Lyrics
I don't enter Music City
I prefer not to engage with the mainstream music scene of Music City.
I can't get with the program
I don't conform to the established norms or expectations.
Rather be in the barn just swayin'
I'd rather be in a barn, relaxing and swaying to slow music.
Out to a slow jam
Enjoying a slow-paced song that resonates deeply.
Or in the trees tell a story of a time upon a
Being amidst nature, perhaps in trees, reminiscing or telling a tale.
Way up on a hilltop
In a high location, like a hilltop, providing perspective.
Overlookin' the purple thunder
Overseeing a beautiful natural phenomenon.
And the rain pours down
Describing heavy rain turning rivers murky.
Turns rivers to brown death
Rain causing landslides and environmental disturbance.
By landslides, when I'm takin' the game with
Metaphorically "taking the game" while facing challenges.
I'm a rapper with a raft and
Identifying as a rapper but also reminiscent of Huck Finn's adventurous spirit.
An army of Huck Finn's
Referring to a tough upbringing and resilient personality.
Who grew up buck knives, attitudes
Conveying personal struggles and challenges through lyrics.
And thick skin i got a lotta problems that
Addressing personal problems openly in music.
I put in my lyrics
Sending personal experiences through music into the future.
I'm sendin' them to the future when
Wanting to return to roots and protect origins.
I get there I get it
Preserving a connection to rural origins.
And come back to the same field
Leaving signs or traces of presence for others.
Protect my beginnings
Referencing a mysterious or enigmatic presence as "Ghost Upchurch."
Continue what I left in the country
Revisiting and playing with past achievements.
As quiet as ever
Expressing a desire for quiet and solitude.
Leavin' random chicken feathers for
Leaving small hints or remnants for others to discover.
Them people to see
Continuing a legacy or tradition with light or a symbolic object.
Ghost Upchurch lurks, no mystery
Asserting confidence and command over one's legacy.
Light an oil lamp, play with the legacy
Feeling charged up or energized after a metaphorical lightning strike.
That ended in the same spot that it started
Preparing for inevitable challenges or upheavals.
Bitch
Willingness to endure challenges and hardships.
I walk into the sunset
Desiring to experience tranquility and peace.
Dive into the moonlight
Engaging with natural beauty and serene environments.
Hop a barbed wire fence just
Metaphorically crossing boundaries to experience simple joys.
To dance with fireflies my feet in the weed
Enjoying the beauty of fireflies and nature.
Cut trails from the creek
Creating paths or routes near a creek.
A couple of candles but they
Using candles for illumination but facing limitations.
Can't even handle the fact
People struggle to comprehend the supernatural or extraordinary aspects of the persona.
That I'm supernatural
Repeated assertion of being extraordinary or supernatural.
That boy's a supernatural
-That man's a supernatural
-So supernatural (supernatural)
-Lightnin' struck, I'm charged up
Reiteration of themes of being charged up, ready, and persevering.
Ready for the hurricane that
-Will come destruct
-Ready to drown in the loneliness of an icon
-Tell the Hall of Fame keep
-The motherfuckin' lights on
-'Til my face is in a spot
-Where the light stays on
-It's my time to spine
-To the world and beyond
-Lock myself in the studio while
-I'm writin' life longs
-Yeah it's time, drop it Church
-Motherfucker jump on
-Stay singin' in a can to a sick theme song
-Fifty hairs cut with a couple blunts rolled
-Me thick as a Nike in the dirt, I'm gone
-Tom Sawyer with this shit I
-Need a rap that's all
-I walk into the sunset
Reinforcement of the supernatural, charged-up persona.
Dive into the moonlight
-Hop a barbed wire fence just
-To dance with fireflies my feet in the weed
-Cut trails from the creek
-A couple of candles but they
-Can't even handle the fact
-That I'm supernatural
-That boy's a supernatural
-That man's a supernatural so supernatural
-(Supernatural, Supernatural)
-Alright, hey I'm gonna get in the shower
Mentioning mundane tasks like taking a shower.
Do something like
Planning to engage in an activity with background music.
Have something in the background
A phrase uttered casually or as a filler.
Doin' like ho oh
