Tobacco Road Lyrics

[Verse 1: RA Scion]
I guess it has been a minute
And the south paw ain't felt right without the pen in it
Sent for incentive and sittin' submissive
But nothing bringing Jimmy back, you know that praying is a waste of wishes
I made a decision carry on, honor lives in the deed
Though the muse moves in decreased speed
Due to the wait, my dude lose patience with me?

Favor the Blue, you knew what I was training to be
I came for the taking of something they ain't seen back in Henry
The proximity to Knox's Fort's not given any
but
Cause to envy Lord when have we fought the enemy?
With more that afforded, we're storming the port of entry
In memory of the James Clan, my symphony of the
Flames fan to conquer, when the song come on pay the band
Send a percentage back, Oldham owed, factor in estate tax
Or waive it if it goes to pave Tobacco Road

[Hook]
Some memories I kept
Others left, others I must have let go to protect
Hold a check for the row I set ready? No, not yet
Well lemme know and I'll return to collect
They never found me cause Valerie's boy had a different rhythm to play to
And he gon' use his tools to break through
Mindful of the nights in that state, who they say life is what you make it
When really life is what makes you

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 [?]
