Blood On The Leaves Lyrics - Kanye West

1 '''Nina Simone:'''

2 Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

3 Blood on the leaves

4 '''Kanye West and Nina Simone:'''

5 I just need to clear my mind now

6 It's been racin' since the summertime (Breeze)

7 Now I'm holdin' down the summer now (Breeze)

8 And all I want is what I can't buy now (Blood on the leaves)

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

10 And I told you to wait (Breeze)

11 Yeah, I told you to wait (Breeze)

12 So I'mma need a little more time now (Blood on the leaves)

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

14 And I thought you could wait (Breeze)

15 Yeah, I thought you could wait (Breeze)

16 These bitches surroundin' me (Black bodies)

17 All want something out me (Hangin' in the summer breeze)

18 Then they talk about me (Breeze)

19 Would be lost without me

20 We could've been somebody (Strange fruit)

21 Thought you'd be different 'bout it (Hangin')

22 Now I know you not it (From the poplar trees)

23 So let's get on with it (From the poplar trees)

24 We could've been somebody

25 'Stead you had to tell somebody

26 Let's take it back to the first party

27 When you tried your first molly

28 And came out of your body

29 And came out of your body

30 Running naked down the lobby

31 And you was screamin' that you love me

32 Before the limelight tore ya

33 Before the limelight stole ya

34 Remember we were so young

35 When I would hold you

36 Before the blood on the leaves (Black bodies hangin' in the summer breeze, breeze)

37 I know there ain't wrong with me (Strange fruit hangin')

38 Something strange is happenin' (From the poplar trees)

39 (From the poplar trees)

40 '''Kanye West:'''

41 You could've been somebody

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

43 Or was it on the first party

44 When we tried our first molly

45 And came out of our body

46 And came out of our body

47 Before they call lawyers

48 Before you tried to destroy us

49 How you gon' lie to the lawyer?

50 It's like I don't even know ya

51 I gotta bring it back to the 'nolia

52 '''Kanye West and Nina Simone:'''

53 Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas (Black bodies)

54 Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas (Hangin' in the summer breeze)

55 Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas (Breeze)

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

57 (From the poplar trees)

58 (From the poplar trees)

59 '''Kanye West:'''

60 To all my second string bitches, try and get a baby

61 Trying to get a baby, now you talkin' crazy

62 I don't give a damn if you used to talk to Jay Z

63 He ain't with you, he with Beyoncé, you need to stop actin' lazy

64 She Instagram herself like #BadBitchAlert

65 He Instagram his watch like #MadRichAlert

66 He only wanna see that ass in reverse

67 Two-thousand-dollar bag with no cash in your purse

68 Now you sittin' courtside, wifey on the other side

69 Gotta keep 'em separated, I call that apartheid

70 Then she said she impregnated, that's the night your heart died

71 Then you gotta go and tell your girl and report that

72 Main reason 'cause your pastor said you can't abort that

73 Now your driver say that new Benz you can't afford that

74 All that cocaine on the table you can't snort that

75 That goin' to that owin' money that the court got

76 All in on that alimony, uh, yeah-yeah, she got you homie, yeah

77 Till death but do your part, uh, unholy matrimony

78 '''Nina Simone:'''

79 Black bodies hangin' in the summer breeze, breeze

80 Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

81 Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

82 '''Kanye West and Nina Simone:'''

83 That summer night holdin' long and long (Breeze), 'din long (Breeze)

84 Now waiting (Blood on the leaves) for the summer rose and (Breeze)

85 And breathe and breathe (Blood on the leaves)

86 And breathe and breathe (Breeze, breeze)

87 And breathe and breathe (Black bodies hangin' in the summer breeze)

88 And live and learn (Breeze)

89 And live and learn (Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees)

90 And livin' and livin' like I'm lonely, lonely, lonely (From the poplar trees, from the poplar trees)
