[00:00.00] 作词 : Marlanna Evans/Mark Byrd/Lewis Allen
[00:00.62] 作曲 : Marlanna Evans/Mark Byrd/Lewis Allen
[00:01.24] Southern trees
[00:05.93] Bearing strange fruit (Bearing strange fruit)
[00:12.16] Blood on the leaves (Blood on the leaves)
[00:16.55] And blood at the root, check (And blood at the roots)
[00:20.98] So bleed
[00:23.06] Emit light, rap, or Emmett Till
[00:26.09] I drew a line without showing my body, that's a skill
[00:29.03] Bad to the bone and the grill
[00:31.47] You'd be dead wrong if looks killed
[00:33.68] I'm still on my spill, in the spirit of L. Hill
[00:36.24] Eye on the sparrow, nose like a pharaoh's
[00:39.35] Our bloodline trill for the young and all the lils
[00:42.20] We all gon' get mils
[00:43.54] Talk a lot of game but we get paid to like Jemele
[00:46.31] Was raised upon a hill, the valley's a sunken place
[00:49.60] I'm just tryna build like I came with some kettle weight
[00:52.46] Know I'm a god emcee, 'cause bitch, I made the devil wait
[00:55.38] 'Fore I brought hell, you ain't gotta tell me I'm hella great
[00:58.22] I don't speak on it nowadays, I just meditate
[01:01.32] Y'all can have the bars, bitch, I spit hard metal gates
[01:04.12] Henry Louis Gates when I cop me some new estate
[01:07.03] Make room for myself, I'm in a way different mental place
[01:10.15] I keep it real, all y'all look anime
[01:13.04] I'm fine like Anna Mae, black don't crack like Angela
[01:15.87] Black and brave like in the A, it don't come with apologies
[01:18.70] 'Less it's Tip and some Andre, when you greet me it's, "Namaste"
[01:21.56] Spread love the Brooklyn way or like marmalade
[01:24.60] No matter if you street street or more like the promenade
[01:27.50] We gotta come together like the corn and the dookie braids
[01:30.54] For the present and future days, I say what I gotta say
[01:33.33] I am Nina and Roberta, the one you love but ain't heard of
[01:36.20] Got my middle finger up like Pac after attempted murder
[01:39.08] Failed to kill me, it's still me,
[01:40.46] Woke up singing Shirley Murdock
[01:42.06] As we lay these edges down, brown women, we so perfect
[01:45.02] Went from field nigga to still nigga
[01:46.58] Being cropped out the picture
[01:47.88] But we all know who got the juice, my sisters
[01:50.99] Imitating us in all the Hollywood pictures
[01:53.63] And still, they'll never be us, bitch (damn)
[01:56.67] I'm from the back woods where Nina would
[01:58.71] Sing about the life we should lead
[02:00.12] A new dawn, another deed, I try to do some good
[02:02.82] I felt more damned than Mississippi was
[02:05.16] They deny Nina in Philadelphia
[02:07.24] And still we persevere
[02:08.43] Like all the 400 years of our own blood, Africa
[02:11.75] Old panthers lookin' back like who gon' come up after us?
[02:14.45] Outside the movies, I make sure before it move you
[02:17.45] It moved me, now bow down to a queen, please
[02:20.74] Survival
[02:26.97] Here's to the honey in you
[02:31.33] To the bittersweet in me
[02:32.89] I will shed this blood so romantically, so viciously quiet
[02:36.56] Here's to a moment of silence
[02:40.64] I've poured and poured my soul again, here's to epiphanies
[02:44.27] There was never a we
[02:46.41] There was you all and there was me
[02:48.24] In this war, likely to succeed
[02:49.91] Unlike me to surrender
[02:51.15] Trying and dying to breathe poetry to rise in the light of day
[02:54.28] To subconsciously exist cautiously ascending towards freedom
[02:58.13] Praying for a breather
[02:59.29] Do you see my pain?
[03:04.32] Do I seem like prey?
[03:06.89] Empathy be the reason you're still standing
[03:08.93] We are not the same
[03:10.05] I've lived more lives than you, I have less pride than you
[03:13.19] I'm extraterrestrial, I was created different
[03:16.82] I've been here many times before
[03:18.90] And I've never been defeated, and still
[03:24.82] I will never be defeated (Defeated)
