Track Name: Georgia Boy
Georgia Boy
Clifton Jennings


INTRO
Once upon a time the devil came down to Georgia
He got beat
So they sayin’ that boy came out of nowhere… naw
I’m a Georgia Boy… listen


CHORUS
So she said, “Are you a Georgia boy?” I said Yes m’am!
“So do you slow dance?” Every chance I can
Someone hold my drink while I show her where to put her hands
Someone hold my drink while I show her where to put her hands

Said are you a Georgia girl? She said “Yes I am”
So when you slow dance you want a little romance?
“Yeah daddy lemme show you where to put your big… (laughing)
Yeah daddy lemme show you where to put your big hands”


VERSE 1
She said Are you a Georgia boy I said Baby
I’m still a South rebel ATL devil yelling
And I’m riding in that Chevy with the petal to the metal on
285 this ain’t no rental in the ghetto

I’m a regular homegrown TI ring tone
Red and Navy fitted with an A above the bill fold
Stuffed like a prom dress plush like my arm rest
Let my arm rest till I’m off like a prom dress

I must confess I don’t want a wife white dress
I want a wife in a white limo undressed
Like a little room prelude to that honeymoon
Do you? I do! Do you? I do! And now she wants it rough... yes

I think you know what comes next
Mile high club sound drowned out by the jets
Upon arrival I’ll carry her up the steps
I’m not romantic she just can’t feel her legs


CHORUS
So she said, “Are you a Georgia boy?” I said Yes m’am!
“So do you slow dance?” Every chance I can
Someone hold my drink while I show her where to put her hands
Someone hold my drink while I show her where to put her hands

Said are you a Georgia girl? She said “Yes I am”
So when you slow dance you want a little romance?
“Yeah daddy lemme show you where to put your big… (laughing)
Yeah daddy lemme show you where to put your big hands”


VERSE 2
Show her how the South hustles show her how the South shuffles
Take her to the chopping block studio sound muffled
Take her to the chop shop candy paint metal muscle
Take her to the chocolate shop feed that pretty mouth truffles

Clifton Jennings you can call me trouble
Got an eye to the sky you can call me Hubble
Clutch like a big shot I’m living on the bubble
Bout a buck 85 and I didn’t move that duffle

I’m a diamond mine dealer shuffles
Got a lotta chips put the rough in ruffles
I only write hits lyrical brass knuckles
I keep ‘em in stitches with punch line chuckles

I’m vying for airtime like Nasa shuttles
Got Atlanta on my back like Marta trestles
Show Love to these southern girls watch their busts bustle
I’m a Georgia boy you know she wants to be a couple
‘cause she said


CHORUS
So she said, “Are you a Georgia boy?” I said Yes m’am!
“So do you slow dance?” Every chance I can
Someone hold my drink while I show her where to put her hands
Someone hold my drink while I show her where to put her hands

Said are you a Georgia girl? She said “Yes I am”
So when you slow dance you want a little romance?
“Yeah daddy lemme show you where to put your big… (laughing)
Yeah daddy lemme show you where to put your big hands”

Alright

Track Name: Dressed to Kill
Dressed to Kill
Clifton Jennings


CHORUS
Black hat black T… “Yes I’m dressed to kill”
Black rims on the Jeep… “Chyeah I’m dressed to kill”
Black shoes on my feet… “Yeah I’m dressed to kill”
You won’t see me… “Cause I’m dressed to kill”

Got a black bandanna… “Yes I’m dressed to kill”
Posse big like Montana… “Chyeah I’m dressed to kill”
Still slanging country grammar… “And I’m dressed to kill”
And you know I’m from Atlanta… “Cause I’m dressed to kill”


VERSE 1
“Introducing Clifton Jennings” …Sincerely yours
Boy’s senseless on the mic we’re making serious noise
They say my flow’s bananas guess I’m Curious George
I’m the dirtiest rapper claiming the good name of the

Lord please forgive ‘em they don’t know what they’re doing
They don’t know that I’ll ruin anything they construe and
I’m out the box out the foxhole hot in pursuit and true if
I catch him the glock’s cold but I’ll heat a hole through him

Sometimes on the mic I sound like TI flowing
And if I’m on the streets I’ma GI JOE him
Go on show me you can rap I’m tired of these poems
Quit blowing on your dro and lo and behold you’re no one

Here’s the 411 son money can’t buy manners.
So don’t insult the game thinking money’s all that matters
I got people who would die for me I don’t need swagger
No dagger in the back I’ll put your head on a platter


CHORUS
Black hat black T… “Yes I’m dressed to kill”
Black rims on the Jeep… “Chyeah I’m dressed to kill”
Black shoes on my feet… “Yeah I’m dressed to kill”
You won’t see me… “Cause I’m dressed to kill”

Got a black bandanna… “Yes I’m dressed to kill”
Posse big like Montana… “Chyeah I’m dressed to kill”
Still slanging country grammar… “And I’m dressed to kill”
And you know I’m from Atlanta… “Cause I’m dressed to kill”


VERSE 2
I’m creeping through the parking lot turning down the avenue
These dogs like to bark a lot acting like they mad at you
And whether it’s dark or not somebody’s gonna act a fool
I’m dressed to kill and it’s all about your attitude

What it do yeah we’re sharing a latitude
From Atlanta grammar where they know what a hammer do
Alabama Mississippi to Louisiana blues
Paint a picture of the south a panoramic view

Been known for the hustle known for the chrome belt buckle
Known to bust one with my knuckles and chuckle
I might throw him off a train trestle
This is professional he’s just special

I might hit you in the head remember I don’t wrestle
Unless we jockey for position I pop it with precision
Drop the body wrapped in linen on a seafaring vessel
And write a verse about it as a warning to the rest of you


CHORUS
Black hat black T… “Yes I’m dressed to kill”
Black rims on the Jeep… “Chyeah I’m dressed to kill”
Black shoes on my feet… “Yeah I’m dressed to kill”
You won’t see me… “Cause I’m dressed to kill”

Got a black bandanna… “Yes I’m dressed to kill”
Posse big like Montana… “Chyeah I’m dressed to kill”
Still slanging country grammar… “And I’m dressed to kill”
And you know I’m from Atlanta… “Cause I’m dressed to kill”

Track Name: Raised in The Woods
Raised in The Woods
Clifton Jennings


INTRO
Chyeah, Clifton Jennings, liveBIG Records...
This one goes out to the small towns...


CHORUS x 2
What you know ‘bout the South (We were raised in the woods)
What you know ‘bout the South (Playin’ in the red mud)
What you know ‘bout the South (From the mountains to the hoods)
We were raised in the woods (We were raised in the woods)

What you know ‘bout the South (We were raised in the woods)
What you know ‘bout the South (Playin’ in the red mud)
What you know ‘bout the South (From the mountains to the hoods)
We were raised in the woods (We were raised in the woods)


VERSE 1
What you know 'bout life on a lake catfish and grits and gravy
All the hoes go with rakes all the guns got scopes and safeties
All the rings are in the tub all the dreams are in the bud
What you know bout country livin’ red clay and Georgia mud

So what I’m Southern yeah country by the grace of God
I’m as Georgia as they come peaches and pecan pie
Jesus done forgave my sins but daddy’s belt would tan my hide
And I’m just tryin’ to survive I been working overtime

Learned the meaning to the words supersize and doublewide
This ain’t the place for me I love it but there’s more to life
Mama believed in my dream a parent can change everything
Apparently there’s boulders gotta overcome adversity

On the road to ATL speeding south on 85
They cain’t send us straight to jail we done straightened out our lives
Only thing I carry on me is a hunter’s skinning knife
Double bladed edge serrated handle inlaid elevated that’s my baby


CHORUS x 2
What you know ‘bout the South (We were raised in the woods)
What you know ‘bout the South (Playin’ in the red mud)
What you know ‘bout the South (From the mountains to the hoods)
We were raised in the woods (We were raised in the woods)

What you know ‘bout the South (We were raised in the woods)
What you know ‘bout the South (Playin’ in the red mud)
What you know ‘bout the South (From the mountains to the hoods)
We were raised in the woods (We were raised in the woods)



VERSE 2
What you know 'bout LaPrade’s chicken or my mama’s scratch biscuits
Sunday morning finger licking fixings from the kitchen
Singing I’ll fly away but ya’ll ain’t listening
You’re just waiting for noontime when that moonshine’s gon kick in

I get up every morning thinking 'bout where I’ve been
Thinking 'bout where I’m going with this paper and pen
I’ve seen resilience so far in all of my kin
And I know things ain’t nearly as hard as they was back then

Between hunting and fishing making gravy and babies
Trapping and wishing raisin chillun to say please
They made the ends meet between hard work and saving
So I stay on my knees between faith and praying

Though I know time is going I don’t think that I’m aging
I’ve been planning to blow up ever since I was 18
Now I’m fixing to ball in these camouflage overalls
No drawers it’s over dawg this one is for all of ya’ll

Deer stand to mike stand saws all to hardball
Barefoot to Timberlands neked to slaw dog
What’ll ya have... Don’t get mad
We were raised in the woods bring it back


CHORUS x 2
What you know ‘bout the South (We were raised in the woods)
What you know ‘bout the South (Playin’ in the red mud)
What you know ‘bout the South (From the mountains to the hoods)
We were raised in the woods (We were raised in the woods)

What you know ‘bout the South (We were raised in the woods)
What you know ‘bout the South (Playin’ in the red mud)
What you know ‘bout the South (From the mountains to the hoods)
We were raised in the woods (We were raised in the woods)

Track Name: Here We Go Again (feat. Chloë Cahill)
Here We Go Again
Clifton Jennings


INTRO
You're gonna miss me
The way I miss you
When you're gone
you're gonna miss me


VERSE 1
Nose to nose she’s up on her tiptoes
Hand on her hip one finger in my chest bone
This close I can see her eyelashes
Batting eyes flashing as they squinch close

When those eyes open wide
It’s like I’m inside her mind and she’s exposed
Tonight they’re shut so tight
Baby don’t cry I’ll make it all right


CHORUS A
Here we go again
-
Here we go again
-

Here we go again
-
Here we go again
-


VERSE 2
In the mornings no covers shivering
Quivering thinking what if it had been different
Breakfast cinnamon rolls eggs Benedict
What ever happened to friends with benefits

That’s my sentiment some call it counterfeit
I call her my get down on the counter chick
And she calls it fun
But fun isn’t love when love's on the run


CHORUS B
You’re gonna miss me
The way I kiss you
When you’re gone
You’re gonna miss me

You’re gonna miss me
The way I miss you
When you’re gone
You’re gonna miss me


VERSE 3
Like your childhood haunted by how good
That boy was raised in the wild woods
I’m a wildchild straight from a southtown
Stubborn as the hard ground that’s my style now

Then you came along eyes like a sharp plow
Ripped me to pieces and tended the soft ground
Scattered the seeds and watered for weeks
And now what was buried underneath has gotten out

Baby I love you
I don’t wanna fight I wanna indulge you
My favorite parts of me are made of you
But it’s so hard to set my pride down

Right now let’s make up is it a break up
If you make out for a while
It’s just so easy when roots run deeply
But please don’t leave me it would rip my heart out


CHORUS A
Here we go again
-
Here we go again
-

Here we go again
-
Here we go again
-


CHORUS B
You're gonna miss me
The way I kiss you
When you're gone
You're gonna miss me


CHORUS B & A
You're gonna miss me (Here we go again)
The way I miss you
When you're gone (Here we go again )
You're gonna miss me... miss me


CHORUS B & A
You're gonna miss me (Here we go again)
The way I miss you
When you're gone (Here we go again )
You're gonna miss me

You're gonna miss me (Here we go again)
The way I miss you
When you're gone (Here we go again )
You're gonna miss me


CHORUS A
Here we go again

Here we go again

Here we go again

Here we go again

Track Name: Abnormalities (Normal Girl)
Abnormalities (Normal Girl)
Clifton Jennings


INTRO
Now, I ain't tryna throw anybody under the bus on this one
I'm just sayin' We all know this girl...
If you don't know this girl, she might be you!


CHORUS
She’s got a different purse for every personality
She’s keeping it real in each of her realities
She owns formal clothes but doesn’t know any formalities
She’s just a normal girl with a few abnormalities

He mouth is foul and her words are fallacies
She wants a new local but doesn’t know the locality
Her sex is casual and she’s bout to be causality
She’s just a normal girl with a few abnormalities


VERSE 1
Daddy buy me this sweater daddy buy me a mustang
My life would be so much better on top of the food chain
And Jenny gets anything that she wants for Christmas
It may be too soon in June but here’s my wish list

It I get A’s and B’s will you pay for a boob job
I want a couple of D’s to fill out this tube top
This blue thong bikini’s so pretty isn’t it teeny
I’ll keep all the boys thinking (Dude I bet she does a good job!)

I need some new headbands can I get a web cam
And a mirror on my ceiling so I can apply my fake tan
This guy thinks I’m so hot and I know that he smokes pot a lot
But he said he’d stop if I took all my clothes off

I met him on a slow jog he’d just escaped a road block
He kept saying he had to go and oh god don’t stop
I think he’s my true love cause he gave me 2 hugs
And we didn’t do much but I gave him blue nuts


CHORUS
She's got a different purse for every personality...
(As the family doctor and long time friend
of John and Nancy Normal, I was disappointed
in their daughter when, "Oh my god, you're such a slut...

Oh my god YOU'RE such a slut..." turned into,
"Oh my god, we're actually sluts..."
And I couldn't help but wonder...
What was her daddy thinking?


VERSE 2
Daddy’s scared for his daughter this ain’t the way she was brought up
Caught up in Hannah Montanna now she’s chasing the dollar
Terrifying her father going harder and farther
Now she's brushing her shoulder off like she wants a baller

So now the caller ID says the number’s unlisted
Impala on twenty threes this ain’t no jeep with a lift kit
Got a big back seat yeah the better to get with it
And daddy ain’t pleased with these boys that limp a bit

What happened to Titanic he raves and becomes frantic
He panics, never had a good grasp of romantic
Never went through a crazy stage crisis in middle age
Or anything remotely close to raising a teenage

Girl the whole world is her pearl she’s already gone wild
Found out that she could shake it curvy in the right places
(Don’t worry dad I’ll be safe it’s just a date we’re going out)
But now she likes to be naked making a meow sound


CHORUS
She's got a different purse for every personality...
(Knowing that John and Nancy were in over their heads
when it came to their teenage daughter...
I decided to take things into my own hands... literally

and give her some advice from me,
her friendly neighborhood gynecologist.
So, at her regular appointment, I sat her down,
reclined the chair back... and pulled on my rubber gloves.)


VERSE 3
Lean back and spread 'em wide got her feet in the stirrups
Cause she sipped too much syrup and went home with some guy
Now listen here young lady if you don’t want a baby
Maybe you should quit acting crazy and listen to me I’m your gy-

necologist I acknowledge it’s a little awkward it’s just
I could be your daddy and I’m sad he doesn’t know how to show you
That he loves you but that’s no reason to run through
Every guy wearing a jersey who’s as dumb as you in summer school

Maybe you should practice abstinence that means saying no
When he pokes you... suggests that you can’t handle this
Tell him he can have a kiss but you won’t be having
Any shenanigans in your pants and that’s no fault of his

I know you think that makes you awful cause he bought you
All that chocolate but trust me hard times are just karma
And having puppy dog eyes and a cute tail that wags a bit
Doesn’t mean you have to bury a bone to prove you’re adequate


OUTRO
Oh my god, so I went to the gynecologist right, and he tells me to spread 'em wide.
Can you believe he said that? That's exactly what Tim said last week!
And I just thought the coincidence was ridiculous.
And now that we've all gotten together I think that we're gonna be one big happy family!
Ahahaa

Track Name: Take a Ride With Me
Take a Ride With Me
Clifton Jennings


INTRO
Sometimes I feel like… nobody understands
See I went to school in Atlanta… I but spent my summers in the mountains
And I love the city… but I also love the country
So this song’s for everybody who’s missing home… no matter where you’re from


CHORUS
Take a ride with me down the middle of a gravel road
Laughing with the mountain folk down at the corner store
Ride with me (chyeah yeah)
Just ride with me (aye aye)

Take a ride with me through the skyscraper city heights
Rap away the city nights underneath the bright lights
Ride with me (chyeah yeah)
Just ride with me (aye aye)


VERSE 1
Cruising I’m listening to the crickets katydids and cicada’s
Got my windows rolled down cause the woods are making music
Paying tribute to the families putting food on the tables
And it’s beautiful and tragic unscrupulous magic

Fireworks firewood forest fires and fireflies
Yeah we got that fire and the torch light’s shining bright
Ride or die never lied I could walk a country mile
Told my aunt Virginia I would never let the fire die

Made an oath way up in the smoky mountains
Lake water raised a toast made for the mountain folks
I’ll never be better than the river from which I sprang
And if they put me on I’ll put the country on everything

Clifton Jennings mama said to be humble
Mention her and I can promise there will be trouble
Scream muffled me gasoline and a cheap duffle
Take a ride with me I’ll take you to the jungle


CHORUS
Take a ride with me down the middle of a gravel road
Laughing with the mountain folk down at the corner store
Ride with me (chyeah yeah)
Just ride with me (aye aye)

Take a ride with me through the skyscraper city heights
Rap away the city nights underneath the bright lights
Ride with me (chyeah yeah)
Just ride with me (aye aye)


VERSE 2
Leaning and weaving through the traffic laid back dodging potholes
Fitted Braves cap laid back strike a sharp pose
Playing rap instrumentals from the lab
Writing visions on a pad poetry and dark prose

And I got the notion I was chose to be the spokesman
A thousand lights in the darkness even constellations need bones
And even hip hop needs hope
Just having the Midas touch doesn’t mean you bleed gold

And I’m just a man but I was born with humongous shoulders
Balls like boulders and a heart that beats slow
And in the city every citizen’s a soldier
Drop another tower you’ll see how deep we roll

Clifton Jennings and don’t forget my thirty cousins
Buzzing cause the dirty doesn’t budge unless the streets love it
Mean mugging like you can’t stand the heat
Take a ride with me I will take you to the oven


CHORUS x 2
Take a ride with me down the middle of a gravel road
Laughing with the mountain folk down at the corner store
Ride with me (chyeah yeah)
Just ride with me (aye aye)

Take a ride with me through the skyscraper city heights
Rap away the city nights underneath the bright lights
Ride with me (chyeah yeah)
Just ride with me (aye aye)


Take a ride with me down the middle of a gravel road
Laughing with the mountain folk down at the corner store
Ride with me (chyeah)
Just ride with me (aye aye)

Take a ride with me through the skyscraper city heights
Rap away the city nights underneath the bright lights
Ride with me (chyeah)
Just ride with me (aye)
