blood on the leaves

Dear uncle sam there goes my uncle nate

Strange fruit dangling that apple got a face

Eve bit the fruit and even Adam met his fate

Hang them out to dry because we know just how they taste

Raisin in the sun to bitter up the nectar

But juice doesn't matter when you understand the neter

The Gucci is even better when you understand the leather

And the length of craftmanship that money couldn't measure

Your front yard is the limit when your felon in a tether

Horus is a pidegeon when classified by feathers

Mike Brown was just thuggin and thugs don't value death

Eric garner sold squares so he must'n value breath

If youd sacrifice your kings and you mustnt value chess

If your logic is to hang the fruit because the juice is wet

Forget them in the sun like the history that was left

Away with the noose. Use that pendent on his neck

Suspended from the premise' fueled invention of the jects

Not to mention then the Tenents would dented out by debt

Or be penning of rememeberence serve a sentence out til death

If their sentence cause repentance gain some knowledge, get some depthn

Then well strip them of G E Ds then weights are coming next

Then the Voting registration, applications make em sweat

Whenconvictionion implication box is getting checked

You dismiss them cause the true victims in a basinet

So she WIC him in the system and you sitting round for checks

But momma raised a soldier. Gear: Berretta, no berets

Equip him with the soda make a pirex perouette

 

The word trappin is suggests of why the rodents never left

Try not to risk it, better pitch it to the minor on the step

No conviction, they may wrist him but he's coming out the net

He better hit the court. Not the kind that he just left

Its tragic. Shoot a basket. Get drafted out the jects

If these options ain't that popping: gp to school or be a vet

Either way you wanna put uncle Sam will take your left

Either way you wanna put it uncle Sam will take your left

 

If we look back to our roots and questlove plays a beat

Then our past will be or future but history won't repeat
