Small Town Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Boy say to me, he say
"Ay Yuk, what's yo favorite city?"
And I say "West Virginia, that's my hometown"Take me back to West VA
Take me back to Charleston
It's them doggone busy city streets
That I'm ridin' to get far fromRidin' to a small town
Ridin' to a small town
Take me back to Massachusetts
Take me back to Cape CodIt's them doggone big ol' city buildings
I'm ridin' to escape from

Ridin' to a small town
Ridin' to a small townYo, I ride past beautiful cow fields
Top down, see how the air feels
I see trees that was here before me
Seem like each one's telling a storyI just wanna go hit the local bar
Where the owner's fat and smoke cigars
Where country girls attracted me
Seems like everybody works in a factoryWhere they ship they goods to bigger places
A city light just could never replace this
Where high school sports is what we live for
Hit the lotto, and next week you still poor
In a small townTake me back to West VA
Take me back to Charleston
It's them doggone busy city streets
That I'm ridin' to get far fromRidin' to a small town
Ridin' to a small town
Take me back to Massachusetts
Take me back to Cape CodIt's them doggone big ol' city buildings
I'm ridin' to escape from
Ridin' to a small town
Ridin' to a small townThey say the whole damn world is country
Small town livin', dad a porch monkey
Dirt road and gravel, anywhere you travel
Mechanic is the sheriff is the judge with the gavelEverybody cousin 'cause everybody kin
Piggly Wiggly, one school, everybody friends
From high school football to family reunions
Movin' at the speed of life, drunk by noon andThat's my uncle, I know everybody got one
Freaky ass white girl, daddy got a shotgun
Fly through the town, ya blink ya might miss it
City slicker in the country, wish you come visitCome on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on downUh, I like that shit
Lil' Yuk, what you think about that right there?Like, man, uh, I like North Carolina
I like Kentucky, Tennessee, like
I don't wanna, I wanna see something important
And take a right and right there at itI don't like all that traffic
Man, I like to get where I'm going
I like people with things on they mind like
"Let's have a good time, let's sit on the porch"That's what I was telling my homeboy Plump down in Duluth
You know, in Georgia, we was gonna kick it and do it way big
He always show us around at the office
And like why you go to the office?I'm like, man, that's some real people
Comin' from a small town
And that's where I'm from
And that's where realityThat's Nappy Roots
That's Fish Scales and that's Clutch
An that's B. Stille and that's Skinny Deville
That's V, that's, that's history, manYou know when you from the country
Everything's cool, you know
Give us a front porch, give us a thing of Patron
And give us, you know a few Corona, a Red Stripe
You know, things like that
Budweiser if ya money's lowBut we gonna have a good time, man
We comin from a small town
Bowling Green, Kentucky, Milledgeville, Georgia
You know thangs like thatI like 'Catawpa, Mississippi, you know, Florida
All them places like that, small town
Still love for LA and Chicago
But when I wanna kick I wanna be in a small townTake me back to West VA
Take me back to Charleston
It's them doggone busy city streets
That I'm ridin' to get far fromRidin' to a small town
Ridin' to a small town
Take me back to Massachusetts
Take me back to Cape CodIt's them doggone big ol' city buildings
I'm ridin' to escape from
Ridin' to a small town
Ridin' to a small town

Nappy Roots are an American hip hop sextet that originated in Kentucky in 1995, best known for their hit 2002 single "Awnaw". Their music can be categorized as alternative Southern rap.

The members of the group met while studying at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The group consists of Kentucky and Oakland, California natives Skinny DeVille, B. Stille, Ron Clutch, Big V, R. Prophet, and Fishscales.

Their debut album Country Fried Cess was released in 1998. Eventually, they were signed to the major label Atlantic Records and rose to fame with their first album on the label, 2002's Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz. The album featured the singles "Headz up", "Awnaw" (whose remix featured Marcos Curiel), and "Po' Folks" (featuring Anthony Hamilton). Their next album Wooden Leather, released in 2003, featured the singles "Roun' the Globe" and "Sick and Tired" (featuring Anthony Hamilton). This critically acclaimed, major label follow up album, "Wooden Leather" featured production from Kanye West, David Banner and Lil Jon.

Since the release of Wooden Leather they are back to being independent artists, and have started their own label, N.R.E.G (Nappy Roots Entertainment Group) with distribution through Fontana/Universal Music Group. On July 31, 2007, they released their first album as independent artists, Innerstate Music featuring singles "Good Day" and "Keep It Real". This was actually an internet album, similar to a modern day mixtape. It was intended to be a precursor to their 2008 album, The Humdinger which was released on August 5th 2008.

In 2008, the Nappy Roots returned to the spotlight with an internet campaign targeting the mega-popular hip-hop sites such as Allhiphop, HiphopDX, Sohh, 2dopeboyz, Dubcnn, XXL Mag and BallerStatus, etc.[3] The critically-acclaimed album, The Humdinger features guest appearances from Anthony Hamilton, Greg Nice, Greg Street and Slick & Rose, with production from Sol Messiah, Groove Chambers, Big Al, Joe Hop and more. The Humdinger entered the Billboard Rap Charts at #7 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums at #13.

Nappy Roots last toured across the country on the "Pursuit of Nappyness" tour. Fish Scales, Skinny DeVille, and Big V began their Humdinger Winter Tour on January 14, 2009 in Chicago, IL.

In 2009, NREG anticipates the release of 40 Akerz from Fish Scales and Skinny DeVille as well as an independent project from Big V.

Nappy Roots will kick off 2010 with their highly anticipated new album, "Pursuit of Nappiness", due to release April 20, 2010. The album will feature songs produced by a quickly emerging production duo from Atlanta, GA by the name of Phivestarr Productions.
