Blood on the Leaves Kanye West
CAPO 5
[Intro: Nina Simone]
[F]Strange fruit [E7]hangin'[Am] from the poplar trees[Em] [Am]
[Am]Blood on the leaves
[Verse 1]
[Am]I just need to clear my [C]mind now
It's been racin' since the [F]summertime
Now I'm holdin' down the summer [E7]now
And all I want is what I can't buy [Am]now
Cause I ain't got the money on me [C]right now
And I told you to [F]wait
Yeah I told you to [E7]wait
So I'mma need a little more time [Am]now
Cause I ain't got the money on me right [C]now
And I thought you could [F]wait
Yeah, I thought you could [E7]wait
These b**ches surroundin' [F]me
[E7]All want something out [Am]me
Then they talk about [Em]me[Am]
Would be lost without [F]me
We could've been somebo[E7]dy
Thought you'd be different 'bout[Am] it
Now I know you n[Em]ot [Am]it
So let's get on with it
[Verse 2]
[Am]We could've been somebody
[C]'stead you had to tell somebody
[F]Let's take it back to the first party
[E7]When you tried your first molly
[Am]And came out of your body
[C]And came out of your body
[F]Running naked down the lobby
[E7]And you was screamin' that you love me
[Am]Before the limelight tore ya
[C]Before the limelight stole ya
[F]Remember we were so young
[E7]When I would hold you
[Am]Before the blood on the l[C]eaves
[F]I know there ain't wrong with [E7]me
Something strange is happenin'
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
f**k them other niggas cause I'm down with my niggas
f**k them other niggas cause I'm down with my niggas
f**k them other niggas cause I'm down with my niggas
I ride with my niggas, I'd die for my...
[Verse 4]
To all my second string b**ches, try and get a baby
Trying to get a baby, now you talkin' crazy
I don't give a damn if you used to talk to Jay Z
He ain't with you, he with Beyoncé, you need to stop actin' lazy
She Instagram herself like #Badb**chAlert
He Instagram his watch like #MadRichAlert
He only wanna see that ass in reverse
Two-thousand-dollar bag with no cash in your purse
Now you sittin' courtside, wifey on the other side
Gotta keep 'em separated, I call that apartheid
Then she said she impregnated, that's the night your heart died
Then you gotta go and tell your girl and report that
Main reason cause your pastor said you can't abort that
Now your driver say that new Benz you can't afford that
All that cocaine on the table you can't snort that
That goin' to that owin' money that the court got
All in on that alimony, uh, yeah-yeah, she got you homie
'til death but do your part, unholy matrimony
[Outro]
That summer night holdin' long and long, 'din long
Now waiting for the summer rose and (breathe)
And breathe and breathe
And breathe and breathe
And breathe and breathe
And live and learn
And live and learn
And livin' and livin' like I?m lonely
Lonely, lonely
And livin' all I have
And livin' all
And live
And live
