Luyện nghe bài hát A Song for Assata

In the of God
In the of the Ancestors
In the Spirit of the Black
In the Spirit of Assata
We make this towards freedom
For all those who been oppressed, and all those in the struggle
Yeah, yo, it

There were lights and sirens, firing
Cover your as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a puddle
bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain consumed breath
twice wit her hands up
Police but shot before she answered
One Panther lost his life, the ran for his
Scandalous the police as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, to hold on
To life. She thought she'd with no arm
That's what it like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They her room to room-she could tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, through her it bit
Put guns to her head, word she got hit
"Who shot the trooper?" they her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to her
Her mind raced things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's next to her best who got killed
She got chills, they her, that's where she would be next
Hurt mixed wit was a reflex
lied and denied visits from her lawyer
But she was as they tried to destroy her
If it wasn't for this German they would of served her worse
I read this story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that of been me?
All this so we could be free, so dig it, y'all

I'm of Assata, yes
to my Love, Assata, yes
Your and Pride is beautiful
May God bless Soul

It like the middle of the night when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em when taking her
Though she knew,
What made the ride was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to Middle-sex Prison six inna morning
Uneasy as pushed her to the second floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, hell.
Put in the of a prison wit all males
And the smell of misery, seat-less and centipedes
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and to read
Two years in a hole. Her soul grew
Away from people so long she forgot how to
She discovered is a unspoken sound
And a wall is a wall and can be down
Found in the Panthers she went on trial with
One of the brothers she had a with
The they would feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would through this seed
In of a doctor, from her stomach she's bleed
Out of this situation a girl was
Separated her, left to mother the Revolution
And to attack hate
Cause federal and was built for a Black fate
Her was filled with beatings and court dates
They cases, hoping one would stick
And said she robbed places that exist
In the midst of threats on her life and being caged Aryan whites
Through dark halls of she carried the light
I wonder what would happen if that would of me?
All of this so we could be free.
Yeah, I often wonder what would happen if would f been me?
All of this so we could be free, so dig it, people

I'm of Assata, yes
to my Love, Assata, yes
Your Power and Pride is
May God your Soul

Yo
From North Carolina her would bring
News that she had had a
Her always meant what they needed them to mean
What made them real was the action in
She dreamt that Assata was free in old house in Queens
The that they always came true was the thing
Assata had been of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence she couldna shot the gun
It's time for her to see the sun from the other
Time for her daughter to be by her side
Time for this Beautiful Woman to soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be told how or
She untangled the and escaped the pain
How she broke out of I could never explain
And even to this day try to get to her
But she's with political asylum in Cuba.

I'm thinkin' of Assata,
to my Love, Assata, yeah
We're molded the same mud, Assata
We share the same Blood, Assata,
Your and pride, so beautiful
May God bless your
Your and pride, so beautiful
May God bless your

Freedom! You askin' me freedom
Asking me freedom?
I'll be with you
I know a more about what freedom isn't
Than about what it is, cause I've never been
I can only share my vision you of the future
About what is
Uh, the way I see it
Freedom is, is the right to grow, is the to blossom
Freedom is is the to be yourself, to be who you are
To be who you want to be, to do you want to do
