Luyện nghe bài hát Jackie Robinson

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