Bootheel Lyrics

I come from the boot like Tecovas or the tony lamas

We not popular but living here a save ya money

This just a country town

This where you live slow

But once a year they get it popping at the rodeo

You want to have fun come to ball game

They get it cracking when we play our rivals in a game

Sports the way a life or go and get a job

This ain't a place where you can get away with much crime

I played ball growing up that's all I ever knew

I member playing for the traveling team through the school

I wanted to make it big

Get drafted from Mizzou

The coach snubbed me off the team broke my heart in two

I wanted to play tennis

Should've did that instead

But being scared I was thugging in the streets with Redd

We running block to block

Ain't a street we ain't touch

We hustling young cause ain't nobody got money bra

I cried often as a kid cause I missed my brother

Twenty-three hour locked down I hate he had to suffer

Remember being in cuffs

They tryna trip me up

They told my baby mama to snitch

Or they gone lock her up

They threw me in the car

Told me I'm out of luck

Rough me up because I'm black

All cause I lawyered up

If you gone do yo dirt

Make sure you papered up

I'm giving game out like a ted talk listen up

I come from the boot like Tecovas or the tony lamas

We not popular but living here a save ya money

This just a country town

This where you live slow

Tut once a year they get it popping at the rodeo

You want to have fun come to ball game

They get it cracking when we play our rivals in a game

Sports the way a life or go and get a job

This ain't a place where you can get away with much crime

Cant wait to see all of my people free up out the cell

I try to answer all they calls

I know they bored in there.

This just a small town

Where its a little hope

Most people country so the field is what be growing the most

My daddy taught me how to be more than the average joe

So I'm aggressive like the bulls out at the rodeo

I never played golf

But I'm riding in a caddy

Ain't no put put course

If it ain't loaded ion want it

I ain't simple type of dude I wanna make that clear

If its regular then ion want it over here.

I never been cocky

I just know what I'm worth

I want the best of best cause I come from the dirt

They tried to get me out the way

They felt I was a star

But you cant stop greatness

It don't matter who you are

Never quit yo race

What if tomorrow the day

Stay and aggressive

But never ever leave ya lane
