Tell me what's really going on
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
Now me and my amigo
Went to a comedy show
To have a little fun with friends
Ran into a lady
Who I hadn't seen since
We chopped it up and made big plans
That's when I found out
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
I looked into my rearview
Someone's watching me and you
I knew it had to be the man
He told me, "Turn your car off"
I was breaking no laws
So why'd you have to put your hands on me?
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
What's cold is that we're not even dealing with reality
What would happen if I was that thug on the street?
I'm a man of peace but sometimes you gotta bring the heat
The only description I fit was that black man rolling down the street
Rolling down the street
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
Tell me what's really going on
Tell me what's really going on
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
Society bears no truth
Tell me what's really going on
