lyrics

STRANGE FRUIT NUMB

IF YA STROLL AND YA ROLL WITH HATE
YA GONNA FIND OUT THAT ITS NOT THAT KIND
GRAVITATIONAL PULL ON YOUR WEIGHT
RAW WIDE OPEN AFLAME
EXPRESSIONLESS FACES THAT NEVER SEE
UNTIL IT HAPPEN TO YOU
YA GONNA SIT
CHANGES TAKE TIME BUT I’M NOT THAT DUMB
GET YA FEAR OUT MY FACE
CAUSE THAT LOOKS LIKE A GUN

I GOT MY HANDS UP
YOU PUT YOUR HANDS UP
WE KEEP OUR HEADS UP YA

(ANSWERS CAN’T BE REACHED WHEN THEIR TAKEN IN BLOOD)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
(ANGER NEEDS A PLACE TILL I CAN GET IT TO LOVE)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
(SHOT ME DOWN WITHOUT A WEAPON AND I COULDN’T RUN)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
CAN YOU DO IT?

THINKING YOUR STRANGE FRUIT NUMB
WITH THAT BLOODY FINGER PRINT ON YOUR THUMB
CAUSE IT HAPPEN TO THEM
YOU NEVER STAND UP
VIOLENCE OR SILENCE IS NOT THE ONLY CHOICE
YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT OF MY VOICE

I GOT MY HANDS UP
YOU PUT YOUR HANDS UP
WE KEEP OUR HEADS UP YA

(ANSWERS CAN’T BE REACHED WHEN THEIR TAKEN IN BLOOD)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
(ANGER NEEDS A PLACE TILL I CAN GET IT TO LOVE)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
(SHOT ME DOWN WITHOUT A WEAPON AND I COULDN’T RUN)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER INTO LOVE?

I GOT MY HANDS UP
YOU PUT YOUR HANDS UP
WE KEEP OUR HEADS UP YA

I GOT MY HANDS UP
YOU PUT YOUR HANDS UP
WE KEEP OUR HEADS UP YA

(ANSWERS CAN’T BE REACHED WHEN THEIR TAKEN IN BLOOD)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
(ANGER NEEDS A PLACE TILL I CAN GET IT TO LOVE)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
(SHOT ME DOWN WITHOUT A WEAPON AND I COULDN’T RUN)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER INTO LOVE?
(TRY MUTHAFUCKER TRY)
CAN YOU REACH IT?
(CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?)
I KNOW YOU CAN
(CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?)
I KNOW YA CAN

MY MY
YEAH
MY MY
CAN YA TURN?
(ANSWERS CAN’T BE REACHED WHEN THEIR TAKEN IN BLOOD)
CAN YOU TURN MY ANGER INTO LOVE?
(ANSWERS CAN’T BE REACHED WHEN THEIR TAKEN IN BLOOD)
CAN YA TURN MY ANGER TO LOVE?
TRY MUTHAFUCKER TRY MUCHAFUCKER TRY
(TRY MUCHA FUCKER TRY)
CAN YOU REACH IT?
(TRY MUCHA FUCKER TRY)
CAN YOU REACH IT?
(TRY MUCHA FUCKER TRY)
CAN YOU REACH IT
(TRY MUCHA FUCKER TRY)
OH YA
(TRY MUCHA FUCKER TRY)
OWW
(TRY MUCHA FUCKER TRY)
OWW
(TRY MUCHA FUCKER TRY)

about

Brad Brooks image

Brad Brooks Oakland, California

Brad Brooks is that rare quadruple threat of writer, player, singer, and performer.
His songs combine the melodic sensibility of Elvis Costello, the best instincts of Wilco and Brian Wilson, the orchestral sophistication of Queen, along w/the Stonesy/Bowie gritty edges of rock/soul.
"If you're anything like me, you need some good news. Brad Brooks' music is that good news”……….Wayne Kramer ... more
