In the of God
In the of the Ancestors
In the Spirit of the Panthers
In the Spirit of Shakur
We this movement towards freedom
For all those who have been oppressed, and all those in the
Yeah, yo, it

There were lights and sirens, gunshots
Cover your eyes as I describe a so violent
like a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open
No room to rest, pain consumed breath
Shot wit her hands up
questioned but shot before she answered
One lost his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the police were as they and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, tryin' to 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 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 things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, told her, that's where she would be next
Hurt 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 this German nurse would of served her worse
I read this sister's story, knew that it deserved a
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 is beautiful
May God bless Soul

It like the middle of the night when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em when they her
she kinda knew,
What made the ride was the trees and the sky was blue
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 basement of a wit all males
And the smell of misery, toilets and centipedes
She'd exercise, (paint?,) and begin to
Two years in a hole. Her soul grew
Away from people so long she forgot how to
She discovered freedom is a sound
And a wall is a wall and can be broken
Found peace in the Panthers she went on with
One of the brothers she had a with
The foulness would feed her, hopin she's lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach she's
Out of this a girl was conceived
Separated from her, left to the Revolution
And lactated to attack
federal and state was built for a Black fate
Her emptiness was filled with and court dates
They fabricated cases, one would stick
And said she robbed places that didn't
In the midst of threats on her life and caged with Aryan whites
Through dark of hate she carried the light
I what would happen if that would 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 could be free, so dig it,

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

Yo
From North Carolina her would bring
News that she had had a
Her dreams always meant what needed them to mean
What made them was the action in between
She dreamt that Assata was in they old house in Queens
The fact that they always true was the thing
had been convicted of a murder she couldna done
Medical shown she couldna shot the gun
It's time for her to see the sun the other side
Time for her daughter to be by her side
Time for this Beautiful Woman to become again
Time for her to breathe, and not be how or when
She untangled the chains and escaped the
How she out of prison I could never explain
And even to this day try to get to her
But she's free with asylum in Cuba.

I'm thinkin' of Assata,
to my Love, Assata, yeah
We're 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
me about freedom?
I'll be with you
I know a whole more what freedom 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 to grow, is the right to blossom
is is the right to be yourself, to be who you are
To be who you to be, to do what you want to do
