hanging tree - elijah blake lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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?

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
[?] on our bodies (the color of fruit)
color of purple fruit (shoo-doot)
power of the purple (black power, black power)
spent on the side and “don’t give a d-mn 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

[chorus]
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

[bridge: backing singers]
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
