Raury
Blood On The Leaves (Acoustic Remix)
[Verse 1]
I just need to clear my mind now
It's been racin' since the summertime
Now 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
Now time's the only thing I can't buy now
Cause I ain't got the money on me right now
And I thought you could wait
Yeah, I thought you could wait
These bitches surroundin' me
All want something 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 not it
So let's get on with it

[Verse 2]
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
Before the blood on the leaves
I know there ain't wrong with me
Something strange is happenin'
[Verse 3]
See I was just seventeen in the summer
I had not met your mother
We had a flirtatious history and you invited me over
Spent the day, told me you and your mans was over
I should [?] a little closer as if I was casanova
Your bro's a smoker, he offered me the blunt
I was sober but it was summer so fuck it man, I was living
In living rooms and [?] intruded my lungs
And excuse my rudeness cause uhmm, I never even needed it
I mean that weed I hit, did not effect me
Cause you been there already, I was high off the vibe
And I felt so alive, so alive I could dive
Into shark infested waters and still somehow survive, I
Was infatuated, still my aspirations caught for [?] feel like gravitation
Deep, deep, deep within corners of my imagination, uhmm
And then the skies got cloudy
Even take [?] place to make me start doubting
If you felt the same way I felt about you
Or if the things I heard about summertime [?] were true
Cause yes I said I liked it but you never replied
But you would still flirt with me, just gave me some type of sign
That you were interested but boy was I ever wrong
I never forced it out of you, truth is really unknown
I'm going and I'm going, I'm gone, I'm going to miss ya
I'm gonna take the time to get you out of my system
Like paparazzi stalkers with camera, I get the picture
You never been feeling me at all, you're into my sister
And then the skies start thundering
Booming and [?] and I start wondering
Where is the sun? Had it abandoned me?
God dammit this is an algebraic problem
