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

There were lights and sirens, firing
Cover your eyes as I a scene so violent
like a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air against open flesh
No room to rest, pain each breath
Shot twice wit her up
questioned 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, tryin' to on
To life. She thought live with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, held tight
They moved her room to could tell by the light
Handcuffed to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, word 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 next to her best who got killed
She got chills, they her, that's where she would be next
mixed wit anger-survival was a reflex
They lied and visits from her lawyer
But she was building as they tried to her
If it wasn't for German nurse they would of served her worse
I this sister's story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that would of me?
All this shit so we could be free, so dig it,

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

It seemed like the middle of the night the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em when taking her
she kinda knew,
What made the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was
Arrived to Middle-sex Prison about six 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, seat-less and centipedes
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and to read
Two in a hole. Her soul grew weak
Away 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 they would feed her, hopin she's her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would live through seed
In of a doctor, from her stomach she's bleed
Out of this situation a girl was
Separated from her, left to the Revolution
And lactated to attack
Cause federal and was built for a Black fate
Her emptiness was filled with beatings and court
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 would happen if that would of been me?
All of this shit so we be free.
Yeah, I often wonder would happen 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 your Soul

Yo
From Carolina her grandmother would bring
that she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant they needed them to mean
What made them real was the action in
She dreamt that Assata was free in they old in Queens
The fact they 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 Beautiful Woman to become soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be how or when
She untangled the chains and the pain
How she broke out of prison I never explain
And even to this day try to get to her
But she's free political asylum in Cuba.

I'm of Assata, yeah
to my Love, Assata, yeah
We're molded the same mud, Assata
We share the Blood, Assata, yeah
Your and pride, so beautiful
May God bless your
Your and pride, so beautiful
May God bless your

Freedom! You askin' me about
me about freedom?
I'll be honest you
I know a more about what freedom isn't
Than about what it is, cause I've never free
I can share 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
