Sampling Billie Holiday's classic song 'Strange Fruit', the song highlights the parallels between traditional racism - where black people could be lynched by paramilitary mobs like the KKK - and the modern systemic racism where black people can be legally lynched on the orders of appointed officials. Forward against the racist system, by any means necessary. LYRICS [Intro] Another lynching has gone down in the US And it's 2011. Nothing has changed. [Chorus] What up Troy, I can't believe they actually did it man To tell the truth they ain't never gone kill you man You live forever in the hearts of those who fought for ya You fought for us, you gave us strength like a true soldier [Rodstarz verse] I feel the pain, I feel the anger and I raise to show it I hit the streets and spread the word so the world knows it I'm sorry we didn't save you Shoulda been braver But at times I feel alone when I'm surrounded by these strangers 2009 we first spoke, after I met Martina I got the shirt but since then I haven't really seen her Been on the road with these raps just tryin a spread a message But when I think about our talks they were such a blessing You was in jail reading your poems on the phone And all I did was just listen, back stage of the show Then I heard the crazy news about a week ago That the date had been set and they wanted you to go 11.08pm, September 21st Never forget, my inner being still hurts Obama stayed quiet, like he did for Oscar Grant Clarence Thomas b**ch ass never gave you a chance See, you was innocent, there was too much doubt 7 of 9 witnesses wanted their testimony out They was scared, police threats, serious like cancer But you know it wasn't true, years later they recanted I wish I had the answer what to do next Gotta do more than tweet, Facebook and send texts We need freedom, organise like Zulu Feel the pain of injustice even tho I never knew you [Chorus] What up Troy, I can't believe they actually did it man To tell the truth they ain't never gone kill you man You live forever in the hearts of those who fought for ya You fought for us, you gave us strength like a true soldier [G1 verse] They still lynching from plantations to the prisons Methods changed but it's the same system White robes used to burn a crucifix Now black robes sign a death sentence Instead of Jim Crow and legal segregation It's yuppie condos and cuts to education And I ain't gotta say it Troy, you said it in your last letter Thanking your supporters worldwide for they past efforts More than half a million signed them petitions The pope, the archbishop, stars and politicians A who's who on Twitter weighing in like Mayweather But what happens to my bro after the storm let up New day Pray you in a better place Over here we coping, tryin a channel that rage To abolish these legal lynchings, abolish they broken system Abolish the need for prisons, in defence of the human spirit [Chorus] What up Troy, I can't believe they actually did it man To tell the truth they ain't never gone kill you man You live forever in the hearts of those who fought for ya You fought for us, you gave us strength like a true soldier http://www.globalfaction.com/   / globalfaction
