Luyện nghe bài hát A Song for Assata

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

were lights and sirens, gunshots firing
Cover your as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air against open flesh
No room to rest, consumed each breath
twice wit her hands up
Police questioned but before she answered
One Panther his life, the other ran for his
the police were as they kicked and beat her
Comprehension she was beyond, tryin' to on
To life. She she'd live with no arm
That's it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to room-she could by the light
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 in her eyes, threatened to blast her
Her mind till things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's next to her friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her, that's where she would be
mixed wit anger-survival was a reflex
They and denied visits from her lawyer
But she was as they tried to destroy her
If it wasn't for this German nurse would of served her worse
I read this sister's story, that it deserved a verse
I wonder would happen if that would of been me?
All this so we could be free, so dig it, y'all

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

It seemed like the middle of the when the law awakened her
Walkie-talkies crackling, I see 'em they taking her
she kinda knew,
What the ride peaceful was the trees and the sky was blue
to Middle-sex Prison about six inna morning
Uneasy as pushed her to the second floor in
A cell, one cot, no window, hell.
Put in the basement of a prison wit all
And the smell of misery, toilets and centipedes
exercise, (paint?,) and begin to read
Two in a hole. Her soul grew weak
Away people so long 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 on trial with
One of the she had a child with
The foulness they would feed her, hopin lose her seed
Held tight, knowing the fight would through this seed
In need of a doctor, from her she's bleed
Out of situation a girl was conceived
Separated her, left to mother the Revolution
And to attack hate
Cause federal and state was for a Black fate
Her emptiness was with beatings and court dates
They fabricated cases, hoping one stick
And said she robbed places that didn't
In the midst of on her life and being caged with Aryan whites
Through dark halls of hate she the light
I wonder what would happen if that would of me?
All of this shit so we be free.
Yeah, I often wonder what would happen if would f been me?
All of shit so we could be free, so dig it, people

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

Yo
From North Carolina her would bring
that she had had a dream
Her dreams always meant what they them to mean
What them real was the action in between
She dreamt that was free in they old house in Queens
The fact that they always came was the thing
Assata had convicted of a murder she couldna done
Medical evidence she couldna shot the gun
time for her to see the sun from the other side
Time for her daughter to be by her mother's
Time for this Beautiful to become soft again
for her to breathe, and not be told how or when
She untangled the chains and escaped the
How she out of prison I could never explain
And even to day they try to get to her
But she's free political asylum in Cuba.

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

Freedom! You askin' me freedom
Asking me freedom?
I'll be with you
I know a whole more about what freedom
Than about what it is, cause never been free
I can only share my vision 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 you want to do
