White Lightning
(专辑: Rap The South - 2019)
North Carolina way back in the
hills Daddy's granddaddy yeah, he had him a
still He brewed white lightning 'til the
sun went down And then he'd fill him a
jug and he'd pass it around Mighty mighty pleasing (Pleasin') Pappy's corn squeezing (Squeezin') Mmm yeah, white lightning I
was sipping creek water clear in the
back of the
barn on a
fall night Thinking 'bout my daddy's granddaddy loading up the
jars Tryna dodge the
five Popcorn Sutton was gunning and running gallons of that white liquor Make it barely far from all of them slick talking city slickers Wise old men with a
beard full of grey whiskers Let's go paint a
picture Corn mash, you can smell it all through the
holler See that rotted old stump, that's where they go and leave it all at 'Cause the
cheap man, G-Man, revenooers too Wouldn't leave pappy alone, he was still crafting his brew That's all that they knew, folk tales and mountain dew Copper pipes, long nights, just trying to make it through Callused hands and a
heart more solid than the
brick Take his life before jail, wouldn't take none of their shit Remember the
old days Run the
shine the
old way Always in my heart so I
carry on a
legacy Do the
same thing with pappy's old recipe North Carolina way back in the
hills Daddy's granddaddy yeah, he had him a
still He brewed white lightning 'til the
sun went down And then he'd fill him a
jug and he'd pass it around Mighty mighty pleasing (Pleasin') Pappy's corn squeezing (Squeezin') Mmm yeah, white lightning Not tryna change the
old song Just tryna make the
song known To a
generation where the
old days are long gone Fill the
jug, take a
sip, firewater on your lips City boys think they tough 'til it's turning them a
flip My old man's old man name is Brother Boo Make your eyes bug out, make your face turn blue Blue flame, clear clear, feel the
spirit in the
hills Might see an apparition of him lurking on his still, ayy North Carolina go on and raise up (Raise up) Tennessee go ahead, pour the
shine in your cup Through the
valleys of the
Appalachians all over the
south Old smokey pour the
apple pie straight up in your mouth North Carolina way back in the
hills Daddy's granddaddy yeah, he had him a
still He brewed white lightning till the
sun went down And then he'd fill him a
jug and he'd pass it around Mighty mighty pleasing (Pleasin') Pappy's corn squeezing (Squeezin') Mmm yeah white lightning To everyone who is sitting there saying "You shouldn't mess with a
classic" really, get the
hell out. If I
can be the
voice for this style of music and craft I
don't wanna be forgotten. If I
can get a
young kid to listen to this and that makes them wanna go back and check out the
classic version then yes, I'm gonna remix this stuff 'cause I
want the
younger generation to appreciate the
good stuff too. The
world is starving for a
taste of the
good old days North Carolina way back in the
hills (Back in the
hills) Daddy's granddaddy and he had him a
still
