(strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees)
(blood on the leaves)
i just need to clear my mind now
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
(Bb)F
Yeah i told you to wait
So i'm a need a little more time now
Cause i ain't got the money on me right now
(Bb)F
Yeah, i thought you could wait
These bitches surroundin' me
All want somethin' out me
Then they talk about me
Would be lost without me
We could've been somebody
Thought you'd be different 'bout it
Now i know you naughty
(hold)
You could've 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 glory
i know there ain't wrong with me
(strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees)
Something strange is happening
You could've been somethin'
We could've, we could've been somebody
Or was it all our 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 lawyers?
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'll die for my
(repeat for the rap)
To all my second string bitches, trying to get a baby
(x2)
(just go back to the original chord sequence)
