Hourglass

(album: Heart Of America - 2016)

Yeah, my successes were deserved
Looking in they eyes, I see them haters is perturbed
But I am not disturbed, I kick the hatred to the curb
And to think that I would quit on your behalf would be absurd
I'm moving in and I accept no eviction
Listen to the sound of my voice, you hear conviction
Hick evicted, waiting on the quidles
With a hand full of Skittles, trying to figure out the riddles
The fat lady sing, the little man plays the fiddle
We found out you got a family full of rats like the "Littles"
"Little" of the slums bubba come and get you some, yes
Pour a little rum and they can toast to the morning sun
Goodnight moon, sorry that I'm leaving so soon
And book my flight to Cancun round noon
I'm outta here mami, hasta luego
Sunset on the haters, where did they go?

I'm on the back road, country boy sour mash
I'm upside down in the sand like an hourglass
Like an hourglass
Hourglass
I take a minute to relax while the hours pass
I'm upside down in the sand like an hourglass
An hourglass (Upchurch)
Hourglass

Hours pass in the hourglass, hours pass, they're passing fast
Everybody got a vision of the future past, just save the presents all for last
I still gotta rap to tell y'all shit, still gotta rap to represent
Still gotta rap for everybody at the bottom, middle finger to the haters, can't tell me shit
Grew up, mobile home, now I'm famous, mobile phone
People wanna kick it with me in different area codes
It's crazy how you grow up getting kicked around by multiples
And now you're squatted up with country boys hopping out them Tonka Toys
AR-15s, HIDs, light bars, 33s
Hiding up in them Tennessee trees like I'm only in the hollas trying to get some peace
It's quiet I can only hear the spirits whispering
The sound of nature is my stress reliever, won't you listen it
I'm howling at the moon, petrified by its gloom
I never thought I'd be here failing in the classroom
Middle fingers up, I'm Catholic with the fucks I give for real, boy
Life's hard mash down like it's all stiill joy

I'm on the back road, country boy sour mash
I'm upside down in the sand like an hourglass
Like an hourglass
Hourglass
I take a minute to relax while the hours pass
I'm upside down in the sand like an hourglass
An hourglass
Hourglass
