(Verse 1: Peace) See, strange fruit comes from strange roots It's a shame; why we afraid of truth? ...Truth is, while people we wanna be hangin' In the streets and brag about all the dope we be slangin' I'm maintainin', even though it gets deep I often wonder, why my people so weak? Some nights I can't sleep, I should be restin' my mind Waking up from nightmares of us hangin' like vines To me, it's a mystery Seems like, some cats repeatin' history I got a question: why we hate each other so much? Another question: why we don't wish each other good luck? Ridin' in my truck, I be bumpin' them oldies "Young, Gifted and Black"; that's what Hathaway told me And my parents showed me, how to act properly And that's why I know I ain't gotta be (Chorus: 'Drea and Danny!) (Strange fruit) I ain't ashamed to say it I don't think that we advancin', black People still be plantin' that (Strange fruit) I don't know what it is That made us tolerate this hatred for so many years I'm talkin' (Strange fruit) Down here, where the mansions' at You can find 'em where the branch is at Take a glance at that (Strange fruit) Can somebody please Tell me what's goin' on? What's goin' on... (Verse 2: Danny!) Yo, what do you mean I can't Get this hotel room? For those of y'all just tunin' in, I'm fumin' again I'm on tour with two of my friends, we zoomin' again From city to city, we sippin' on Peruvian gin But now we sippin' from the cup of reality A couple legalities are bein' broken I know this ain't right How you gon' tell me I can't get this hotel room tonight? When I talked with you befo' on the phone, you was nice Now I'm here in the flesh, and I guess that you see That my skin colour just isn't what you thought it would be Now is it? ... Look at me when I'm talkin' to you You don't really wanna get hit with a lawsuit, do you? You told me it was vacant When makin' the reservation Now after seein' my face Your racism is blatant I hate to say it but damn...it's hard enough bein' a black man You treatin' me different because I'm black, man? (Chorus: 'Drea and Peace)
