Lyrical Analysis of...
Strange Fruit Collab (Lucifer feat. Justin and Emmz)
- //VERSE 1 (Lucifer):
- 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
- //VERSE 2 (Justin):
- Pointless fatalities over nationality,
- Romans 2:11 for god shows no partiality
- when it comes to race we often have the wrong mentality
- judging from someone's race is now a normality
- you're a different color and people act as if it's an genetic abnormality!
- I don't understand what's wrong with the world today
- and all I have to say is thank god were able to say that there's such thing as a martin luther king day
- racism bullets being shot in every which way
- I don't even wanna know what kinda results we would get
- with a exploratory survey
- about racism, we would have little agreements in a big way!
- people judge others based on their pigments under their skin
- ignoring the fact that it's a serious sin
- all looking at each other like we're wearing animal skin!
- Back in the day the south showed no mercy for blacks
- Work the asses off and the owners the one with money stacks
- No time to relax, one false move and they get multiple whip attacks
- Everybody shutters as they hear the whip cracks
- In america we have the most races but we still so bias
- People acting racist even though they act so damn pious
- But that's just how america is
- Racism interferes with shit like government and showbiz
- Stupid racist jokes can surprise you like a pop quiz
- White, black, purple, green
- Don't matter bout the color we all the same and there is no in between
- And how the fuck do these racist actions go unseen?!
- //VERSE 3 (Emmz):
- A country preachin' ideals of all breeds of people bein' equal
- Except the niggers and the women and the whites who aren't regal
- It's been aligned throughout our time, prophecized just like Ezekiel
- Because the case plainly states that slavery was just the prequel
- The evil thinkin' proceeded even when they were freed
- Without the whips and chains it's still displayed the ways that they would bleed
- Bigots beat 'em, impede 'em, even insult with means so cheap
- Like "Don't let 'em 'round our women" cuz we own women like things
- Bashin' blacks and trashin' "faggots" sadly will not go out of fashion
- Civil Rights are like Wolverine's claws, eventually they get retracted
- And the impact of these actions, a moral atlas assassin
- There's bitter masses established while you just twitter and hash it
- I embrace these statements beyond the place of a plain voter
- I am the slave who hanged his hateful male owner
- I am the gays who say that straights can straight blow them
- I am the dame who breaks the face of her mate who became an ogre
