Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Robeson

You can wreck my name, vilify me, me on the rack
But I bow down to any man, be he white or be he black
Take my passport, refuse to let me travel
But I will not get on my knees,
You're never make me grovel
There's a lot more to democracy havin' a vote
I'm the equal here of any man, my people, let them go
chains around my body are never gonna hold me
And I refuse to be a slave in my own
The great are only great 'cause we're on our knees
Rise up, my brothers and sisters, we were to be free
Born to be

You can call me a but I love my country
And I will not out it because of your hypocrisy
I refuse to hide the Fifth, I've no fear of honesty
You always know where I am, so why don't you just
on over here and get me
You can tap my phone but there's one thing you never hear
'Cause the drumbeat of freedom wasn't meant for your ears
I'll never turn my back on my and my friends
The and the dispossessed, the women and the men
The great are only great we're down on our knees
Rise up, my brothers and sisters, we were born to be
Born to be

I stand here struggling for the rights of my people to be full in this country and they are not!

Close your halls to me singin'
your minds to stop me speakin'
Close your to stop me eatin'
your hotels to stop me sleepin'
But I'll turn my back on my comrades and my friends
The and the dispossessed, the women and the men
The great are only great 'cause we're down on our
up, my brothers and sisters, we were born to be free
Born to be

These around my body are never gonna hold me
And I to be a slave in my own country
The great are only great 'cause we're on our knees
up, my brothers and sisters, we were born to be free
Born to be

I am born and bred in this America of ours. I to love it, but we must have the courage
to shout at the top of our voices about our injustices, and we must lay the right where
it has for over three hundred years of slavery and misery - right here on our own doorstep.

My father was a slave, and my died to build this country, and I'm going to stay here and
a part of it just like you! And no facist-minded people will drive me from it--is that clear?
