The Leaves

(album: Demun - 2019)

I got a long drive way that ain't never been paved and it's hidden in some tall pine trees
I got a old healer dog that knows how to bark and he ain't never seen no leash
Grown by the land you can tell by hands and the blood running through these streams
Yeah I'm rooted in the earth in the middle Georgia dirt in a place where I won't be seen
Hidden in the leaves

I got a 50round drum loaded up kinda scary
Unfold my AR9 flip the setting to binary
I'm spitting double double time Trijicon shines bright
The red dot never lies when it says goodnight
You better think before you move cause my yard ain't the spot
To show up with something to prove trespass and get shot
Papa bear don't take chances when it comes to the cubs
If we talking kinfolks it ain't nothing but love
You won't even see them county boys crawling up out the leaves
Quietly like the breeze blending in with the trees so please
Don't take this personally, just watch your step
This is a warning, not a threat

I got a long drive way that ain't never been paved and it's hidden in some tall pine trees
I got a old healer dog that knows how to bark and he ain't never seen no leash
Grown by the land you can tell by hands and the blood running through these streams
Yeah I'm rooted in the earth in the middle Georgia dirt in a place where I won't be seen
Hidden in the leaves

Big brothers ashes flow through the creek
I was climbing on them rocks before I could speak
Looking up at the field in peace watching the stars
No pollution from city lights and cars
So quiet and still you could feel the world move
Through the Milky Way like a whirl pool
Beautiful every day of the year
I never asked to come but glad I was born here
It ain't hard to see
Over a lifetime this place became a part of me yeah
I'm deeply rooted in the dirt
And grateful to have a place and purpose on this earth

I got a long drive way that ain't never been paved and it's hidden in some tall pine trees
I got a old healer dog that knows how to bark and he ain't never seen no leash
Grown by the land you can tell by hands and the blood running through these streams
Yeah I'm rooted in the earth in the middle Georgia dirt in a place where I won't be seen
Hidden in the leaves

A lifelong Jones County representative like a grown man
Ain't trying to get it quick
Don't get excited online I play the long game
Like a brick at a time and build my own name
Like papa Rick said your reputation is profit
Stand it on a strong foundation and they can't knock it
So never change, no matter how far
You are from where you came from remember what you are

I got a long drive way that ain't never been paved and it's hidden in some tall pine trees
I got a old healer dog that knows how to bark and he ain't never seen no leash
Grown by the land you can tell by hands and the blood running through these streams
Yeah I'm rooted in the earth in the middle Georgia dirt in a place where I won't be seen
Hidden in the leaves
