Tigress & Tweed
[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 theives
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, madе big fruit, big vibes
Always pressin' that line
So full of lovе 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
