They ain't have to do em like that Body in the street Said he stole from the store roun the block, went up in his pocket and they found the receipt They ain't have to shoot em in his back Didn't listen to commands All he said to the officer is I am not ya boy please do address me as a man (Boom boom boom) from the loaded gun Single mother of a child took her only one Standing at the trial with the officer who did it Heard the verdict started crying ain't surprising got acquitted History tell the story of being prejudice Life only fair for the fair-skinned It don't even help we're American The wall keeps in all the terrorists here at home Raisin in the sun Blood on the leaves Mother of the Earth Burying a black King Strange fruit hanging From the Poplar trees Still we singing, change gon come Even though we don't see it And I got my hands up Don't shoot! I ain't even got a gun shoot a brotha if he stay even if he gotta run That was just the other day ain't no further that we came So I got my hands up yelling! Don't shoot! I'm reaching for the stars They shooting at my arms if I stretch too far, shooting at my back if I get too far Get too far I've gotta be an actor in a suit For these crackers and I've gotta hide the truth For the next eight hours I forget all my roots Outta fear co-workers might hang me from a neuse Overtime they den got so used to the mask that I wear they start thinking that it's cool To talk about blacks gettin shot on the news Looking to me to agree with their insensitive views I'mma black man Worried bout getting home safely Trigger happy cops got guns off safety Can't find who they want then I know they gon frame me Something go missin then I know they gon blame me Pretty steep price for the land of the free, a price that we pay with our flesh We ain't really living til the day we see Heaven We really ain't alive til the day we meet death Raisin in the sun Blood on the leaves Mother of the Earth Burying a black King Strange fruit hanging From the Poplar trees Still we singing, change gon come Even though we don't see it And I got my hands up Don't shoot! I ain't even got a gun shoot a brotha if he stay even if he gotta run That was just the other day ain't no further that we came And I got my hands up yelling! Don't shoot! Reaching for the stars They shooting at my arms if I stretch too far, shooting in my back if I get too far If if I get too far Can you hear me now? I've been crying out Can you hear me now? I've been crying out Can you hear me now? I've been crying out Can you hear me now? I've been crying out All I need, is to be, is to be Be Free Raisin in the sun Blood on the leaves Mother of the Earth Burying a black King Strange fruit hanging From the Poplar trees Still we sing, change gon come Even though we don't see it And I got my hands up Don't shoot! I ain't even got a gun shoot a brotha if he stay even if he gotta run That was just the other day ain't no further that we came And I got my hands up yelling! Don't shoot! I'm reaching for the stars And they shooting at my arms if I stretch too far, shooting at my back if I get too far If I get too far Can you hear me now? I've been crying out Can you hear me now? I've been crying out
