Luyện nghe bài hát A Song for Assata

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

were lights and sirens, gunshots firing
Cover your eyes as I describe a so violent
like a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood in her chest, cold air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain each breath
Shot twice wit her up
Police questioned but before she answered
One Panther lost his life, the ran for his
Scandalous the police as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, tryin' to on
To life. She she'd live with no arm
That's it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They her room to room-she could tell by the light
tight to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, word she got hit
"Who shot the trooper?" they her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to her
Her mind raced things 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 her lawyer
But she was building as they tried to her
If it wasn't for this German nurse would of served her worse
I read sister's story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what happen if that 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 bless Soul

It seemed the middle of the night when the law awakened her
crackling, I see 'em when they taking her
Though she knew,
What made the peaceful was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to Middle-sex Prison six inna morning
Uneasy as they her to the second floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, hell.
Put in the basement of a wit all males
And the smell of misery, seat-less toilets and
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and begin to
Two in a hole. Her soul grew weak
from people so long she forgot how to speak
She discovered freedom is a sound
And a wall is a wall and can be down
Found peace in the Panthers she went on with
One of the brothers she had a with
The foulness they feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
tight, knowing the fight would live through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach she's
Out of situation a girl was conceived
Separated her, left to mother the Revolution
And to attack hate
Cause federal and state was built for a fate
Her emptiness was filled with and court dates
They cases, hoping one would stick
And said she robbed that didn't exist
In the of threats on her life and being caged with Aryan whites
Through halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder what would happen if that of been me?
All of shit 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 and Pride is beautiful
May God bless Soul

Yo
From North Carolina her grandmother would
News she had had a dream
Her dreams always what they needed them 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 came was the thing
Assata had been of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence shown she couldna the gun
It's time for her to see the sun from the side
for her daughter to be by her mother's side
Time for this Woman to become soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be told how or
She untangled the and escaped the pain
How she broke out of prison I never explain
And even to day they try to get to her
But she's free with political in Cuba.

I'm of Assata, yeah
Listen to my Love, Assata,
We're from the same mud, Assata
We share the same Blood, Assata,
Your power and pride, so
May God bless your
power 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 more about what isn't
Than about what it is, I've never been free
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 to blossom
Freedom is is the to be yourself, to be who you are
To be who you to be, to do what you want to do
