If you know the story of Adam & Eve, you get the gist of the symbolism that’s going on here. Blake becomes one with nature as famous imagery like the serpent and the apple come in. There’s also a random frat boy stepping sequence for good measure.

[Verse 1]
We've been talking too long
So baby what is you on?
You say you got a man home
But he can't fight what he don't know
[Pre-Hook 1]
If you 'bout it
I be over there tonight
You can ride it
And I'mma make love to your mind
While I'm fuckin' you tonight
[Pre-Hook 2]
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
A little time and some privacy
Gettin' up on that late night creep
But tell nobody what we do
When we off on that strange fruit
You and me
A little time and some privacy
Gettin' up on that late night creep
But tell nobody what we do
When we off on that strange fruit
[Hook]
(Strange Fruit)
That, that, that strange fruit
(Strange Fruit)
That strange fruit
(Strange Fruit)
That strange fruit

[Verse 2]
Liquor got my mind gone
But I'm right where I belong
In your dirty thoughts I find home
That's the shit that I know
[Pre-Hook 1]
If you 'bout it
I be over there tonight
You can ride it
And I'mma make love to your mind
While I'm fuckin' you tonight
[Pre-Hook 2]
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
A little time and some privacy
Gettin' up on that late night creep
But tell nobody what we do
When we off on that strange fruit
You and me
A little time and some privacy
Gettin' up on that late night creep
But tell nobody what we do
When we off on that strange fruit
[Hook]
