Strange Fruit" Southern trees Bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves And blood at the roots Black bodies Swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hangin' From the poplar trees Pastoral scene Of the gallant south Them big bulging eyes And the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia Clean and fresh Then the sudden smell Of burnin' flesh Here is a fruit For the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the leaves to drop Here is Strange and bitter crop

In her words lie the map to our sad history, in the melody sounds the pain of lives lost, in the pain lies the truth, in the pain there we lie, left to hang back then, still being hung today. Blood on the leaves then, Blood on the streets now. The scent of gunpowder in the air as bullets dissect the body of an innocent boy, the taste of injustice as his killer escapes untouched, his soul leaves his body as God looks down and weeps, a mother is left to face this cold world, another black life joins the angels in the sky. Another strange fruit paying the price for seeds sown by force and watered by hate. "I can't breathe" a man utters, as he looks death in the eye and can only imagine the pain he will leave behind as his neck is strangled by deep rooted hate for a colour he did not choose, his six kids flash before his eyes as he begs for air to breathe, but they care not for fruits they do not need, stepped on and trampled as if there is no worthy soul in his vessel, a man takes his last breathe as the world watches, injustice committed in plain daylight, unfortunately he's a few shades too dark for lady liberty to care. "I can't breathe" no "we can't breathe" they want to choke us all out, but this time the world wouldn't allow ropes, so they use their hands and aim at us tools that take life and cause pain, all while playing images on the screen that make the world think we deserve it. Blood flows as anger grows, for you see the seeds you sowed and watered with hate, violence, rape, slavery, has now grown into a tree itself. We will have no more...no more fruits will be hung from your trees, for now we have a voice and we will be heard, change will come.

@@tyronegibbins913 no it’s disrespectful. Thai song is about the lynching of black people in the south. The people who sang songs like these who harassed and sometimes assassinated by the FBI. Look up Billie Holiday. It’s very disrespectful to rap about fucking women and killing folks while sampling a song about the killing of innocent black people in the south. Tbh I really didn’t care about it cuz that shit was 🔥 🥵

I mean respect to kanye for having a good ear and taste using this as a sample but its crazy how many comments are about his genuis while listening to this track. You are literally listening to nina simone possibly the most and definitely one of the most incredible female African American artists of all time doing a beautiful rendition of billie holidays incrediby deep and moving song "strange fruits"...yet most the comments i see are about kanye, it just doesnt make sense to me. I dont want to bag on your taste in music and im not saying the song kanye sampled this into was bad by any means, but if you truly believe its an improvement on either this version or the original you may just need your head checked.
