[Intro: Billie Holiday]
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Blood on the leaves


[Verse 1]
I just wanna clear my mind now

It's been racin' since the summertime
And 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'mma need a little more time now
Cause I ain't got the money on me right now
And I thought you could wait

Yeah and I thought you could wait
These (*##$es 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
So let's get on with it


[Hook 1]
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

It came out of your body
It came out of your body
Running naked down the lobby

And you was screamin' that you love me
Before the limelight tore yah
Before the love life stole yah

Remember we were so young
Well now we're older
Before [?]

I know there ain't wrong with me

[Bridge]

Something strange is happening

[Hook 2]

We could've been somethin'
We could've ugh, We could've been somebody
Or was it all our first party

When we tried our first molly
It came out of our body
It came out of our body

[?]
Before they call lawyers
Before they tried to destroy us

How you gon' lie to reporters?
[?]
I gotta bring it back to the 'Nolia


$#&@ them other ^!$$%s cause I'm down for my ^!$$%s
$#&@ them other ^!$$%s cause I'm down for my ^!$$%s

$#&@ them other ^!$$%s cause I'm down for my ^!$$%s
I'll ride for my ^!$$%s, I'll die for my ^!$$%s


To all my second string (*##$es, trying to get a baby
Trying to get a baby, now you call me crazy
I don't give a damn if you used to talk to Jay-Z

He ain't with you, [?] Beyonce, you need to stop actin' lazy
She Instagram herself like "Bad (*##$ alert"
He Instagram his watch like "Mad (*##$ alert"

He only wanna see that $$# in reverse
Two thousand dollar bag of cash in your purse
Now you say [?]

[?]
'Til death do you part
Unholy matrimony
