WINNING STREAK by Kainan Seth Lyrics
[intro]
Winning streak, winning streak, winning streak, winning streak
Winning streak, winning streak, winning streak, winning streak!
[verse one]
My Nana grew up as a sharecropper
Her mama was a French Pearl, that's why she proper
She picked a lot a cotton up back in the day
There was lil' money gotten, but her daddy drank it all away
Papa's family was lucky to bear light
But some of their genes came out dark in the mix
His own people called him "black boy, black boy"
Trauma after 'Nam had him scared of the ticks
And this was Louisiana during Civil Rights
When segregation permeated all around the South
The Klan had people scared every single night
And the only thing was mixing was salad in the house!
[bridge]
Even then we got God as the core settin'
Only thing we ever needed was living religion
But can you handle that they barely had a pot to piss in
But apparently it don't matter 'cuz we on a winning streak
[pre-hook]
Don't say this ain't real, just 'cuz we wasn't in the streets
This a five course meal, so you should go head and have a seat
[hook]
Go on and take it in, I don't really care what you think
We been on our grind fo' a long time, now we on a winning streak
Don't speak ill about us, what you know 'bout me
We been on our grind fo' a long time, now we on a winning streak, yeah
[Chorus]
Winning streak, winning streak, winning streak, winning streak
Winning streak, winning streak, winning streak, winning streak!
[verse two]
Now I got folks lying all about my background
I don't know what you been smoking, but you better pipe down
People say my life as a black man ain't real
But when I pull the Creole card, you can't even deal!
My great grandma was 12 when her dad was shot in front of her
We was to be quiet, or it's "nigg[er] what you stunting for"
And my Mawmaw and Papa said racism was daily back then
I hope you come to understand, but even then
You'll never know what my mom went through
Agent Orange in the home, called an oreo at school
You'll never know what my dad went through
Oldest brother died in 79, but he ain't grieve 'till he was 42!
[bridge]
Even then we got God as the core settin'
Only thing we ever wanted was living religion
But can you handle that we almost went missing
But apparently it don't matter 'cuz we on a winning streak
[pre-hook]
Don't say this ain't real, just 'cuz we wasn't in the streets
This a five course meal, so you should go head and have a seat
[hook x2]
Go on and take it in, I don't really care what you think
We been on our grind fo' a long time, now we on a winning streak
Don't speak ill about us, what you know 'bout me
We been on our grind fo' a long time, we on a winning streak
[outro]
Winning streak, winning streak, winning streak, winning streak
Winning streak, winning streak, winning streak, winning stre-
Winning streak, winning streak, winning streak, winning streak
Winning streak, winning streak, winning streak, winning streak!
