Louisiana Sky
Lyricist:Marcus Bleeker, Kibler Lee Jason, Tad Kinchla, Popper John C, Wilks Marcel A
Are we supposed to be strong? Are we supposed to be equal? All I heard or observed Are we disposable people?
Louisiana sky, don't hide the sun from me Don't make it rain on me, don't make it run from me Some say the city below sea level is vanishing We lost our homes but we're hungry and we're managing
I can't find my moms, can't locate my kids I don't know where my dog or my Tabby is Above clouds, Louisiana loud, ever flowing You know the rest and the weeds keeps growing
Comes the sun to Louisiana skies The storm has passed and the bayou cries Washed away lives and sins From out and under, it begins
Yo, we struggle underneath Louisiana sky It's slim pickings but we take a slice of humble pie Beneath the yellow sky, our spirit is strong Louisiana, let's rock on
Nowhere to go, nothing to move All that remains, a single groove From Mardi Gras to Congo Square A pulse to shuffle and it's all still there
Combining history with chicory and hickory sauce The battle's on between soldiers but the victory's lost 9th Ward, as it was, love of transition and all After the rains, our position was off
Our tradition scoffed, man making plantations, swamplands Travel into a hidden world of girls I can remember love of this Louisiana odyssey Of mysticism, magicians and magical commodities
Within the normal, we heard that the storm's coming Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Mammals and birds let us know that the storm's coming Move, stop, move 'em off the rooftops, relieve us Slow molasses, these asses from FEMA
We struggle underneath Louisiana sky It's slim pickings, take it with a slice of humble pie Beneath the yellow sky, our spirit is strong Louisiana, let's rock on, rock, rock on
In the early hours, in the morning haze From the oldest dance to the latest craze Hold your head up to Louisiana sky Big Easy children, build your levee high
Yo, we struggle underneath Louisiana sky It's slim pickings, take it with a slice of humble pie Beneath the yellow sky, our spirit is strong Louisiana, let's rock on
Comes the sun to Louisiana skies The storm has passed and the bayou cries Washed away lives and sins From out and under, it begins
We struggle underneath Louisiana sky It's slim pickings, take it with a slice of humble pie Beneath the yellow sky, our spirit is strong Louisiana, let's rock on
Yo, we struggle underneath Louisiana sky It's slim pickings, take it with a slice of humble pie Beneath the yellow sky, our spirit is strong Louisiana, rock, rock on
9th Ward, rock, rock on In the 8th Ward, rock, rock on In the 7th Ward, rock, rock on Congo Square, rock, rock on
The Warehouse District, rock, rock on In Algiers, rock, rock on [Incomprehensible]everybody, rock, rock on [Incomprehensible]rock, rock on
