Luyện nghe bài hát A Song for Assata

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

There were and sirens, gunshots firing
your eyes as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain each breath
Shot wit her hands up
questioned but shot before she answered
One lost 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 thought she'd with no arm
That's it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her to room-she could tell by the light
tight to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, every 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, she's next to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, told her, that's where she would be next
Hurt wit anger-survival was a reflex
lied and denied visits from her lawyer
But she was building as they tried to her
If it wasn't for this German nurse they would of her worse
I read this sister's story, knew that it deserved a
I wonder what would happen if 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 is beautiful
May God bless Soul

It seemed like the middle of the night the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em when they her
she kinda knew,
What made the ride was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to Middle-sex Prison about six morning
Uneasy as they pushed her to the floor 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
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and begin to
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 peace in the 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 fight would live through seed
In of a doctor, from her stomach she's bleed
Out of this situation a was conceived
from her, left to mother the Revolution
And to attack hate
Cause federal and was built for a Black fate
Her emptiness was filled with and court dates
They fabricated cases, one would stick
And said she robbed places that exist
In the of threats on her life and being caged with Aryan whites
dark halls of hate 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 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 grandmother would
News she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what needed them to mean
What made real was the action in between
She dreamt that Assata was free in they old house in
The fact that they always came true was the
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
for her daughter 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 political asylum in Cuba.

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

Freedom! You askin' me freedom
me about freedom?
I'll be honest 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
About freedom is
Uh, the way I see it
Freedom is, is the to grow, is the right to blossom
Freedom is is the to be yourself, to be who you are
To be who you want to be, to do what you to do
