Текст песни A Song For Assata - Common
In
the
Spirit
of
God.
In
the
Spirit
of
the
Ancestors.
In
the
Spirit
of
the
Black
Panthers.
In
the
Spirit
of
Assata
Shakur.
We
make
this
movement
towards
freedom
For
all
those
who
have
been
oppressed,
and
all
those
in
the
struggle.
Yeah.
yo,
check
it-
There
were
lights
and
sirens,
gunshots
firin
Cover
your
eyes
as
I
describe
a
scene
so
violent
Seemed
like
a
bad
dream,
she
laid
in
a
blood
puddle
Blood
bubbled
in
her
chest,
cold
air
brushed
against
open
flesh
No
room
to
rest,
pain
consumed
each
breath
Shot
twice
wit
her
hands
up
Police
questioned
but
shot
before
she
answered
One
Panther
lost
his
life,
the
other
ran
for
his
Scandalous
the
police
were
as
they
kicked
and
beat
her
Comprehension
she
was
beyond,
tryna
hold
on
To
life.
She
thought
she′d
live
with
no
arm
That's
what
it
felt
like,
got
to
the
hospital,
eyes
held
tight
They
moved
her
room
to
room-she
could
tell
by
the
light
Handcuffed
tight
to
the
bed,
through
her
skin
it
bit
Put
guns
to
her
head,
every
word
she
got
hit
"Who
shot
the
trooper?"
they
asked
her
Put
mace
in
her
eyes,
threatened
to
blast
her
Her
mind
raced
till
things
got
still
Opened
her
eyes,
realized
she′s
next
to
her
best
friend
who
got
killed
She
got
chills,
they
told
her:
that's
where
she
would
be
next
Hurt
mixed
wit
anger-survival
was
a
reflex
They
lied
and
denied
visits
from
her
lawyer
But
she
was
buildin
as
they
tried
to
destroy
her
If
it
wasn't
for
this
german
nurse
they
woulda
served
her
worse
I
read
this
sister′s
story,
knew
that
it
deserved
a
verse
I
wonder
what
would
happen
if
that
woulda
been
me?
All
this
shit
so
we
could
be
free,
so
dig
it,
y′all.
(Cee-lo
vocals)
I'm
thinkin′
of
Assata,
yes.
Listen
to
my
Love,
Assata,
yes.
Your
Power
and
Pride
is
beautiful.
May
God
bless
your
Soul.
(Common)
It
seemed
like
the
middle
of
the
night
when
the
law
awakened
her
Walkie-talkies
cracklin,
I
see
'em
when
they
takin
her
Though
she
kinda
knew,
What
made
the
ride
peaceful
was
the
trees
and
the
sky
was
blue
Arrived
to
Middlesex
Prison
about
six
inna
morning
Uneasy
as
they
pushed
her
to
the
second
floor
in
A
cell,
one
cot,
no
window,
facing
hell.
Put
in
the
basement
of
a
prison
wit
all
males
And
the
smell
of
misery,
seatless
toilets
and
centipedes
She′d
exercise,
(paint?,)
and
begin
to
read
Two
years
inna
hole.
Her
soul
grew
weak
Away
from
people
so
long
she
forgot
how
to
speak
She
discovered
frredom
is
a
unspoken
sound
And
a
wall
is
a
wall
and
can
be
broken
down
Found
peace
in
the
Panthers
she
went
on
trial
with
One
of
the
brothers
she
had
a
child
with
The
foulness
they
would
feed
her,
hopin
she's
lose
her
seed
Held
tight,
knowing
the
fight
would
live
through
this
seed
In
need
of
a
doctor,
from
her
stomach
she′s
bleed
Out
of
this
situation
a
girl
was
conceived
Separated
from
her,
left
to
mother
the
Revolution
And
lactated
to
attack
hate
Cause
federal
and
state
was
built
for
a
Black
fate
Her
emptiness
was
filled
with
beatings
and
court
dates
They
fabricated
cases,
hoping
one
would
stick
And
said
she
robbed
places
that
didn't
exist
In
the
midst
of
threats
on
her
life
and
being
caged
with
Aryan
whites
Through
dark
halls
of
hate
she
carried
the
light
I
wonder
what
would
happen
if
that
woulda
been
me?
All
of
this
shit
so
we
could
be
free.
Yeah,
I
often
wonder
what
would
happen
if
that
woulda
been
me?
All
of
this
shit
so
we
could
be
free,
so
dig
it,
people-
(Cee-Lo)
I'm
thinkin′
of
Assata,
yeah.
Listen
to
my
Love,
Assata,
yeah.
Your
Power
and
Pride,
so
Beautiful...
May
God
bless
your
Soul.
Oooh.
(Common)
Yo
From
North
Carolina
her
grandmother
would
bring
News
that
she
had
had
a
dream
Her
dreams
always
meant
what
they
needed
them
to
mean
What
made
them
real
was
the
action
in
between
She
dreamt
that
Assata
was
free
in
they
old
house
in
Queens
The
fact
that
they
always
came
true
was
the
thing
Assata
had
been
convicted
of
a
murder
she
couldna
done
Medical
evidence
shown
she
couldna
shot
the
gun
It′s
time
for
her
to
see
the
sun
from
the
other
side
Time
for
her
daughter
to
be
by
her
mother's
side
Time
for
this
Beautiful
Woman
to
become
soft
again
Time
for
her
to
breathe,
and
not
be
told
how
or
when
She
untangled
the
chains
and
escaped
the
pain
How
she
broke
out
of
prison
I
could
never
explain
And
even
to
this
day
they
try
to
get
to
her
But
she′s
free
with
political
asylum
in
Cuba.
(Cee-Lo
vocals)
I'm
thinkin′
of
Assata,
yeah.
Listen
to
my
Love,
Assata,
yeah.
We're
molded
from
the
same
mud,
Assata.
We
share
the
same
Blood,
Assata,
yeah.
Your
Power
and
Pride,
so
Beautiful...
May
God
bless
your
Soul.
Your
Power
and
Pride,
so
Beautiful...
May
God
bless
your
Soul.
Oooh.
(Assata)
Freedom!
You
askin
me
about
freedom.
Askin
me
about
freedom?
I′ll
be
honest
with
you.
I
know
a
whole
lot
more
about
what
freedom
isn't
Than
about
what
it
is,
cause
I've
never
been
free.
I
can
only
share
my
vision
with
you
of
the
future,
about
what
freedom
is.
Uhh,
the
way
I
see
it,
freedom
is--
is
the
right
to
grow,
is
the
right
to
Blossom.
Freedom
is
-is
the
right
to
be
yourself,
to
be
who
you
are,
To
be
who
you
wanna
be,
to
do
what
you
wanna
do.
