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

There lights and sirens, gunshots firing
Cover your as I describe a scene so violent
like a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain each breath
twice wit her hands up
Police questioned but shot she answered
One Panther his life, the other ran for his
Scandalous the police were as they kicked and her
Comprehension she was beyond, to hold on
To life. She thought live with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, held tight
They moved her room to room-she could tell by the
Handcuffed tight to the bed, through her it bit
Put guns to her head, word she got hit
"Who the trooper?" they asked her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to her
Her raced till things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's next to her best friend who got
She got chills, they told her, that's she would be next
Hurt wit anger-survival was a reflex
They lied and visits from her lawyer
But she was building as tried to destroy her
If it wasn't for this German nurse they of served her worse
I read this sister's story, that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that of been me?
All this shit so we could be free, so dig it,

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

It seemed the middle of the night when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em when taking her
Though she knew,
made the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was blue
Arrived to Middle-sex Prison about six morning
as they pushed her to the second floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, hell.
Put in the of a prison wit all males
And the of misery, seat-less toilets and centipedes
exercise, (paint?,) and begin to read
Two years in a hole. Her soul grew
Away from people so she forgot how to speak
She freedom is a unspoken sound
And a wall is a and can be broken down
Found peace in the Panthers she went on with
One of the brothers she had a child
The foulness they would feed her, hopin she's lose her
Held tight, knowing the fight would live this seed
In need of a doctor, from her stomach she's
Out of this situation a girl was
from her, left to mother the Revolution
And to attack hate
federal and state was built for a Black fate
Her emptiness was filled beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, one would stick
And said she robbed places that didn't
In the midst of on her life and being caged with Aryan whites
Through dark of hate she carried the light
I wonder what happen if that would of been me?
All of this so we could be free.
Yeah, I often wonder what would happen if that would f me?
All of this so we could be free, so dig it, people

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

Yo
From North her grandmother would bring
News she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what they them to mean
What made them was the action in between
She dreamt that Assata was free in they old house in
The fact they always came 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 mother's
Time for Beautiful Woman to become soft again
Time for her to breathe, and not be how or when
She the chains and escaped the pain
How she broke out of I could never explain
And even to day they try to get to her
But free with political asylum in Cuba.

I'm thinkin' of Assata,
to my Love, Assata, yeah
We're molded from the mud, Assata
We the same Blood, Assata, yeah
power and pride, so beautiful
May God bless soul
power and pride, so beautiful
May God your soul

Freedom! You askin' me about
me about freedom?
I'll be honest you
I know a whole more about what isn't
Than what it is, cause I've never been free
I can only share my with you of the future
About what is
Uh, the way I see it
is, is the right to grow, is the right to blossom
Freedom is is the to be yourself, to be who you are
To be who you want to be, to do what you to do
