Another lynching
This time
It's in new York
And you see why
We black people
Need to be violent
Not marchin….

Maybe we should hang
A white man on a tree
Along with his family
And hide our bloody hands
Behind our backs just to see
How white America feels…

We can call it a suicide…
Leave it as that
The way they did to us…
No questions,
Make them suffer

But we don't think about
That, we don't think of strikin
Back as we should…we want to do
It back yet deep down it's our
Conditions cos we fear and
Forgive, it's also our hearts of
Humanity that we don't do such a
Thing…which is confusin yet it's not
An excuse…

Lynchings are still happenin
Today…. 2025…
Nobody's speakin
Except a few people care…
History is a disc track
With scratch
When it plays
It continues to repeat
Again and again…

A black man
In his 50s
Hung on a tree
In Albany new York

You think
It's in the past
The past claims today's lies
You know damn well
Racism hasn't gone anywhere
What the hell are you talkin about?

Trees remember
Black bodies
Dead
They still swing…
Why do you think
Billie Holiday sang that song
In the first place?
