jeff smith - virginia lyrics
(intro)
let’s continue to promote black on black crime
there is pure satisfaction from the united states watching these black savages using extreme force against one another
the last thing that america needs is some black messiah leading these negroes out of harm’s way
they will never be free here
godd-mnit, this is virginia
(verse one)
we had a rich history upon us, lived by a code of honor
before the devil stood amongst us
we used to trade with the europeans, they wanted gold, ivory and spices
before they pillaged us, became divisive
we even gave em slaves in them days
sk!lled in medicine and mathematics, we flourished with domestic trades
they needed more slaves cuz sugar was in high demand
they kidnapped us, transported us to foreign land
we were shackled in our p-ss and feces
sailing from our home on the good ship jesus
they would rape, k!ll and mistreat us
stomachs growling and they wouldn’t feed us, how the h-ll could they be god’s creatures
i saw fam get thrown overboard, black bodies drowned in the atlantic, and their ghost would soon swim to sh-r-
the route the ship took, the ghosts would soon do the same
today you might know them ghosts names as hurricanes
the lashes from the whip, on our backs we would wear it
our captivity was barbaric
they separated us from our children and our marriage
just pain and our master’s last name we inherit when we hit virginia
(hook)
the commonwealth state that’s full of hate is
virginia
kidnapped us from home and brought us straight to
virginia
f-ck what you heard cause ain’t no love in
virginia
cause we’re the strange fruit that shed blood in
virginia
(verse two)
imported by the british, and the dutch and portuguese
to make more slaves, they even ordered us to breed
then they separate us from our seed, it was illegal for us to read
we just live stock for whitey needs
they beat us all into submission
made us pray to their god, turned us all christian
took away our liberties and freedom
whoever rebeled was murdered if they didn’t beat em
a slave learned to read and preach the word
and the word spoke a revolution must occur
in jerusalem, he gathered up a few real ones to k!ll some
every white man and woman including their children
he was captured and hung in 1831 to say the least
they burned his body, and used his blood for wagon grease
they pushed fear upon us, mixed our race with no consent
then introduced us to willie lynch
we had no defense but white jesus, we’re singing hymns
while they’re colonizing our home for gems
so we wait for jesus return, so he can save us
but jesus was the ship they used to take us, so they could break us in virginia
(hook)
the commonwealth state that’s full of hate is
virginia
kidnapped us from home and brought us straight to
virginia
d-mn what you heard cause ain’t no love in
virginia
cause we’re the strange fruit that shed blood in
virginia
(verse three)
today, we remain disconnected from the motherland
programmed to hate, show no love to our brother man
disrespect our queens, but scared to challenge the government
we just continue to contribute to our own suffering
the body may be free but the mind still chained
and the ropes are off the trees, but my people still hang
the time they p-ssing out, and my people still slang
i’m talking football numbers, it’s all apart of the game
they import it to the docks, and distribute it to a figure
who can introduce it to some white trash or black n-gg-rs
build a case then go arrest all the meth and crack dealers
the whole system’s built from corruption
they create the tools that we use for our self destruction
we gotta get smart cause we ain’t never seeing reparations
just a bunch of colonizers promoting confederation
while we k!ll each other for dollar bills
they’re organizing tiki torch crackers in charlottesville
all of these white nationists with alt-right agendas
ol’ stephen “old” bannon to the young richard spencer
if you black, stray strapped cause these mothaf-ckas against ya
the shaping of american society was centered in virginia
(hook)
the commonwealth state that’s full of hate is
virginia
kidnapped us from home and brought us straight to
virginia
f-ck what you heard cause ain’t no love in
virginia
cause we’re the strange fruit that shed blood in
virginia
