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 Assata
We this movement towards freedom
For all those who have been oppressed, and all in the struggle
Yeah, yo, it

There were lights and sirens, gunshots
your eyes as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a blood
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed 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 police as they kicked and beat her
she was beyond, tryin' to hold on
To life. She she'd live with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, held tight
They moved her room to room-she tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, every she got hit
"Who shot the trooper?" asked her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to her
Her mind raced till things got
Opened her eyes, realized she's to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they her, that's where she would be next
Hurt mixed wit was a reflex
They lied and denied visits from her
But she was building as they to destroy her
If it wasn't for this German they would of served her worse
I read this sister's story, that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that 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 Power and is beautiful
May God bless your

It seemed like the 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 morning
Uneasy as pushed 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 and centipedes
exercise, (paint?,) and begin to read
Two in a hole. Her soul grew weak
Away from so long she forgot how to speak
She freedom is a unspoken sound
And a wall is a and can be broken down
peace in the Panthers she went on trial with
One of the brothers she had a with
The foulness they would feed her, hopin she's her seed
Held tight, knowing the would live through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach bleed
Out of this a girl was conceived
Separated her, left to mother the Revolution
And lactated to attack
Cause federal and was built for a Black fate
Her emptiness was filled with beatings and dates
They fabricated cases, one would stick
And said she robbed that didn't exist
In the midst of threats on her and being caged with Aryan whites
Through dark halls of she carried the light
I wonder would happen if that would of been me?
All of this so we could be free.
Yeah, I often wonder what would 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 Power and Pride is
May God bless Soul

Yo
From North Carolina her would bring
that she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what they them to mean
What made them was the action in between
She dreamt that Assata was free in old house in Queens
The fact that always came true was the thing
had been convicted of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence shown she shot the gun
It's time for her to see the sun the other side
Time for her to be by her mother's side
Time for this Beautiful Woman to become soft
Time for her to breathe, and not be how or when
She untangled the and escaped the pain
How she broke out of prison I could never
And even to day they try to get to her
But free with political asylum in Cuba.

I'm thinkin' of Assata,
Listen to my Love, Assata,
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 askin' me about
me about freedom?
I'll be with you
I know a whole more about what isn't
Than about it is, cause I've never been free
I can only my vision with you of the future
About freedom 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 you want to do
