what's really going on (strange fruit) - d'wayne wiggins lyrics

[intro]
tell me what’s really going on

[verse 1]
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

[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
i looked into my rearview
someone’s watching me and you
i knew it had to be the man (check it)
he told me, “turn your car off”
i was breaking no laws
so why’d you have to put your hands on me?

[chorus]
southern trees bear strange fruit (on me)
blood on the leaves, blood on the roots (oh yeah)
society bears no truth
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
(tell me what’s really going on)
southern trees bear strange fruit (going on, going on)
blood on the leaves, blood on the roots (going on)
society bears no truth
somebody 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 (yeah)
[bridge]
what’s cold is that we’re not even dealing with reality
what would happen if i was that joe blow 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)

[chorus]
southern trees bear strange fruit
blood on the leaves, blood on the roots
society bears no truth
tell me what’s really going on
(yeah, ooh, what’s really, 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

[outro]
hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
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
