Poem - Just a breath of Freedom (4 Nelson Mandela)

by Tupac Shakur - from 'the rose that grows from concrete'

Just a breath of Freedom (4 Nelson Mandela)


Held captive 4 your politics
They wanted 2 break your soul
They ordered the extermination
of all minds they couldn't control
4 u the fate was far worse
than just a brutal homicide
They caged u like an animal
and watched u slowly die inside
As u Breath your first air of freedom
On the day you became a free man
Raise your Regal Brown in Pride
4 now you R in God's Hands
The life of many were given
So that day would one day come
That the devils in Power in Pretoria
would pay for the evil crimes they've done.
