i remembered it from watching tales in the hood, and that "black bodies hanging from a southern tree" clicked about what was being talked about

Loved that line and song ever since I first heard it.

That's why I could never understand why some cats said the album was weak lyrically.

That whole song is so underrated. It's a very layered song with a lot of meanings in it.

He did say he wants to rhyme like Common Sense.

Just like that Fred Hampton line
