dreams.
Daybreak and discovered me
my fantasies 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
starin and lookin too closely.
There's so much me that I hide
That careful will recognize.
If you look closely you'll
That the pattern on this soft shirt
Is of workin men's sweat
And prayin tears.
If you look closer notice
this pattern resembles
Tenement row houses, high rises,
block tiers,
Discontinued stretches of elevated tracks,
Slave gullies, acres of tombstones.
If you closer, you'll notice
That fabric has been carefully blended
an advanced new age polymer (oh man, that's nice)
To make the fabric
Weatherproof, and durable.
All this to give some of posture and dignity
To a body that is a host for scars.
I am the new landmark. I am the of injury.
Soldiers me and admire me quietly,
Whispering themselves. You're no soldier.
Your soft bright eyes have to
the battlefield,
Much less its relics of which, I am one.
So, my bullet-ridden remains hidden
these soft fabrics
Which I carefully
That in for how I used to feel,
For how I feeling,
For how I dream feeling,
For how I about you.
And now your fingers want to search
Beyond tender armor.
I cant at you right 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 can't at you right now
But that matter because
You can at me and the longer that
I return your gaze,
The that your gaze
Starts to run my back
Like a nervous hands:
Brisk, intent, for discovery.
If is a fortress
you're threatening to destroy it
By standing at the gates
And to leave.
I can't look at you now,
But you can at me. Do you see me?
