lirik lagu chicot county summer – stik figa
huh wrote my uncle a letter and didn’t send it yet
know what they say, ain’t no sense of me pretending not
married a queen, i promised i’ll raise a princess
things ain’t that different, the difference is you got out the prison
the south east arkansas described as rich
folks here still surviving off the bible and grits.
hard work against poverty, the …
where pride kept me quantified in the dollars and cents
fireflies and night skies light aside of your biz
when the stores can’t guide you to a life of content
i long for the ride, at least i’ll be obliged to pretend
i got a taste for tomalleys and pies the size of a fish.
and that’s what i miss, the summer off from school
street endure the cool heat, waiting on a cool breeze
depreciate the simple things, sitting on a couch wing
outside with my daughter counting fireflies with me.
hook:
and i was raised better than i behave
pants is hanging off my -ss, my momma would be ashamed!
i watched my daddy work, never heard him complain
i watched my daddy work, i never heard him complain
but i was raised better than i behave
pants is hanging off my -ss, my momma would be ashamed!
i watched my daddy work, never heard him complain
i watched my daddy work, i never heard him complain
look, back home where slaves came off boats
…corn rose, and master shame they scold.
blessed … strange food, hangs from ropes
yet, i still say, n-gg-, it’s a shame, i know!
you ain’t got the answers yet, no clichés, no hopes
or some other catch phrase, just to chase that dough.
pray one day job medicate my soul
break the chains on my wrist, have them appraised in soul.
maybe this won’t get played on your radio,
maybe more folks gonna hear, even say this dope
the white came off the plain, now we’re slaying, we’re broke
the white came off the boat, we’re the new jim crow.
but i can’t play no role, this is game, just soul
the brave acknowledge the fear and still stay their course
you ain’t powerless, that’s coward, i been told to challenge it
all the truth inside my …
hook:
know that i was raised better than i behave
pants is hanging off my -ss, my momma would be ashamed!
i watched my daddy work, never heard him complain
i watched my daddy work, i never heard him complain
but i was raised better than i behave
pants is hanging off my -ss, my momma would be ashamed!
i watched my daddy work, never heard him complain
i watched my daddy work, i never heard him complain
