Lyrics
Sumn' down in belly
Feeling something deep within
Sumn' down in the beast
Feeling something powerful
Sumn on my shoulder
Carrying a burden or responsibility
Got a hold on me
Being strongly influenced or controlled by something
Sum down in the levee
Feeling something deep within a natural or man-made embankment
Gon set me free, free, free, free, free
It will liberate me
Ohhhhhhh
Expressing a strong emotional response
What a life to lead
Reflecting on the nature of life being experienced
Sumn' down in the sippi
Feeling something profound related to the Mississippi River
Sumn' down in the tea
Feeling something profound related to tea (potentially Southern culture)
Sumn down in the honey
Feeling something profound related to sweetness or comfort
Sumn buzzin wit' the bee
Feeling something intense like the buzzing of bees
Its a whale in the ocean
Metaphorically referring to something huge and powerful in the vastness of the ocean
Gon set we free, free, free, free, free
It will liberate us
Ohhhhhhh
Expressing a strong emotional response
What a life to lead
Reflecting on the nature of life being experienced
What a life to lead
