Luyện nghe bài hát Jackie Robinson

Luther Jackson Green lived in the apartment me.
We smoked cigarettes on the stairs, me stories that the white boys never hear.
Like he found this sign, he moved North in 1949.
On his 10th birthday took him to town to the Jackie Robinson play.
It was a picture day, in the sunshine and the hate.
He didnt understand why all those people would say awful things.
His daddy said pay no attention to them, and watch the man play.
The one man in the baseball field was better in every way.
My daddy said if you wanna win in this world, you gotta beat em at the game.
Jackson Green went to law school in 1963.
In the summer between he worked in Alabama with Luther King.
He met a girl on a summer night; he fell hard when they saw each eyes.
There were people in town that really didnt that he was black and she was white.
They found her in the ditch, a little outside of town; some stupid man was about it,
so Luther beat him down. He looked him in the eye, spit in his face and and walked away.
He he was better than all the hate!
He knew he was than all the pain!
He knew that theres a to fight and a time to walk away!
He knew until he changed the rules, ohh they beat em at the wrong game!
He never did that feeling inside.
You could hear it in his voice; you see it in his eyes.
Luther moved out West to live, when his passed away.
He lives next door to his son, so he can watch his grandchild play.
Luther Green, watched election night with me.
We put a black man in the White House, a he never thought hed see.
Even though he cried, I could see tears in his eyes.
He had dreamed this moment, every single day of his life.
Yeah died that night in his sleep, but he lived long enough to see,
America become the of place he always wanted it to be.
He said you could never forget the day, that we beat em at the game!
Yeah just like Jackie Robinson. (Just like Robinson!)
Gotta be bigger all the hate! (Just like Jackie Robinson!)
Gotta be better than all the pain! (Just like Robinson!)
Gotta a better way! (Just like Jackie Robinson!)
Gotta beat em at the wrong game! (Just like Robinson!)
Gotta beat em at the wrong game! (Just like Robinson!)
Gotta beat em at the game! (Just like Jackie Robinson!)
(Just like Robinson!)
