For you Lady Day @ 100



Queen of the Blues Black Classic sound



Strange Fruit hangin above the ground



Black lives Matter then and now



we love the songs you gave



they handcuffed you to yr bed



on the way to your grave



sing Billie



yr songs for eternity



Lover Man, My Man



All of me



Yeah, why not take all of me



Sing Billie



from your heaven throne



God bless the child



that's got his own....
