Blood On The Leaves

[Intro: Nina Simone]

Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

Blood on the leaves

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

I just need to clear my mind now

It's been racin' since the summertime

Now I'm holdin' down the summer now

And all I want is what I can't buy now

'Cause I ain't got the money on me right now

And I told you to wait

Yeah, I told you to wait

So I'ma need a little more time now

'Cause I ain't got the money on me right now

And I thought you could wait

Yeah, I thought you could wait

These bitches surroundin' me (Black bodies)

All want something out me

Then they talk about me

Would be lost without me

We could've been somebody

Thought you'd be differеnt 'bout it

Now I know you naughty

So let's get on with it

[Verse 2: Kanye West & Nina Simone]

We could'vе been somebody

'stead you had to tell somebody

Let's take it back to the first party

When you tried your first molly

And came out of your body

And came out of your body

Running naked down the lobby

And you was screamin' that you love me

Before the limelight tore ya

Before the limelight stole ya

Remember we were so young

When I would hold you

Before the blood on the leaves

I know there ain't wrong with me

Something strange, happenin'

Uh, ah, ay ay

You could've been somebody

We could've, ugh, we could've been somebody

Or was it on the first party

When we tried our first molly

And came out of our body

And came out of our body

Before they call lawyers

Before you tried to destroy us

How you gon' lie to the lawyer?

It's like I don't even know ya

I gotta bring it back to the 'nolia

Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas

Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas

Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas

I ride with my niggas, I'd die for my...

Huh, huh, don't lose [?] love me (Strange fruit hanging)

From the poplar trees, from the poplar trees

[Outro: Nina Simone]

Black bodies, swinging in the Southern breeze

Breeze

Strange fruit, hanging

From the Poplar trees
