Letra

Two, four, five, six, yes please
Yeah
Uh, at age seven found a connection with the place I call home
When muddy water and fresh air was our favourite cologne (Bastard)
Covering ranges in all of the five rivers
That's how we remind ourselves
That our ancesters are still with us
Fresh fish for dinner
Goat and a turkey for dinner
Hunting past 'cause we don't want that to get us
Walkin' down the highway
The tourists are takin' pictures
I do now but back then I never really used to get it
How beautiful and lucky we are to call this place home
Come to think about it
That's why we never stayed home
Always out and about
Remember St. Joes days?
Mango tree where we ate while we played
Final bell, the park, the next stop
So the plum, sugar tamarind and pop rocks
The boys play football
The girls play hopscotch
Any b's drop, pass me don't make it drop drop
Real spin
But Doof, when we were little kids
Had fights turn real when we were little kids
Street lights meant home when we were little kids
Dark times we were little shits
True God, fast forward a few years
State school, familiar faces and new peers
Went from wearing blue to an orange uniform
The moment the union was formed
Cliff kids for life
With them boys till I die
No text message, just flick your hand in the sky
That's high, that's by, what now? Be right
English, creole, two worlds, in time
Catch, catch, catch up
Young men always up to something
They break at the bakery doing nothing
Whose around town with the bros, music pumpin'
We tryin' to find us a wifey, windows jumpin'
Teenagers with no favours
All we had was the night
The way you earned respect was how you handled a fight
We know the protocol
So do the elders polite
Respect your elders or they knock out your lights
It's a cultural right, my big bro got a license
Dangerous
My big bro's eighteen plus
Dangerous
All we got is open road
That's dangerous
Full tank, full esky, where they takin' us?
Now that's the question that they wanna know
Kiss my mom and my nana and tell them I gotta go
Country music playin' as soon as we hit the road
Hate country music where I'm from, not a single soul
Well, school, didn't finish it
Wasn't good with listening
Knew it wasn't for me
Common sense was kickin' in
Clear as day, I'm different in, I'm hoping in the best way
Travelling the country while my buddies finish 10th grade
Four states in ten days, economy, no leg space
Homesick but livin' in the moment was my best trait
The things I'd seen by the age of sixteen
The type of things you consider a dream
Mr. work hard, play hard, same routine
Sometimes a little too hard
But what's life without battle scars
I make it home every once in a while
Welcome home with a smile
My friends be growing up quick
A few of them having kids
I lost a few on the way
That feeling really is shit
For that reason won't quit
Winter made me like this
Turned a boy to a warrior like a river king
You know that's the way that it is
So here's a message to the next gen
Head up high
You're never gonna make a change
If you never gonna try
Dallas Woods
Representin' the E-K, E-K, E-K
You know what it is, thank you very much
Much love, peace out
