about

This is one for all my people who grew up at the end of a dirt road. I'm from a small town called Harrellsville and this track is just about life as a kid in a rural area.

lyrics

Picture this: dirt roads, play clothes, and skinned elbows
Coming inside, smelling like outside was a hell no
Mama wasn't having that in and out traffic back
And forth through the kitchen door, trying to get some Apple Jacks
After that, riding to the store for some quarter snacks
Bag full of Jungle Juice, Fudge Rounds, a couple packs
Playing ball on dirt courts, summer time. All we need was...

Sunshine, sunshine

Even on them rainy days we still got them jumpers up
Back to back. Me and Mumu running games of 21
Them simple times were hella fun. Memoirs of a country kid
Cynthia's baby boy was good no matter what he did
AG classes, honor roll, Dali with the sketch pad
Head in a comic book, keeping up on XMen
Sitting on the front porch, watching cars go by in the..

Sunshine, sunshine

In my town you'll find kids in tobacco fields, working for their school clothes
One traffic light. The coastal plains life moves slow
It's cool though. Usually it stays pretty calm
But when the shit goes down, you'd be surprised how fast the news go
You don't know how dark nights get far from city lights
Never travelled much. I didn't know what the city was like
Harrellsville's Richard Wright rising like the...

Sunshine, sunshine

561, Trap, 45, and Quebec
The roads that we stayed on, came of age and played on
Grandma steadily prayed on. I tried to get her to relax
Her grandbaby grew so fast, she hate it when I stayed gone
Tractors block the street but traffic's never backed up
Blue collar farmers and truck drivers' dough stacked up
Treetops trace the skyline but never did they block out the..

Sunshine, sunshine

Hardly home; always repping. The 'Ville hasn't changed much
This is for them dirt roads and corn fields that made us
Where my work ethic came from. School was my way out
My old crew doing good although they didn't go the same route
We didn't have as much as other kids in the county
Looking back on my origin, the story's so astounding
Found our way out the mud. Native Son basking in the...
