Stik Figa - Chicot County Summer lyrics

rate me

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 ass, 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 ass, 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, nigga, 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 ass, 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 ass, my momma would be ashamed!

I watched my daddy work, never heard him complain

I watched my daddy work, I never heard him complain
