From slaves, to the ghetto, is what the school books have to say 
It hanging, above you 
Watch what the news has to say 
The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose 
The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose 
 
They killed Sandra in her cell then called it suicide 
New slave trade been performing genocide 
From the cotton field picking a bail
To being stripped and put in a cell 
Prisoners of the war on drugs 
The cycles vicious as hell 
I'll teach you to fish and then I wish you prevail 
Enough knowledge that could feed you for years 
Slavery never ended it just transformed 
Simply read the constitution for the answers 
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment For crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall Exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
So that's not a total abolition 
If it was there would be no exception 
But this country but was built on slave labor since conception 
 
From slaves to the ghetto is what the school books say 
It's always hanging above you 
Just watch the news today 
The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose 
The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose 
 
I'm a post traumatic slave 
Turned into a dope fanatic, crazed 
Hoping that my folks are at my grave 
On the that poke my fattest vein 
While they tell me get over latter days 
With a broken ladder
While a best friend stab me in the back with a broken dagger 
Old habits die hard but god gave me everything no mick jagger 
My pops was a Rolling Stone 
And I ain't talking pop culture magazines 
I'm trying to break the cycle 
This is vital to our basis survival 
No father but I made despite dude
I goal was to be nothing like you 
Don't want my kids to be stereotype too 
I'm trying to change the future 
So when my present is past 
I can live out my dream no Martin Luther 
King Jr 
I'm the prince where's my queen 
We're going back to Zemunda 
They didn't I'm royalty 

From slaves to the ghetto is what the school books say 
It's always hanging above you 
Just watch the news today 
The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose 
The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose 
 
Know the ledge 
Knowledge is power 
Knowledge of self is eternal and never will cower 
The system rigged against us but we never will bow to 
Those who will tell us it's bad to be proud of 
Our heritage melanin 
And the hair that grow from my head 
I'm Samson avoiding Delilah 
Looking for a Queen that won't assist my rivals 
So can built an empire like Luscious Lyons 
King descendants 
We never knew it 
Slavery and struggle is all they fed to us 
Black folks with no rights is all the read to us 
Then they sent the Feds to
To kill our leaders shot to head 
But they will never defeat us 
I'm waist deep in the water trying to tread through it 
Originators of all you see 
Made in the image of the creator of land and see you should've Knew it 

From slaves to the ghetto is what the school books say 
It's always hanging above you 
Just watch the news today 
The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose 
The new strange fruit don't fall far from the noose
