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

There lights and sirens, gunshots firing
Cover your eyes as I describe a so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air against open flesh
No room to rest, pain consumed each
Shot twice wit her up
Police questioned but shot she answered
One lost his life, the other ran for his
the police were as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, to hold on
To life. She thought live with no arm
That's what it like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to room-she tell by the light
Handcuffed to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, word she got hit
"Who the trooper?" they asked her
Put in her eyes, threatened to blast her
Her mind raced till things got
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 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 nurse would of served her worse
I read this sister's story, knew it deserved a verse
I wonder what would if that would 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 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 they taking her
she kinda knew,
What made the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was
to Middle-sex Prison about 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, seat-less toilets and
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and begin to
Two years in a hole. Her grew weak
from people so long she forgot how to speak
She discovered is a unspoken sound
And a wall is a wall and can be broken
Found in the Panthers she went on trial with
One of the brothers she had a child
The foulness would feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
Held tight, the fight would live through this seed
In of a doctor, from her stomach she's bleed
Out of situation a girl was conceived
Separated her, left to mother the Revolution
And to attack hate
Cause and state was built for a Black fate
Her was filled with beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one stick
And said she robbed places that didn't
In the midst of on her life and being caged with Aryan whites
Through halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder what would happen if would of been me?
All of this so we could be free.
Yeah, I often wonder what would happen if 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 bless your

Yo
From North Carolina her would bring
News she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what needed them to mean
What made them real was the in between
She dreamt that Assata was free in old house in Queens
The fact that always came true was the thing
Assata had been convicted of a she couldna done
evidence shown she couldna shot 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 chains and 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 of Assata, yeah
to my Love, Assata, yeah
We're from the same mud, Assata
We the same Blood, Assata, yeah
power and pride, so beautiful
May God bless soul
Your and pride, so beautiful
May God bless your

Freedom! You askin' me freedom
Asking me freedom?
be honest with you
I know a whole more about what freedom
Than what 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
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 what you to do
