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

There were lights and sirens, gunshots
Cover your eyes as I describe a so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a blood
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against flesh
No room to rest, pain each breath
Shot wit her hands up
Police questioned but shot she answered
One Panther his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the were as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, to hold on
To life. She she'd live with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held
They her room to room-she 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?" they her
Put in her eyes, threatened to blast her
Her mind till things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's next to her best friend who got
She got chills, they told her, that's where she be next
Hurt mixed wit was a reflex
They lied and visits from her lawyer
But she was building as they tried to her
If it wasn't for this German nurse they would of served her
I read this story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if would 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 the middle of the night when 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 Middle-sex Prison about six inna
Uneasy as they pushed her to the second in
A cell, one cot, no window, hell.
Put in the of a prison wit all males
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 long she forgot how to
She discovered is a unspoken sound
And a wall is a wall and can be down
Found peace in the she went on trial with
One of the brothers she had a child
The foulness they would feed her, hopin lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would live through seed
In need of a doctor, her stomach she's bleed
Out of situation a girl was conceived
Separated from her, left to mother the
And lactated to attack
Cause federal and state was for a Black fate
Her emptiness was with beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one would
And said she robbed places didn't exist
In the midst of threats on her life and being caged with whites
Through dark halls of she carried the light
I wonder what would happen if would of been me?
All of this so we could be free.
Yeah, I often wonder would happen if that 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 bless Soul

Yo
From North Carolina her would bring
News that she had had a
Her dreams always meant what they needed to mean
What made them real was the in between
She dreamt that Assata was free in they old in Queens
The fact that they always true was the thing
Assata had been convicted of a murder she done
Medical shown 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 Beautiful Woman to become soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be how or when
She untangled the chains and escaped the
How she broke out of prison I never explain
And even to day they try to get to her
But she's free political asylum in Cuba.

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

Freedom! You me about freedom
Asking me about
I'll be with you
I know a whole about what freedom isn't
Than about what it is, cause I've never been
I can only my vision with you of the future
About what 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
