Lyrical Analysis of...
STRANGE FRUIT
- I grew up in a city that was semi segregated,
- where most people are poor and uneducated,
- there's so many kids who truly never made it,
- and Katrina left all of New Orleans devastated,
- plus the city is mostly black so it's forever hated,
- so many people in the ghetto got them levitated,
- the justice system? Well the cops featherweight it,
- liberal bigots had tried to make clever statements,
- I'd rather listen to these ignorant right wing people,
- than these pseudo intellectual hipsters, the evil,
- is not necessarily locked within the population,
- it's rooted in the money that still locks the nation,
- stop debatin', we need to switch conversations,
- talk about race and class instead of profit makin',
- Strange Fruit since Billie Holiday had it quoted,
- dangerous streets, we need the guns unloaded,
- young innocent black men have to stop and freeze,
- it reminds me of the crops from the Poplar Trees,
- it reminds me of Marvin Gaye and Carson McRae,
- breathin' slow, ghetto air makes it harder to say,
- so many kids would later die, they'd never know it,
- life is blowin' in the wind, words of a clever poet,
- I've talked about this before, poison in the seeds,
- that grow those damned trees, blood on the leaves
