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

There were and sirens, gunshots firing
Cover your 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 flesh
No room to rest, consumed each breath
Shot twice wit her up
Police questioned but shot she answered
One lost his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the were as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, tryin' to on
To life. She thought live with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes tight
They moved her room to room-she could by the light
Handcuffed to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put to her head, every word she got hit
"Who the trooper?" they asked her
Put mace in her eyes, to blast her
Her mind till things got still
her eyes, realized she's next to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her, that's where she be next
Hurt mixed wit was a reflex
They lied and denied visits her lawyer
But she was building as they to destroy her
If it wasn't for this German nurse they would of served her
I read this sister's story, knew that it deserved a
I wonder what happen if that would of been me?
All this shit so we 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 like the middle of the night when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em when they her
Though she knew,
What the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to Middle-sex Prison about six morning
Uneasy as they her to the second floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, hell.
Put in the basement of a prison wit all
And the smell of misery, toilets and centipedes
exercise, (paint?,) and begin to read
Two in a hole. Her soul grew weak
Away from people so she forgot how to speak
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 she had a child with
The foulness would feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the would live through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her she's bleed
Out of situation a girl was conceived
Separated from her, left to mother the
And lactated to hate
Cause federal and state was for a Black fate
Her emptiness was filled with beatings and dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one would
And said she robbed places that exist
In the midst of threats on her and being caged with Aryan whites
dark halls of hate 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 happen if that would f been me?
All of shit 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 Soul

Yo
From North Carolina her grandmother would
that she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what they needed to mean
What made them was the action in between
She that Assata was free in they old house in Queens
The fact that they always came true was the
had been convicted of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence shown she couldna the gun
It's for her to see the sun from the other side
Time for her daughter to be by her mother's
Time for this Beautiful Woman to become again
Time for her to breathe, and not be told how or
She the chains and escaped the pain
How she broke out of I could never explain
And even to day they try to get to her
But free 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 your soul
Your power and pride, so
May God your soul

Freedom! You me about freedom
Asking me freedom?
be honest with you
I know a more about what freedom isn't
about what it is, cause I've never been free
I can only share my vision with you of the
About 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 to be, to do what you want to do
