Luyện nghe bài hát Paul Robeson

You can wreck my name, me, stretch me on the rack
But I bow down to any man, be he white or be he black
Take away my passport, refuse to let me
But I not get down on my knees,
never gonna 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
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 down on our knees
Rise up, my brothers and sisters, we were to be free
to be free

You can call me a traitor but I my country
And I will not out it because of your hypocrisy
I refuse to hide behind the Fifth, I've no fear of
You always know exactly I am, so why don't you just
Come on 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 comrades and my
The poor and the dispossessed, the and the men
The great are only great we're down on our knees
Rise up, my brothers and sisters, we born to be free
Born to be

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

Close your halls to stop me
Close your to stop me speakin'
your kitchens to stop me eatin'
Close your to stop me sleepin'
But never 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 on our knees
Rise up, my brothers and sisters, we were to be free
to be free

These chains around my body are gonna hold me
And I refuse to be a in my own country
The are only great 'cause we're down 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 want to love it, but we must have the
to shout at the top of our voices our injustices, and we must lay the blame right where
it has belonged for three hundred years of slavery and misery - right here on our own doorstep.

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