Testo MEAN STREAK - Graham Barham

Testo della canzone MEAN STREAK (Graham Barham), tratta dall'album CLUB COUNTRY

I was just a blue Jean, flip-flop kid
Listenin' to LimeWire ripped-off hits
Out there in the pasture, sittin' in a tractor
Bumpin' that OG hip-hop shit
Maybe that's why my sound these days
Is a J45 on an 808
Yeah, I've always been this way, nothin's changed
I'm on a
Mean what I say, say what I mean streak
I'm on that
Get what you see whenever you see me
And aw, well
If you don't like it, take it or leave me
'Cause I'm on a
Mean what I say and say what I mean, mean, mean streak
Everybody wanna have a word about who
Who I oughta be, what I oughta do
What I gotta play, what I gotta make, what I gotta break just to break through
But I'm done bitin' my tongue, holdin' my breath 'til I pop my lungs
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done
I'm on a
Mean what I say, say what I mean streak
I'm on that
Get what you see whenever you see me
And aw, well
If you don't like it, take it or leave me
'Cause I'm on a
Mean what I say, say what I mean, mean, mean streak
Mean what I say, say what I mean streak
Yeah, that's why my sound these days
A J45 on an 808
Yeah, I've always been this way, nothin's changed
I'm on a
Mean what I say, say what I mean streak
I'm on that
Get what you see whenever you see me
And aw, well
If you don't like it, take it or leave me
'Cause I'm on a
Mean what I say, say what I mean, mean, mean streak
Mean what I say, say what I mean streak
Mean what I say, say what I mean streak
So look, I grew up in a small town so small it felt shameless
And my mom would drive that Ford 40 miles so we'd be educated
Pops was in the field workin' seven days a week
Breakin' his back on a tractor tryna make a little green
I remember never orderin' sodas in the restaurants
So the bills would never go high, so high enough to break the bank accounts
Mama had two jobs at the church and the school
Always grindin' for her baby so we could go on trips with a pool
I never knew nothin' more than that town of a hundred
And a lotta you probably didn't know I grew up so country
I've come a long way from that little village
I made it all the way here on someone else's sweat and tears
And so, Father, I'm beggin' you to hear me
Can you take me higher?
I know there's golden roads
I wanna walk with you, Father
Would you pray for my soul?
I took my mama out to Paris on some "Oil Money"
They keep talkin' but don't listen to their hearts thumpin'
This world is crazy, and the kids are so confused
I only wanna be a light so the next generation doesn't lose
Sight of why we're all here, more than cigarettes and cold beer
I'm talkin' 'bout that journey God left for us all to fear
But I gotta trust in my man that one day it will all unfold
And everythin' we believe in will surly turn to gold
So perk your ears up and listen
I spent a many a nights wonderin' if these lyrics will ever make it
I moved my whole life here from dirt roads to neon lights
Walkin' empty streets so drunk I thought I might die
And I know it's kinda so low, so I roll up and get high
Smoke out every thought of never seein' a greater life
Who I am is kinda jaded
But, God, I pray, please don't hate me
Can you take me higher?
I know there's golden roads
I wanna walk with you, Father
Would you pray for my soul?
I've never been one to be cocky or scream, "Listen to my shit"
A wise man once said, "Tread light and carry a big stick"
The less you speak about it, the more it is spoken of
So right now, I am prayin' I can mean somethin' more to the man up above
And, mama, I know you laid awake at night
Prayin' I wouldn't end up somewhere with no light
But don't think for a second I ain't still got it
Your prayers are finally gonna mean somethin'
I love you and daddy
Brother, sis, your big bro ain't here to be no phony
For the rest of the world, if you don't know, now you know
It's called Club Country
