What Are The Lyrics For Cuttin' Heads By John Mellencamp?
Hey Poppi yea ho
Hey Poppi yea ho Yeah yeah yeah yeah Lay low proud Poppi Lay low proud Poppi (shout it out) He's from the deep south (shout it out) Pass Christian Mississippi Where the cane breaks are burning every night Lay low proud Poppi (shout it out) [Chorus] Hey oh Hey oh Oh Poppi Hey oh Hey oh Hey Poppi Hey oh Hey oh Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah Poppi had a wife And she was black and Poppi was white (shout it out) Everything was rolling great (shout it out) Till some man called her race a disgrace Oh no [Chorus] Well Poppi went down to the river To defend the honor of his wife (somebody's killing somebody) Gonna drown the man in the water (shout it out) And the water was shiny like a new knife But Poppi stopped at the banks of the delta He said this sure ain't worth this man's life Someday the wind of change Is gonna blow on through And put all of these jokers right See man and sing now [Chorus] [chuck d] Papa got a brand new bag Delta blues got 'em dazed and confused Came a long way crazy Seems the abuse Is racism's baby It's wild 'Cause I connect the word with pain Now some smile when they scream the name? Funny how the times have changed And the rhymes have changed But some cat's frame remains the same Agitating adjective What gives? Die "n" word die But I want to live Known' all this Where the word came from I must be three times stupid And stuck on dumb If I use it and confuse it With a term of love Now popular culture Can't stop 'til it gets enough Underlined in marketing campaigns I feel undermined Heard the "n" word promotes the bottom line Down by the river there's a great divide Let's ride [repeat: x4] Don't call me nigga cause you know I don't like it like that Shout it out Yeah shout it out Tell the world Shout it out I said Hey oh Hey oh Hey oh Hey oh Oh Poppi Hey oh Hey oh Tell the world Yeah, yeah, yeah Tell the world That it ain't right Tell the world Don't set us back oh Poppi Don't set us back now Poppi Tell the world |
