Lyrics
i don't know
I lack knowledge about individuals beyond this enclosed area.
anyone outside this fenced in yard
My interactions are limited to this fenced yard.
but anyway
Despite the limitations, there's something new I sense.
i do
I do possess an understanding.
feel there's something new.
I sense a new experience or situation.
i'll take the back roads.
I'll choose less traveled paths.
tell my cousin i'm comin through.
Informing my cousin that I'll be passing through.
doesn't anyone
Doesn't anyone desire to?
want to?
Expressing a desire for connection.
You feel it too
Asking if you also sense it.
don't you?
Confirmation of shared feelings.
stored in your bones is the feeling
The sensation is ingrained in your essence.
you won't
You won't endure or thrive in this environment.
survive here
A challenging place to survive.
and for 5 centuries
Over five centuries, leaving town before sundown was wise.
you would have been right to flee this town before Sundown
This fate applies to those with a brown complexion.
it happens to anyone brown as a backwood and proud like we were last sunday.
Referencing a proud moment from the past Sunday.
hear the voice
Hearing a voice advising to run away.
Say
The voice commands.
run away.
Suggesting the need to escape.
I don't show
Keeping feelings hidden.
But I got this feeling Somethings coming To take
Anticipating something that will take everything away.
It all away
Emphasizing the loss.
Recount my money
Reviewing one's finances.
No way
Rejecting the idea of losing money.
I'm gonna let y'all
Not allowing others to treat you poorly.
Do me like my daddy That Georgia May
A reference to a challenging past, comparing to a location (Georgia).
Had me running
Recalling a time when running was necessary.
For days
Experiencing an extended period of running.
Had me searchin
Searching for a solution.
For a way.
Continuing the search for a way out.
Stored in your bones Is the feeling
The feeling is deeply ingrained in your essence.
You don't
You don't belong in this place.
Belong here.
A reaffirmation that this environment is not suitable.
