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 Assata
We make this movement towards
For all who have been oppressed, and all those 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
bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open flesh
No to rest, pain consumed each breath
Shot twice wit her up
questioned but shot before she answered
One Panther his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the were as they kicked and beat her
she was beyond, tryin' to hold on
To life. She thought she'd with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held
moved her room to room-she could tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, through her 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 friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her, that's where she would be
Hurt mixed wit anger-survival was a
They lied and visits from her lawyer
But she was building as they tried to her
If it wasn't for this nurse they would of served her worse
I read this story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what happen 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 bless Soul

It like the middle 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 inna
Uneasy as they pushed her to the second 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 to read
Two years in a hole. Her soul weak
Away from so long she forgot how to speak
She discovered freedom is a unspoken
And a wall is a and can be broken down
Found peace in the Panthers she on trial with
One of the brothers she had a with
The foulness would feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the would live through this seed
In of a doctor, from her stomach she's bleed
Out of this situation a girl was
from her, left to mother the Revolution
And lactated to hate
Cause federal and state was built for a Black
Her emptiness was filled with and court dates
They fabricated cases, one would stick
And said she places that didn't exist
In the midst of threats on her life and being with Aryan whites
Through halls of hate she carried the light
I wonder what happen if that would of been me?
All of shit so we could be free.
Yeah, I often 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 and Pride is beautiful
May God bless Soul

Yo
From North Carolina her would bring
News that she had had a
Her dreams meant 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 true was the thing
had been convicted of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence shown she couldna the gun
It's for her to see the sun from the other side
Time for her daughter to be by her side
Time for this Woman to become soft again
for her to breathe, and not be told how or when
She untangled the chains and the pain
How she broke out of I could never explain
And even to day they try to get to her
But she's free political asylum 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 your soul
power and pride, so beautiful
May God bless your

Freedom! You askin' me about
Asking me about
be honest with you
I know a whole more about what isn't
Than about what it is, cause I've never been
I can only share my vision you of the future
what 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
