The Low Boy

(album: the low boy ep - 2019)

Everybody said no, boy
You were born too low, boy
Just pick up and run
No, it can't be done, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum
I'm a homegrown soul boy
Royal flush, don't fold boy
Or pick up and run
I'll glow like the sun, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum

Hey, no means no
When the pitch goes high
You can't take it real low
Like Jon Snow
And as commander I should know
I've never taken orders from the drive-in-window
When you tell me no
I can feel it in my bones
And I always gotta show

Understand defeat, I'm going psycho
Got quicksanded feet, I'm going psycho
Must act nice and sweet, I'm going psycho
Veni, vidi, vici
I just want you to see

Everybody said no, boy
You were born too low, boy
Just pick up and run
No, it can't be done, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum
I'm a homegrown soul boy
Royal flush, don't fold boy
Or pick up and run
I'll glow like the sun, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum

Wax on, wax off
And pick up more trash
Laborious jobs until your music means cash
Thick skin
Cause I'm used to rejection
Every "no" claimed is a dose of affection
You don't seem to know
Where I'm, where I'm gonna go
And I always gotta show

Understand defeat, I'm going psycho
Got quicksanded feet, I'm going psycho
Must act nice and sweet, I'm going psycho
Veni, vidi, vici
I just want you to see

Everybody said no, boy
You were born too low, boy
Just pick up and run
No, it can't be done, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum
I'm a homegrown soul boy
Royal flush, don't fold boy
Or pick up and run
I'll glow like the sun, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum

Everybody say
Run, boy
Hide, boy
No-go low, boy
I say fly, boy
They're too slow, boy
You got the gift to glow like the sun
And I'm never gon' don' run
Everybody say
Run, boy
Hide, boy
No-go low, boy
I say fly, boy
They're too slow boy
You got the gift to glow like the sun
And I'm never gon' don' run
I'm a young gun, son

Low boy, pick up and run
Low boy, pick up and run
Low boy, pick up and run
Everybody, sing!

Everybody said no, boy
You were born too low, boy
Just pick up and run
No, it can't be done, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum
I'm a homegrown soul boy
Royal flush, don't fold boy
Or pick up and run
I'll glow like the sun, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum
Everybody said no, boy
You were born too low, boy
Just pick up and run
No, it can't be done, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum
I'm a homegrown soul boy
Royal flush, don't fold boy
Or pick up and run
I'll glow like the sun, di-di-dum, di-dum, di-dum, dum, dum
