BOY HOOD Lyrics
[00:26.13] Candy cane, jump rope
[00:27.68] Cornbread and pig lip
[00:29.35] Hot fries, holy water
[00:31.03] Superdome cheese dip
[00:32.67] Perched on da fence, Po'boys in da yard
[00:35.37] Don't mess with my rug or my season salt boy
[00:38.85] I know where he be, know where he come from
[00:40.76] Hot boy taking over for the twenty-two thousands
[00:42.36] Uhhh na na na na, no limit soldier
[00:45.75] Home is where the heart stay
[00:46.96] Where the Pelicans and the Saints play
[00:49.52] The eagle land on Frenchman and the sparrow land on Sunday
[00:52.39] When pop pop wouldn't give me ends (give me ends)
[00:55.63] Grandma was a ATM (was a ATM)
[00:59.15] Buying bubble gum and M&M's (M&M's)
[01:02.24] I just had to rot my teeth out
[01:04.88] Basketball under the treehouse
[01:08.23] Too short to catch a rebound
[01:11.92] Maybe that wasn't my callin'
[01:15.14] But you could still see me ballin'
[01:18.60] You could still see me ballin'
[01:21.38] From New York down to New Orleans
[01:24.97] You could still see me ballin'
[01:28.32] You could still me
[01:31.23] Popeyes when they had that red, white, and blue bag
[01:34.42] Puttin on that Sportin' Waves underneath my durag
[01:37.51] If yo' line pushed back, or your shoes dirty
[01:40.79] Don't come around here, bes' stay home, ya heard me?!
[01:44.21] It's the time of dem naturals, Priestly, Satchel
[01:47.43] Bayou maharajahs, Nat King and Satchmo
[01:50.57] If you see him then and even if ya see him now
[01:53.55] It's the same Jon Jon with that same gold crown, ya heard me?
[01:58.22] When pop pop wouldn't give me ends (give me ends)
[02:00.42] Grandma was a ATM (was a ATM)
[02:03.58] Buying bubble gum and M&M's (M&M's)
[02:07.39] I just had to rot my teeth out
[02:09.70] Basketball under the treehouse
[02:13.23] Too short to catch a rebound
[02:16.46] Maybe that wasn't my callin'
[02:19.66] But you could still see me ballin'
[02:23.19] You could still see me ballin'
[02:26.13] From New York down to New Orleans
[02:29.58] You could still see me ballin'
[02:32.58] You could still see
[02:34.96] (Go ahead P.J.)
[02:38.13] I could still remember the mornings
[02:42.23] Breakfast cooking half asleep and still yawnin'
[02:46.84] Yeah, yeah, yeah
[02:49.77] It's time from Zulu so we better get goin'
[02:55.25] No place like New Orleans, yeah
[03:01.89] I said I'm far from home but I always represent, yeah
[03:09.18] I thought I had so much time, I don't know where it went
[03:16.33] But now that I'm grown I know what it all meant
[03:22.76] No place like New Orleans, yeah, yeah
[03:27.10] (Trombone Shorty and them boys)
[03:30.28]
[03:57.97] You could still see me ballin'
[04:03.48] You could still see me ballin'
[04:10.41] You could still see me ballin'
[04:24.68]
