Lyrics

I rolled into a small town bar, guitar slung across my back
The old-timers eyed me sideways, said "boy, you're off the track"
I played 'em something tender, then I switched up to a groove
They scratched their heads and shuffled feet
Didn't know which way to move
Sometimes I'm a little bit country
Other times I'm a whole lotta street
Sometimes I play a little riff
And other times I drop a heavy beat
So many times they put us in boxes
You're either a brother or you're against us
The purists want it their way, without deviation
Don't stray from the lines, forget fusion
I've been walking roads less travelled, never fit their neat designs
Some folks want you simple, painted inside all their lines
But I was born of thunder and the quiet of the plains
Mixed blood runs through these veins, I don't apologise for change
Sometimes I'm a little bit country
Other times I'm a whole lotta street
Sometimes I play a little riff
And other times I drop a heavy beat
My way or the highway... or so they say
Nah man I don't buy that
The tastiest things are mix of flavour
They ain't boring? They somethin' to savour
I may not be your cup of tea
I'm one and one makes three
Yeah, you can't compute I see
I don't need yo permission
Nah, I don't need yo approval
Just because I'm different don't mean it's removal
Stay in yo lane yo
Hhayi kulokhu mfowethu
I play on a different field
Angeke ningibambe (you won't contain me)
Nginamandla ami (I have my own strength)
Ngizolanda inkululeko yami (I will take my freedom)
Angeke niphinde (you won't do it again)
Ngizokwakha indlela yami (I will build my own way)
Hhayi kulokhu mfowethu
Sometimes I'm a little bit country
Other times I'm a whole lotta street
Sometimes I play a little riff
And other times I drop a heavy beat
Can't box this
Can't box this
Can't box this
Sometimes I'm a little bit country
Other times I'm a whole lotta street
Sometimes I play a little riff
And other times I drop a heavy beat
Can't box this
Can't box this
Can't box this
