Hanging Tree - Elijah Blake

[00:13.55]Who's that man I see
[00:19.10]Underneath the hanging tree?
[00:24.32]He looks just like me, so tell me, am I really free?
[00:33.12]Coulda been my mother crying for my brother
[00:41.10]And everybody, everybody, everybody's praying for peace
[00:48.78]But who's gonna protect us from the police?
[00:52.81]Keep these chains off me
[00:59.32]Cause I don't wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree
[01:04.12]Pray for me
[01:09.11]Lord, don't let me be another seed underneath the hanging tree
[01:16.21]Brands on our bodies (the color of fruit)
[01:23.11]Color of purple fruit (Shoo-doot)
[01:28.22]Power of the purple (black power, black power)
[01:33.42]Spent on the side and \"don't give a damn about you\"
[01:39.32]I, I ask sometimes
[01:43.41]Am I just living to die? (Living to die)
[01:50.12]Cause the way they do my kind
[01:53.14]I just wanna cry
[01:57.15]Chains off me
[02:02.23]I don't wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree
[02:07.43]Pray for me
[02:12.65]Lord, don't let me be another seed underneath the hanging tree
[02:37.73]Take these chains off me, free me
[02:44.51]I don't wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree
[02:48.12]Take these chains off me, free me
[02:54.31]Lord don't wanna be another seed underneath the hanging tree
[02:58.24]Take these chains off me
