White folks hung black people
White folks hung black people
Down south them crackers so evil
Aye they got away wit being so lethal
Payback gone come you'll see soon
For all the black lives you took
For all the black mamas that cried
For all the black fathers that died
To the hands of the white man's pride
We just want to get even
For centuries my people been grieving
Held captive buy you demons
The Bible say we bound to get even
Black bodies hanging from trees as
White people smile saying cheese with
No remorse instead they seem pleased with
Black bodies hanging from trees
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from tall trees
Blood on the leaves
Blood on yo hands white man death to you and yo klan
Cause yall hung black people
And yall slaughtered black people
Put chains on black people
We was free
And you brought us is here in chains
Well now we here
And you just better know
This is just as much our land as it is yours
And after you hang me
Kiss my ass
