You know how to be the best
And that's why (and that's why...)
I don't know anyone outside this fenced in yard
But anyway, I do feel there's something new
I'll take the back roads tell my cousin I'm comin' through
Doesn't anyone want to?
You feel it, don't you?
Stored in your bones is the feeling
You won't survive here
♪
And for five centuries
You would have been right to flee this town before sundown
♪
Happens to anyone brown as a backwood
And proud like we were last Sunday
Hear the voice say, "Run away"
♪
I don't show, but I got this feeling
Something's coming to take it all away
Recount my money
No way I'm gonna let y'all do me like my daddy
Georgia May had me running for days
Had me searching for a way
