Kanye West - Blood On The Leaves Lyrics
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Blood on the leaves
I just need to clear my mind now
It's been racin' since the summertime
Now I'm holdin' down the summer now
Breeze
And all I want is what I can't buy now
Blood on the leaves
'Cause I ain't got the money on me right now
And I told you to wait
Breeze
Yeah I told you to wait
Breeze
Blood on the leaves
'Cause I ain't got the money on me right now
And I thought you could wait
Breeze
Yeah, I thought you could wait
Breeze
These bitches surroundin' me
Black bodies
All want somethin' out me
Swinging in the southern breeze
Then they talk about me
Breeze
Would be lost without me
We could've been somebody
Strange fruit hanging
Thought you'd be different 'bout it
From the poplar trees
Now I know you naughty
From the poplar trees
So let's get on with it
We 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
Black bodies
Before the glory
Swinging in the southern breeze
Breeze
I know there ain't wrong with me
Strange fruit hanging
Something strange's happening
From the poplar trees
From the poplar trees
You could've been somebody
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 Nola
Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas
Black bodies
Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas
Swinging in the southern breeze
Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down with my niggas
Breeze
I ride with my niggas, I'll die for my
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
From the poplar trees
To all my second string bitches, trying to 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 Beyonce, you need to stop actin' lazy
She Instagram herself like "Bad bitch alert"
He Instagram his watch like "Mad rich alert"
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 going to that owing money that the court got
On and on that alimony
She got you homie
'Til death but do your part
Unholy matrimony
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
From the poplar trees
Breeze breeze
Blood on the leaves
Breeze breeze
Blood on the leaves
Breeze breeze
And breeze
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
From the poplar trees
Breeze breeze
Blood on the leaves
Breeze breeze
Blood on the leaves
Breeze breeze

Kanye West Blood On The Leaves Comments
Fuckin Beastmode
Hudson Mohawke is fucking incredible with the production on this track
Best song in my opinion that he’s made
This is the sickest song in the album to me..
Billie Holiday
This song got the same level of chaos as The Office "Dinner Party" episode 😂😂🐐
Top 2 songs all time
1:07 , was that the hardest drop of the decade???, idk another song that can compete
Kanyes voice change was so different but so good
Best way to describe this song... the runaway of yeezus.
Some of the best production
Lovingly dedicated to the people that I've loved - the gist of this music is this: YOU'RE DEAD TO ME :D hahahahah - M - #business #philosopher #author #hiphoplover
Strange Fruit- Common Ft John Legend 2009
Kanye dickriders screaming “genius” are pathetic.
I bet this is better and has nun to do with that
I bet this is better and has nun to do with that
Just now realising how hilariously dark the last line of the song is. "'Til death but do your part, uh, unholy matrimony". Never been through a divorce but the play on words mixed with the humor in this track paints a pretty solid picture of what it must feel like.
Ahead of its time as always.
2nd best song on his 2nd worst album
Fight me
Best song on his 2nd best album
the nina simone sample hits diffrent
HERE IN 2020‼️ 🤍👑
(&Never once believed Kanye was crazy)
Nobody:
This song: *REEE*
Yes yessssssssssss
Pure master piece
From the papá trees
The piano was so beautiful
That verse was after his trip to South Africa (Castle Light Unlock concert)
I can't even imagine what this shit is about but it slaps hahaha
Thank God for Drugs is really good!
I like listening to this song when I get all worried and stresed about stuff in my life specifically because 4:30 literally me to just breath, calm down and live and learn from whatever I am worried about.
*(79.28)*
2:56
The feeling
One of the most unexpected, hardest beat switches I have ever heard in my many years of listening to music
I swear I'm voting for him no matter what just in hopes that he changes the national anthem to one of his songs.
*ATROCIOUS*
god bless this track , FLAMES
Is any one else in 2020
E still trying to live and LEARN !

Brilliant.
I can't believe Kanye West is blatantly dissing Jay-Z and Beyonce so vulgarly in this track wow🤬
billie holiday
used to bop this song before Kanye made it a thing
Good lawd
Kanye west aka "the new devil on the block."
The drop literally just made me smile from the dopamine it filled my brained with.
Dalibor Beler Kanye’s production on this album is better than drugs
I wonder what would happen if Kendrick rapped to Kanye's production. Would the world end because perfection had been achieved?
Michael Kelly Listen to No More Parties in LA. Weirdly Ye’s verse is actually superior, which was unexpected.
Headed out deer hunting this morning. This is one of my deer hunting songs!!!🦌🦌🦃🦃
I know this is old but did he dissed jay z and beyonce?
Suliman Al Shammari no
Drink champs
K.D Garvey What’s this in reference to?
This is possibly the best hype music ever. A fucking banger indeed😩
I always wondered🤔.... did kanye dry Snitch on Jay Z in this song?? Because this came out a few years before Lemonade and 4:44
I love all ur songs
5:22 perfection
hanging from the 🅱️oplar trees
🅱️ on the leaves
this is marvelous. you get the depression straight into your veins
Dina Azem 😂😂😂
THIS SHIT GO HARD
5:28 is what you hear when you enter heaven
♥️♥️♥️
2019💕
Perfect divorce separation song
Perfect divorce separation song
I'm glad kanyes journey brought him closer to God. I still have demons that haunt me, which is why I'm here. This shit is lit.
Welcome to the party deadpool
No limit
billie holiday
“She Instagram herself like #BadBitchAlert
He Instagram his watch like #MadRichAlert”
I was not expecting 1:07
Always been a fan
Kanye and Kendrick are the greatest thing to have happened to rap
*B L E A C H*
I wanna go back to when I first heard that drop
HOF Drop for sure!!
Hiw i listen to dis in like 2013 2014 2015 n da shii say published 2018 like i was young hearin dis shii what he do upload in repist da song over n over?
Old is GOLD..
Classic!
yea, no..
This might be the craziest beat ever
Dam thats hard 2019
Did diplo sample this on welcome to the party
This is a killer song, no doubt about that. And Kanye may be a great artist. But for the people giving all the credit for this track to Kanye... you guys really should read the description.
to be fair kanye is known to credit anyone who even spoke to him in the process of writing/producing a song, but of course he didn't make the entire song himself
First minute of the song: Oh so this is gonna be like 808s....
Next four minutes: 😦
autotune on the beat <3XD
if this was the intro I feel the entire tone of the album would be different but there’s a reason Kanye is Kanye
1:38 emotion
Is it weird that I think Yeezus and Jesus is king are both God tier albums?
Leaky Butt Maybe. I don’t consider either to be great albums, even though Blood on the Leaves is one of the best songs ever made, in my opinion. I’d rank like four or five Kanye albums over those two.
Leaky Butt Yeezus is Kanye’s best solo album
This what influenced Travis Scott 💯
No cudi did 😂
Seeing as how many people have sampled Nina, it’s a sure testament of how much she has affected music.
Sample king
This song changed drums
Self-indulgent
This my fuckin jawn right here
this is fucked up. sampling a song about lynchings to rap about how bitches be trippin 😪
Alex Johnson-Fry I think you missed the point
It's Nina Simone's awesome version of Strange fruit. This is the thing that makes the song sound good. Now to call this work good is basically insane and somewhat disrespectful. The original song is about a subject that is very grim and real to very many people. Kanye is singing a bunch of stuff about his personal affairs and how some girls want to get pregnant by him.
Ellie Goulding is Drake's Poundcake song, she is the one thing that makes that song memorable. Her incredible vocal expression of emotions in the intro of the song Don't say a word is unparalleled. Blood on the leaves is distasteful. Sure you can give props on the mastering or beatmaking or something, but the very core idea of the original song should no be involved in this self-indulgent mess of a song. "Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots. Black bodies hanging in the southern breeze," followed by, "She instagram herself blabla, he instagram.... try to get a baby" Shit, tough to even repeat the bullshit lyrics.
one of the best songs from him,....
but the new album is only borning and have no message.... !!!
His instrument is remixed human voices and it’s pure genius...
Kanye West is pure genius, he has been light years ahead of us since the college drop out. Please stop disrespecting this mans craft. Please!
Everyone should read into the history of Billy Holiday and her original song called Strange Fruit... She's the one Kanye features for the singing.

Kanye was in agony.
it's november 2019 and this song is still a masterpiece.
Keesha Alyssa I love it more and more the older it gets. Truly ages like fine wine (like all of Kanye’s music).
Dec 1st made it through that wretched month
2020, man...
Always will be
And this is how Travis Scott was created.
before that, 808 and heartbreaks also birthed Travis
