Southern Fried Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Killer Mike say about "Southern Fried"?
Genius Answer

Killer Mike said the following in an interview with Spin Magazine:

This is some funky shit, a country-rap tune. It’s hip-hop but from the perspective of a Southerner. That’s me singing on the hook too. I had never done that. I was like, ‘Why not?’ If I’m taking the mentality that every record is my last record why not do everything I want to do?
