Lyrics

[Intro]

Say, say, say

Mm, say, say, say

Say a prayer for me

[Verse 1]

Strange fruit come down off the tree

Cut it down under your feet

Juicy fruit, so bittersweet

Fruit stand tall, these roots go deep

Strange fruit bussin' on these thieves

Ancestors don't take defeat

Left the scent of victory

In the air, tigress and tweed

Oh, Lenthéric, you carry it

I'm tired, grin, bear it

The truth of it's you carry the future

You and your chariots

[Chorus]

Say a prayer for me (Ah, ah-ah)

'Cause I don't get no sleep (Ah, ah-ah)

Say a prayer for me (Ah, ah-ah)

Mm, say, say, say (Ah, ah-ah)

Chariot

[Verse 2]

But I been rallyin' the troops

Chariots aflame in line behind my Masi' coupe

Damu at these roots

It's thick, too, made big fruit, big vibes

Always pressin' that line

So full of love and light

The truth is black and white

[Chorus]

Say a prayer for me (Ah, ah-ah)

'Cause I don't get no sleep (Ah, ah-ah)

Say a prayer for me (Ah, ah-ah)

Mm, say, say, say (Ah, ah-ah)

Say a prayer

[Outro]

Say, say, say

Mm, say, say, say

Say a prayer for me

Say a prayer
