Luyện nghe bài hát A Song for Assata

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

There were lights and sirens, firing
Cover your as I describe a scene so violent
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 questioned but shot before she
One lost his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the were as they kicked and beat her
she was beyond, tryin' to hold on
To life. She thought she'd live 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
tight to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, every she got hit
"Who shot the trooper?" they her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to her
Her mind raced till got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's next to her best who got killed
She got chills, told her, that's where she would be next
Hurt mixed wit anger-survival was a
They lied and denied visits from her
But she was building as they tried to her
If it wasn't for this German nurse they would of her worse
I read sister's story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that of been me?
All this shit so we could be free, so dig it,

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

It seemed like the of the night when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em they taking her
she kinda knew,
What made the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was
Arrived to Middle-sex Prison six inna 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 to read
Two years in a hole. Her soul grew
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 peace in the Panthers she went on trial
One of the she had a child with
The foulness they feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
Held tight, the fight would live through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach she's
Out of this a girl was conceived
from her, left to mother the Revolution
And lactated to attack
federal and state was built for a Black fate
Her emptiness was with beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one would
And said she places that didn't exist
In the midst of threats on her life and being caged Aryan whites
dark halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder what happen if that would of been me?
All of this so we could be free.
Yeah, I wonder what 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 your Soul

Yo
From North her grandmother would bring
News she had had a dream
Her always meant what they needed them to mean
What made them was the action in between
She that Assata was free in they old house in Queens
The fact they always came true 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
for her daughter to be by her mother's side
Time for Beautiful Woman 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 could explain
And even to this day try to get to her
But she's free with asylum in Cuba.

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

Freedom! You askin' me about
Asking me about
I'll be honest you
I know a whole about what freedom isn't
Than about what it is, 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 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 you want to do
