Thank you darling
I've got a song for you right now
Real smoky too

It was the only choice, easy to decide
Cry or be mean, I swore never to give in
I won't draw you a picture, you felt my distress
I prefer to follow my destiny, I leave you the keys to the palace

Billie Holiday, I've got the blues like Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday, I've got the blues like Billie Holiday
Here, it's not a series
The sharp fangs, yo, they've all clenched

Intoxication of promises, pour me another
I'm getting used to it, stronger with each fight
Intoxication of promises, pour me another
Stronger, prouder, colder

Niggas, you know it, the sums are colossal and for the eyes, it's the same
I hear them, those who hate us, tell them that for us, it's the same
Pow, pow, I'm a man, no one impresses us
I'm with her but I'm all alone, alone like in my shroud
What a life? They've all gone crazy
Or maybe it's me, anyway, I'm misunderstood
I'm pissed, I'm hungry like in my early songs when I had no home
When I only had friends, at the beginning, when I didn't have a dime in my pockets

Billie Holiday, I've got the blues like Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday, I've got the blues like Billie Holiday
Here, it's not a series
The sharp fangs, yo, they've all clenched

Intoxication of promises, pour me another
I'm getting used to it, stronger with each fight
Intoxication of promises, pour me another
Stronger, prouder, colder

Because I was broke, you said I signed with the Devil (hey)
It pissed me off so I insulted your mom (hey)
The hands were in the dirt, they were made for the diamonds (hey)
I got out of the dirt and I thank my God every day (every day)

Billie Holiday, I've got the blues like Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday, I've got the blues like Billie Holiday
Here, it's not a series (no)
The sharp fangs, yo, they've all clenched

Take me to the land of light
Take me to the land of light
Take me to the land of light
Take me to the land of light
Take me to the land of light
Take me to the land of light
Take me to the land of light
Take me to the land of light
