Luyện nghe bài hát Jackie Robinson

Luther Jackson Green in the apartment above me.
We smoked cigarettes on the stairs, tell me stories that the white boys hear.
when he found this sign, he moved North in 1949.
On his 10th daddy took him to town to the Jackie Robinson play.
It was a perfect day, in the sunshine and the hate.
He didnt understand why all people would say such awful things.
His daddy said pay no attention to them, turnaround and the man play.
The one black man in the field was better in every way.
My daddy if you wanna win in this world, you gotta beat em at the wrong game.
Luther Jackson Green went to law in 1963.
In the between he worked in Alabama with Martin Luther King.
He met a girl on a summer night; he fell when they saw each others eyes.
There were people in town really didnt like that he was black and she was white.
They found her in the ditch, a outside of town; some stupid man was blastin about it,
so Luther beat him down. He looked him in the eye, spit in his face and turned and away.
He he was better than all the hate!
He knew he was than all the pain!
He that theres a time to fight and a time to walk away!
He knew until he changed the rules, ohh yeah they em at the wrong game!
He never did lose that inside.
You could it in his voice; you could see it in his eyes.
Luther moved out West to live, when his wife away.
He lives right next to his son, so he can watch his grandchild play.
Luther Green, watched election night with me.
We put a black man in the House, a thing he never thought hed see.
though he never cried, I could see tears in his eyes.
He had dreamed about this moment, every day of his life.
Yeah Luther died that night in his sleep, but he lived enough to see,
America become the kind of place he always it to be.
He said you could never forget the day, we beat em at the wrong game!
just like Jackie Robinson. (Just like Jackie Robinson!)
Gotta be bigger than all the hate! (Just like Robinson!)
Gotta be than all the pain! (Just like Jackie Robinson!)
Gotta find a way! (Just like Jackie Robinson!)
Gotta beat em at the wrong game! (Just like Robinson!)
beat em at the wrong game! (Just like Jackie Robinson!)
Gotta beat em at the wrong game! (Just like Robinson!)
(Just Jackie Robinson!)
