kelby - strange fruit (black blood) lyrics

[verse 1: kelby]
martin had a dream
but it seems that it’s been slept on
to a nightmare, we got barack
so the marches just stop right there?
trayvon was shot, then the frame was swapped
charges dropped, he was seen as a villain
got kids on the block, and they’re tried as adults
three strikes and they’re out, tell me who does the k!llin’?
plantations and blood on the poplars
private prisons, wearing cotton jumpsuits
they can take a life, but can’t take our soul
haunted by the ghost of jim crow
see that strange fruit’s a beautiful person
stuck in a system that’s working against them
but it’s not broken it was built that way
“we the people” really wasn’t meant that way
rest in power those p-ssed away
from lynch mobs or hogs that protect the state
of white property and those that pay
‘cus if garner looked like me he would be okay
justice ain’t blind, if you rewind
see what made this state of mind
white america forgot, but not that long ago
lapd was the slave patrol
black blood, like nothing happened
but raise h-ll on affirmative action?
brown was shot, they ask what he was rappin’
body lay in the streets while his character’s -ss-ssinated
davis died, what record was playing?
2pac? two shots? man that’s all he got?
at least that man’s behind bars for life
so i just spit these bars cus i can hardly write

[chorus: young west tantrum] x2
we ain’t asking why, we already know
we just supposed to die, we ain’t supposed to grow
strange fruit, strange fruit
deranged youth, blame who?
