Strange Fruit (Class of 2013) Lyrics by Jasiri X

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
