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

There lights and sirens, gunshots firing
Cover your eyes as I describe a scene so
Seemed a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against flesh
No room to rest, pain consumed breath
Shot twice wit her up
Police but shot before she answered
One Panther his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the police 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, held tight
They moved her to room-she could tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, through her it bit
Put guns to her head, every 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 to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her, where she would be next
mixed wit anger-survival was a reflex
They lied and denied from 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 a verse
I wonder what would happen if would 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 your 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 peaceful was the 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 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 long she how to speak
She discovered freedom is a sound
And a is a wall and can be broken down
Found peace in the Panthers she went on with
One of the brothers she had a child
The they would feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would live through this
In need of a doctor, from her she's bleed
Out of this situation a girl was
Separated from her, to mother the Revolution
And lactated to hate
Cause federal and was built for a Black fate
Her was filled with beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one would
And she robbed places that didn't exist
In the midst of threats on her and being caged with Aryan whites
dark halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder would happen if that would of been me?
All of shit so we could be free.
Yeah, I often what would 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 and Pride is beautiful
May God bless your

Yo
From North Carolina her grandmother bring
News that she had had a
Her dreams always meant what needed them to mean
What made real was the action in between
She dreamt that Assata was in they old house in Queens
The fact that they always came was the thing
Assata had been convicted of a murder she 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 side
for this Beautiful Woman to become soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be told how or
She untangled the chains and the pain
How she out of prison I could never explain
And even to day they try to get to her
But free with political asylum in Cuba.

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

Freedom! You me about freedom
Asking me freedom?
be honest with you
I know a whole more about what isn't
Than about what it is, cause I've never been
I can only share my vision with you of the
About what is
Uh, the way I see it
is, is the right 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
