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 with 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 I'm thinkin' of Assata, yes Listen to my Love, Assata, yes Your power and pride is beautiful May God bless your soul 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 freedom 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
