Hanging Tree |
| Who’s that man I see |
| Underneath the hanging tree? |
| He looks just like me |
| So tell me, am I really free? |
| Coulda been my mother, crying for my brother |
| And everybody, everybody, everybody’s praying for peace |
| But who’s gonna protect us from the police? |
| Keep these chains off me |
| 'Cause I don’t wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree |
| Pray for me |
| Lord, don’t let me be another seed underneath the hanging tree |
| Brands on our bodies (The color of fruit) |
| Color of purple fruit (Shoo-doot) |
| Power of the black dollar (Black dollars, black dollars) |
| Spent on designers that don’t give a damn about you |
| I, I wonder sometimes |
| Am I just living to die? |
| (Living to die) |
| 'Cause the way they do my kind, I just wanna cry |
| Chains off me |
| I don’t wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree |
| Pray for me |
| Lord, don’t let me be another seed underneath the hanging tree |
| Take these chains off me |
| Free me |
| I don’t wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree |
| Take these chains off me |
| Free me |
| Lord don’t let me be another seed underneath the hanging tree |
| Take these chains off me |
