Uncle Smokey by Eli Manna Lyrics
Colla Greens, Next Bones Cuzzo bring the Sax Out
Simple Man, Uncle Smokey grew up in a small town
Accent Thicker Then the sugar in our sweet tea
Piano in the back kissing on my fingers sweetly
Black don’t crack
Pride in that
Might even say amen to that
No politics for Uncle Smokey that’s the city problem
A nigga got some problems best believe uncle can solve em
Love The Lord and Love Everyone
That’s our motto
True happiness comes from the heart not lettucе or the bottle
Fetish for thе bible
Took Ol Smokey out the cycle
That and every album made from Prince, Stevie and Michael
Don’t remember much aside from him giving me possom
Taste like chicken, mean lil guy not too sad we lost him
Told him that I started singing he said J that’s awesome
Faith a result of the cancer life is what it cost him
Don’t
Wake me up, Don’t Wake me up no
Wake me up, Don’t Wake me up no
Wake me up, Don’t Wake me up no
Wake me up, Don’t Wake me up no
Countryside where them chickens like to come and play
Family all around but I can’t ever stay
I was always that lil needle in the stack of hay
Drama, Trama repeat cycle every Sunday
That’s like a blood that dresses up like a crip
That’s like Aliyah jumping off of the ship
That’s like Martin Luther King with a clip
Sweet Georgia Tea take a sip
Took a step back and listened to the family function
Gossip here, Laughing there was really much of nothing
I got to thinking why do I feel like I’m oh so distance
Asked my brother he looked up and said “it’s cuz your different”
That night I thought about them words that obviously came from God
Wasn’t happy, wasn’t sad or mad just thought it was odd
How could my blood shun me when all I ever wanted was love
Why did he set me up I swear I heard him laugh from above
Don’t
Wake me up, Don’t Wake me up no
Wake me up, Don’t Wake me up no
Wake me up, Don’t Wake me up no
Wake me up, Don’t Wake me up no
Simple Man, Uncle Smokey grew up in a small town
Accent Thicker Then the sugar in our sweet tea
Piano in the back kissing on my fingers sweetly
Black don’t crack
Pride in that
Might even say amen to that
