Is there an other mule kickin in my stall
Twenty five miles of barbed wire
And fifty years of raisin hell

Ray Charles and Jimi Hendrix
Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee
Lightning Hopkins and Big Bill Broonzy
and Robert Johnson – who set the music free

Singin – the sky is cryin – time to dust my broom

Twenty five miles of barbed wire
And fifty years of raisin hell

I've been thinking 'bout the presidents
Been thinking 'bout the presidents
The White House was their residence
I've been thinking about them
You know who's legacy's endurin'
It's Martin Van Buren
You know who mastered his craft
William Howard Taft
You know who's unassumin'
It's Harry S. Truman
There was a Tyler and a Tayler
A Johnson and a Johnson
Two Roosevelts as well
Calvin Coolidge,
Grover Cleveland
Franklin Pierce and
Jimmy Carter
Do these names ring a bell
I've been thinking 'bout the presidents
Been thinking 'bout the presidents
The White House was their residence
I've been thinking about them
Might you be next?

Y'all knew Frank Matthews, we knew Walter Davis
They know Felix Mitchell, we know Walter Davis
They had Bumpy Johnson, we had Walter Davis
They love Willie Stokes, we love Walter Davis

Peace and love, Grandpa, I know it's been a while
Since 03' on me, I'm a keep your name alive
Your worldly view, I know you see, I got a family now
Got out the streets, started a business to make you proud
That being said, I hope that that make you smile
Owe it to you, I'm the man that I am now
My wife say I look just like you, wow
A good look in the mirror and didn't seemed surprise
My Momma diagnosed with breast cancer
They got the cure, though, you know it's all about the money
Tell Grandma, Effie and Roger I'm living life
Aunt Betty, for my Daddy had to get it right
Them long conversations influence me well
Follow your guide like the blind, do with the braille
It bothers me, your medallion ain't in my possession
You said it's just material, and to let it go
I don't think you understood how I felt though
Wasn't the chain, but your legacy and principle
Something that you taught me, morals and standards too
Because of you, I am a real stand-up dude
Defined a real man made me want a man too
He had that bag, made me wanna get my bands up too
Say what's up to you when I remove my ceiling
Thanks to you, I stay sharp and move with precision
Privileged to be your grandson, it truly was a blessing
It's crazy how I really thought you would live forever
You encouraged me to keep pursuing this music
To this day, you the main reason why I do it
He brought a heroine to K Town, he the smack man
We call him Walter Davis, aka that's Black Dave
2003, a part of me left with you
Hole in my heart, but I'm glad you took that piece with you

Um dó meio vazio bateu no piano
A alegria pontuou o fim
Calou a pobre voz que já era baixa
Silenciou o botequim
Copacabana ficou meio morna
Com whisky, conhaque e gin
A musa de ipanema se perdeu em graça
Me desculpe, Vinícius e Jobim

Robert Johnson começou a soar no rádio
Escapando do diabo e da cruz
Little walter sentiu em uma caipirinha
Um gosto amargo… Resmungou…
A bossa nova blues


Enquanto isso na então pacata Menphis
Ou talvez em um bar do Tenesse
A tv sintonizou o carnaval do rio
Para espantar um pouco do triste fim

E o pobre agricultor já desesperado
Escravo nos campos de algodão
Viu na passista um amor descompassado
Em whisky, fumaça e ilusão
Fez juras de amor
A fo ga do em lágrimas
De joelhos suspirou
A bossa nova blues.

Of sweet despair 
 
And as the time is passing by just like a cloud on cloudy sky When you realise will be too late to wonder why 
 
And the polaroid pictures that you own 
Of passed nights in campfire songs 
All the memories about the streets where you grew up remains the same 
You now call affecnionately memory lane

I can’t knock on her porch, she never told me where she live
but I know where cause I listen to everything that she says
to her friends, like “Wally Johnson’s a creeper,
I only wanna listen to the music by the Keeper.”
But she can’t have that neither, cause I left a hundred
mixtapes of my favorite song the Ether
I’m Walter Jefferson.

It was the 27th of April, 1822
In Point Pleasant, Ohio
Hiram Ulysses Grant was due
After school, he entered West Point
Fought in the war with Mexico
He learn skills in strategy, and
How crucial is supply line flow
He fell in love with Julia
In 1848, they wed
They had four children, which were
Buck, Nellie, Jesse and Fred

Grant left the Army, skill-less
They struggled for what they need
'61, came Civil War
He joined again, his men, to lead
A General, then Commander
Into the battles with his men
Shiloh, Vicksburg, Appomattox
He was a fighter to war's end
He was there at Lee's surrender
Then became Secretary of War
Grant struggled with President Johnson
Andrew's impeachment opened a door

Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th president, he was
He tried to heal a nation, but, too many fought his cause

Grant ran and won the presidency
In 1868
Promoted Reconstruction
And for blacks to integrate
Though honest yet gullible
Scandals plagued his presidency
Black Friday, Whiskey Ring, and more
His choice of men were untrustworthy
He established Yellowstone
The first park in the nation
Reduced debt, taxes and tariffs
But, couldn't stop segregation

'77, Grant left DC
Travelled the world with his wife
He made some bad investments
But, his memoirs improved their life
But, years of drinking took their toll
In 1885
July 23rd, it was
The last day he was alive
His legacy, he saved
The Union in the Civil War
He's on the $50 bill
Thus, in memory evermore

Hotellihuoneessa 666 myin sieluni pirulle, ja se huus: Aa-uuu, aa-uuu.
Ku Robert Johnson konsanaan se lumosi mut soitollaan.

Meni siinä pala sielua, mut Landola saundaa Gibsonilta.

Woods, no tobacco, I pack it like an asshole
That's dodging pups in customs, walking straighter than a flagpole

She pocket poison, hear the rattlesnake
Lots of different concentrates
Got the Dwayne Johnson grin, the tooth fairy's on the case
Daughter lost her first tooth, bound to lose 'em any day
Lost my smile as a child, too alike in many ways
I pray you see the heaven's gates

Picture perfect
Walter Johnson
Hundred grand and
Countin
But my shawty doin
Time in county
Got caught with them ounces
And my little homie's body
Just got founded in the fountain
He was in the club and
Shot the bouncer
So they took it out up on
His baby momma
Baby boy
And did it all in silence
If I knew that it was rowdy
This might never woulda happened
I just wanted to be happy
Livin lavish, steady stackin
I was told to get the garments
Whippin weight was 
Hella harmless
Move my way up on the
Charts and
Show the block
Who's the strongest
It's survival of the fittest
When ya clothes not
Fittin
And ya hot water missin
And ya kin never listenin
Took advantage of 
The hood's depression
To get rid of my recession

Been departed in the badlands
Feel like Martin Sheen
Lost a soldier
It's a bad day
In this war scene
Homie you a sacrifice
Thank God you took one for the team
Homie you a sacrifice
Thank God you took one for the team

I been goin for the Gucci
I been juggin for the Jordans
Been finessin for the Fendi
Flippin for the Ferragamo
And the chains on my neck
Reminiscent of Elizabeth
When she was forced to move to Philly
With President Washington
Been tight with the green
I'm like Robin Hood when
I'm robbin hoods
Momma told me stay in school
I didn't but I prolly could
Trauma is apart of God's plan
And it's all good
And on the Dub
I'll always be the man
And it's all good

I cannot breathe
Your knee is on my neck
I cannot breathe
Your boys are on my back
I cannot breathe
I did nothing to reap such a heinous attack
It is clear the hate that you feel is because I am Black

Bitches goggle me like eyewear
K on my plate, we eatin' Thai here
They gon' throw me a parade the day I die here
Look, when Larry Johnson was Grandmama (remember?)
I seen smokers tryna exchange handlebars (what you got?)
Car stereos, homie, cut them cameras off
Just tryna get up off the ground like Earl Manigault (GOAT)
A gram of soft make your jaw lock
One with these mechanics like you met me at a car shop
Headline a seam, put that beam on his bald spot (beam)
Smokin' out a turkey bag, shit look like when the fog drop
Hit the lights, send a kite to my dogs out of they element
Cocaine really ain't the same 'less you inhalin' it
Dope game, niggas taught it to us, why you tellin' it?

Don Henley wants you back
The Polyphonic Spree want you back (woohoo)
Lyndon Johnson wants you back
and my dog wants you back (hahaha)
Shannon Elizabeth wants me back (Hahahahahaha)
Its true guys she loves me
News 11 This just in Shannon Elizabeth does not want you back (Hahahaha) (Oh Boy)
DRI wants you back
Sparta wants you back
Ughh...

Cooking up like I'm Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen
Smoke green, faded like I'm running out of vision
Got your bitch in my dms, yet you ain't even see me
Made her cum quick, magic fingers like Houdini
Yeah all these crackers wanna be me
Yet these rappers don't even see me
6 girls, and the bitches all leave me
6 figures and the bitches come easy
Grinding my shit like a goddamn stripper
She grind on my shit cOs I'm a big tipper
Yeah my flows just like a river
Write down my streams see I always deliver
Better start calling me Walter white
Everything I cook is so precise
Write my own shit, no poltergeist
Flows so fast, shits motorised
Infectious rhythms, got you like a virus
Flow real fast I'm gassed like nitrous
I'm tyet like the knot of isis
Get worship and I ain't even pious
Ego real big but I ain't self righteous
No yes men I don't do spineless
Crack ya bones, get arthritis
Pierce ya lung, get bronchitis
I'm Augustus, build me an empire
Stacking bricks, on beats so fire
Push back anyone invading my territory
Call me Alfred the great, it's the same story
They all told me I couldn't rap
So I did this track, just to clap back
Call ya McDonald cOs your such a clown
Shit I didn't know Ronald was in town
All these bitch ass rappers wanna claim my crown
GOON stays on top, I'm always looking down
I'm up so high you can call me Zeus
I bring the thunder, don't let me loose
Call me Odin when I step in the booth
No stopping me, put my neck in a noose
I'm a bigger gangsta then Nucky Thompson
And I drink more rum then Enoch Johnson
I feel like a dentist cOs I can't stop flossing
My life's like Truman, cOs y'all all watching
Fiona's prince, cOs I keep on charming
Better call me Saul, cOs i Cant stop conning
Talk about money and say I'm drowning
Debt so high you can't even count it
Hear my name want you to shout it
GOON is KING, no doubt about it
