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

were lights and sirens, gunshots firing
Cover your eyes as I a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a blood
bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain consumed breath
Shot wit her hands up
Police but shot before she answered
One lost his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the police were as they kicked and her
Comprehension she was beyond, to hold on
To life. She she'd live with no arm
what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to room-she could tell by the
tight to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put to her head, every word she got hit
"Who the trooper?" they asked her
Put mace in her eyes, to blast her
Her mind raced till things got
Opened her eyes, she's next to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her, that's where she would be
Hurt wit anger-survival was a reflex
They and denied visits from her lawyer
But she was building as tried to destroy her
If it for this German nurse they would of served her worse
I read this sister's story, that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would if that 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 and Pride is beautiful
May God bless Soul

It seemed like the middle of the night when the law her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em when they 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 they pushed her to the floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, hell.
Put in the basement of a prison wit all
And the smell of misery, seat-less toilets and
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and to read
Two in a hole. Her soul grew weak
Away from people so long she forgot how to
She discovered is a unspoken sound
And a is a wall and can be broken down
Found peace in the Panthers she on trial with
One of the brothers she had a child
The foulness they would feed her, hopin she's her seed
tight, knowing the fight would live through this seed
In of a doctor, from her stomach she's bleed
Out of this situation a girl was
Separated from her, left to mother the
And to attack hate
Cause federal and state was for a Black 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 midst of threats on her life and being with Aryan whites
dark halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder what would if that would 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 shit so we be free, so dig it, people

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

Yo
From North Carolina her would bring
News that she had had a
Her dreams always meant what they needed them to
What made them was the action in between
She dreamt that Assata was free in they old in Queens
The fact that they came true was the thing
had been convicted 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
Time for her to be by her mother's 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 broke out of prison I could never
And to this day they try to get to her
But she's with 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 power and pride, so
May God your soul
power and pride, so beautiful
May God your soul

Freedom! You askin' me about
me about freedom?
I'll be honest you
I know a whole about what freedom isn't
Than about what it is, cause I've never been
I can only my vision with you of the future
About freedom is
Uh, the way I see it
Freedom is, is the right to grow, is the to blossom
is is the right to be yourself, to be who you are
To be who you want to be, to do you want to do
