Luyện nghe bài hát A Song for Assata

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

There lights and sirens, gunshots firing
Cover eyes as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open
No room to rest, pain consumed each
Shot wit her hands up
Police questioned but shot she answered
One Panther lost his life, the ran for his
Scandalous the police were as they and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, to hold on
To life. She she'd live with no arm
That's what it like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to could tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, her skin it bit
Put to her head, every word she got hit
"Who shot the trooper?" asked her
Put in her eyes, threatened to blast her
Her mind till things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her, that's she would be next
Hurt mixed wit was a reflex
They lied and denied visits from her
But she was building as they to destroy her
If it wasn't for this German nurse they would of served her
I read sister's story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that of been me?
All shit so we could be free, so dig it, y'all

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

It seemed like the middle of the night the law awakened her
crackling, I see 'em when they taking her
Though she knew,
made the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to Prison about six inna morning
Uneasy as pushed her to the second floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, hell.
Put in the basement of a wit all males
And the smell of misery, seat-less toilets and
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and to read
Two years in a hole. Her grew weak
from people so long she forgot how to speak
She freedom 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 child
The foulness they would feed her, hopin she's lose her
tight, knowing the fight would live through this seed
In of a doctor, from her stomach she's bleed
Out of this situation a girl was
Separated from her, left to the Revolution
And lactated to attack
Cause federal and state was for a Black fate
Her emptiness was with beatings and court dates
They cases, hoping one would stick
And said she robbed places didn't exist
In the midst of threats on her life and caged with Aryan whites
Through dark halls of she carried the light
I wonder what happen if that would of been me?
All of shit 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 is beautiful
May God bless your

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

I'm thinkin' of Assata,
Listen to my Love, Assata,
molded from the same mud, Assata
We the same Blood, Assata, yeah
power and pride, so beautiful
May God your soul
power and pride, so beautiful
May God bless soul

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