Strange Fruit
Pete Rock

Subliminal thug-ism, rap mysticism

For all my niggas locked with life in state prison

We combinate, like dime piece and sperm jizm

Queens niggas going to trial, just sit and listen

Fake crooks come in all types of categories

Beat you in the head with lies and war stories

Claiming that they name ring bells in territories

With Fat Cat, Al Capone, Scarface

Meanwhile, they going to trial for rape case

You weak, I punch you in face, cut your face

You halfway, wanna-be thug, stay snitchin'

Latin King, surgery-type with face stitchin'

The house game [unverified] missile style [unverified] play in the kitchen

Allow me a God for real, Sallah position

Performers, weak convicts you shouldn't fool wit

They foul, snitchin' on the niggas they went to school wit

But now, you catch them in the club on some smooth shit

Shuh pow! Blow 'em out the frame on some prove shit

I'm not the type of cat you wanna fool wit

It's strange fruit

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

A yo, the world plant seeds in my mind, then it's dart time

They used to be crime, scary hours, robberies, and big chrome nines

In Park Hill, when the cameras don't never be off

I live inside the TV, these words is hot sauce

Put your mind back together, Killa Bees, of course

Church in the studio life you can't abort

Pete Rock and Don make the world pay child support

You under arrest for giving out stress, I'm not settling for less

Each bags [unverified], midtown, in the wild, wild west

Representin' some deep impact

Aluminum Wu bat, I got it like dat, slang combat

I plant two seeds in your head, kid stand back

What, what, what

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

Nigga you know better, I blow three thru ya [unverified] sweater

Fuck what you think, I'm bustin' you blink

Nigga see me in the club, start ducking and tucking they link

Like I resorted to robbing niggas for table scraps

In the hood, we do away with cats

And in the river with throw away the gats

Everywhere I go, turn crime scene

Know what I mean? [unverified]

Don't make me trip, make me flip

Be so much bloodshed, you think I'm a Crip

Even before I signed the contract, always was respected

Couldn't give a fuck if a sold another record

I ain't in it for the cream as wild as it seem

Battle me and win? Haha hah, not in your dreams

I'm still a young nigga, straight up dumb nigga

For no apparent reason, pull out the gun nigga

It's not the drugs nigga, I just a thug nigga

So whatcha wanna swallow

Your pride or your blood nigga?

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth

The world plant seeds in my mind, strange fruit

Survivalist, basing my life on rap loot, it's the truth
