Strange Fruit.

I know you tired hunh?
You been a target too long you setting fire to one
That wasn't you at AutoZone was it?
I spotted one, undercover setting the trap for us, pouring gas on the tension like the dumb ass Potus
But u-n-i-t-y that’s a unity fueling me
King Latifah they're beating us brutally
Callous over time police malice nothing new to we, we march ‘cause they're abusing we
I'm not condoning lootin B but you can see why we're pissed you're silent you're complicit
The same ones quiet was wilin' when Kaepernick was kneelin’
Maybe we needed this time for the fact that it's revealing
I'm 'bout to blow my ceiling ask me what it's like to be a black man?
It's like before leaving the crib you gotta figure how you dressing
How you wear your hair, walk and your facial expression
Could be the reason Karen or some pig say you aggressive
And try to justify setting you up for the excessive
Force but it's really 'cause your skin dark complected
Hear passion in your voice, they make calls think they're reffin'
Yeah Drew our grand daddies was there too
Fought that war came home and couldn't even eat their food in the same room as the white people they fought to protect wanna know what’s disrespect? There the proof
I understand for you this shit's a breeze
You ain’t the only one with lack of empathy disease
It ain't just academic if it ain't legal to read
So when I tellin you that the story ain’t the same for me it ain't the same fool
Flag dripping black blood it'll stain you
That third verse of anthem needs to change too
You know the part that says no one can save the slave from the gloom of the grave fool?
That's saying we'll not only degrade you
And cage you police may shoot but stand there and be grateful
Kaepernick says injustice we'll just say the troops 2020 same lynching different made noose
