lyrics

I turned on the television to watch the news,
they had killed another native son,
they shot him in the back while he was running for his life,
he didn't even have a gun,
this new strange fruit is growing out of Staten Island sidewalks,
and it blossoms out of traffic-stopped cars,
ain't nothing new about it though,
except a cell-phone video,
to show us where we were and where we are,
Goddamn,
they killed another native son,
with a knee on his kneck and a hand over his mouth,
in the streets of Minneapolis,
in the dirty dirty dirty south,
this new strange fruit is growing on the streets of Austin Texas,
and on the streets of Baltimore,
ain't nothing new about it though, except a cell-phone video,
to show some things are still the way they were before,
Goddamn,
they killed another native son
