[Intro]
Yeah
When—
When the sun, when, when the sun goes—
When the, when the sun, when the sun, when the sun goes down
When the sun, when the sun goes down
When the sun, when the sun, sun—
[Chorus]
When the sun goes down, ayy
And ain't no light on that side
You better run (Run)
You better run, ayy
When the stars come out
And ain't no light on that side
You better run (Run)
You better run
[Verse]
Strangе fruit hangin', blood on the leaves
Dirt on my hands, blood on my sleevеs
Doors won't open, mud on the keys
I'm tired of prayin', blood on my knees
Can't imagine the trauma seein' blood on your seed
At the burial ground, shoveling mud on your seed
Channel 2 News showin' all your bad deeds
Strange fruit hangin', it's from all the bad seeds
[Refrain]
Deprived of the water, deprived of the sun
Deprived of the land, deprived of the gun
Deprived of your rights, deprived of your fun
When it's dark on this side, better run
[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
And ain't no light on that side
You better run (Run)
You better run, ayy
When the stars come out
And ain't no light on that side
You better run (Run)
You better run
[Refrain]
Deprived of the water, deprived of the sun
Deprived of the land, deprived of the gun
Deprived of your rights, deprived of your fun
When it's dark on this side, better run
Better run
[Outro]
(Run, run)
When it's dark— (Run, run)
When the sun, when the sun—
When the sun goes— (Run, run)
When the sun— (Run, run)
When the sun goes down (Run, run)
You better, you, you—
You better—
You better (Run, run), you better— (Run, run)
You, you better run
