Woke up this morning Mourning, strange fruit To the sound of black reign To the sound of black reign Feels like the news Is always bout looting And never 'bout nuses Oh are we a nuisance Our death amusing to you Woke up this mourning Had Trail Mix Salted chocolate eyes And strange fruit With blood on the roots (Root root) Blood on the root (Root root) Blood on the root My real eyes realize Your white lies Realize the price Of a melamine demise (Cha Ching cha Ching) What do I do (What do I do?) Tried to peaceful (So peaceful) I'm losing my cool I'm bout to shoot shit up Was talking to God when I loaded that block And then shit got popping He didn't stop me Oh What have I done What have I done Aye moe My melamine cost just about 350 a muthafuckin' gram That's 35 times this dime I rolled up for me and my man Now I ain't the type to politic about money trees and the means for Uncle Sam But my tax revenues personified what odds it means to be a man In America nuses and strings are a predator Oppressing through the means of my character And I'm trailing through the dreams of inheritors You telling me that in my heritage And yes & my hair it is plated From an escape route Destined for a North Star At a safe house Let me tell you story about a little boy Originated in Chicago He was murdered for what I know At 14 never knew what could follow A white lie At least that's what the white lady decides And when she was caught off guard by a black boy It was strange fruit hanging another black life lost And now we're 2020 And tell me ain't shit changed in 2020 And tell me ain't shit changed in 2020 And tell me ain't shit changed in 2020 Real life mutha'f*ck what oppressors say, Child of God in Disguise Issa resume Was talking God (You know who the f*ck I was talking to moe) Was talking to God (Aye kill moe) Lord please have mercy on me (Have mercy on my muthafuckin' soul) This Mourning is weighing heavy on me (Child of God in Disguise) I admit it I admit it Swear to God I fucking did it Didn't mean it but I did (But I did, and I'm telling you right now) Swear to God it felt so good (I'm feeling loose in this muthafucka')
