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 who have been 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
Seemed a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, consumed each breath
Shot twice wit her up
Police but shot before 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 she'd with no arm
That's it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to could tell by the light
tight 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 got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's next to her friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her, 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 this sister's story, knew that it a verse
I wonder what would if that would 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 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 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, toilets and centipedes
exercise, (paint?,) and begin to read
Two years in a hole. Her grew weak
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
peace in the Panthers she went on trial with
One of the she had a child with
The foulness they would feed her, hopin she's her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight live through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach she's
Out of this a girl was conceived
Separated her, left to mother the Revolution
And to attack hate
Cause federal and was built for a Black fate
Her was filled with beatings and court dates
They cases, hoping one would stick
And said she robbed places that didn't
In the of threats on her life and being caged with Aryan whites
Through dark of hate she carried the light
I wonder what would happen if that of been me?
All of this so we could be free.
Yeah, I often wonder 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 your Soul

Yo
From North her grandmother would bring
News she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what they needed to mean
made them real was the action in between
She dreamt that was free in they old house in Queens
The fact that they always true was the thing
Assata had been convicted of a murder she couldna
Medical evidence shown she couldna the gun
It's time for her to see the sun the other side
Time for her daughter to be by her mother's
Time for 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
Listen to my Love, Assata,
molded from the same mud, Assata
We share the same Blood, Assata,
power and pride, so beautiful
May God bless soul
Your and pride, so beautiful
May God your soul

Freedom! You askin' me freedom
Asking me freedom?
be honest with you
I know a whole about what freedom isn't
Than about what it is, cause I've never 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 right to
is is the right to be yourself, to be who you are
To be who you want to be, to do what you to do
