Hanging Tree - Elijah Blake

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 purple

Black dollars black power

Spent on designers that

Don't give a d**n about you

I I ask 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

Shoo-doot

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 wanna be another seed

Underneath the hanging tree

Take these chains off me
