Strange Fruit (Class of 2013)

They say Jasiri X you preach too much I'm like Black people we asleep too much A Black President but he doesn't speak for us Another Black body lynched is not unique to us Meanwhile Kanye's rocking confederate flags Jay Z and Barneys going half on sweaters and bags It's not their fault it's ours all we measure is swag They getting money get money what's better than cash Forever in last riding in Berratas and Jags but don't crash If you do and need help don't ask Cause all Renisha got was a shotgun blast Just for knocking on the door left rotting on the floor Half her face gone but no one was locked up like Akon Black life comes with no insurance like State Farm Race wrong black people better put ya brakes on End up on a strange porch ended up as stained corpse Different city same sport It's not a accident if you hit the witness you aimed for Bullets left her face torn Victim in a race war make a nigga hate more Show up at that same door let that 38 roar What will be my fate Lord death by an officer? Who I ran to thinking help he would offer up 10 shot to the chest stretched now they chalking Another black man looking fresh in that coffin or Beaten to my ribs cracked rolled up in a gym mat Blood on my kicks match police say I did that No crime the kids black cased closed casket shut But take his organs fill him with newspaper and patch em up Now tell me if that bullshit is matching up I know you just wanna see her twerking then back it up But that's what happens when we make our rappers leaders And our most intelligent just wanna be on TV speaking And they give reality TV shows to preachers And we think activism is Facebooking and Tweeting 12 years a slave we still fighting for freedom Just look at the headlines seeing is believing
