Let Billy holiday sings
Strange fruit…
Let me play her record
In 2024 right now
Since
Mississippi still wanna hang
Black bodies…
I heard…I heard
It doesn’t surprise me
Nobody wants to put it on
The news…well somebody is
Talkin about it…
A black boy
Hangin by
The bridge…
Yeah they sweep
That under a rug…
Cos racism is over
It’s never ever ever over
And you see why
Ida Bells has to write articles
About
Souls that look like her
With this tight rope
Around the neck….
It’s not suicide…
It’s a foul play…
And you see why
Black people are fuckin
Angry…YOU SEE WHY
BLACK PEOPLE
ARE ANGRY…
That could be my
Loved one….
I don’t wanna hear
A goddamn word about
It’s in the past…you ain’t got
No right it’s in your face
And it’s in mine…
America treated
Black people like shit…
America still lynched us
And nobody said a word
Except social media
Regular people are the news…
