    ..YOUNGBLOOD..

    They think they killed you
    But I saw you yesterday,
    standing with your hands in your pocket
    waiting for the real deal to go down.
    I saw you smiling your "fuck it" smile,
    blood in your eyes,
    your heart pumping freedom
    Youngblood!

    They think they killed you.
    But I saw you yesterday
    in the playground.
    Black skin, sweaty, shiny
    hurling your ball bomb into the hoop
    right on target.
    Won't be no game next time
    cause you ain't hardly playing.

    They think they killed you.
    But I saw you yesterday
    with your back against the wall,
    muscles bulging against the chains,
    eyes absorbing truth.
    Lips speaking it.
    Heart learning how to love.
    Head learning who to hate.
    Blood ready to flow
    towards freedom.
    Youngblood!

    Youngbloods ain't got no blood to waste
    in no syringes, on no barroom floors,
    in no strange lands
    delaying other Youngbloods' freedom.
    We don't need no tired blood.
    No anemic blood. No blood clots
    in our new body.

    They think they killed you.
    But i saw you yesterday.
    All them youngbloods
    musta gave you a transfusion.
    All that strong blood.
    All that rich blood
    flowing through your veins
    toward tomorrow.

About me:

THIS IS A DEDICATION TO ASSATA AND *NOT* ASSATA ON MYSPACE!

 This space is dedicated to raising awareness about our revolutionary, artist, writer, activist, mother, grandmother Assata Shakur *AND IS NOT ASSATA* herself. This space is also dedicated to raising awareness about the new dangers posed to Assata by the recent attacks against her by the US government. Our hope is that word of the Hands Off Assata Campaign will spread like wildfire, on myspace and everywhere, and that support for her will grow exponentially, keeping Assata safe and inciting further mobilization to free all political prisoners and repressed communities worldwide.

"There is something about Sundiata that exudes calm. From every part of his being you can sense the presence of revolutionary spirit and fervor. And his love for Black people is so intense that you can almost touch it and hold it in your hand." --Assata Shakur
