Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here) |
Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here) |

<repeat> |
|
I heat up the way coffee be |
Tasty like pastry |
Got mo' flavors than
parsley |
With 9 aunties and 2 uncles |
I got a lot of cousins, so watch how you talk to me |
Good ol' places, good ol' times, doing good ol' thangs |
That was just the good ol' days, |
most of my people still look the same |
All though we deep in the numbers, |
Our feelings is close as the lotto ya heard me |
We originated in Louisiana way back in the 1930's |
On the farm in the son of mister and misses Joyner and Mary Tyler |
Hooked up with they daughter, |
Daughter Josephine the difference do you know what I mean |
She was on the cotton field |
He was on the farm where the cows get killed |
Then they moved off the plantation |
Then ??? came in a few mo' years |
First came Rosa Lee, then Lord June Bug, then Anna Lee |
Then Louise and Alberta, then my mama came who they call Marie |
Without a breather, um, here come Mary Alice, and Linda |
Po' Grandma stayed bare foot, pregnant, and always baring |
Don't worry be happy, whatever we got we was glad that we had it |
After that, here come the last three, (Who was?) |
Loyce, Alan, and Kathy |
|
Repeat
Chorus |
|
And I'm just another kid, |
that come from one of the children of dear papa |
One of Booko grandchildren, |
Represent
Lawrence and Elizabeth Tyler (like who?) |
And my cousin Harry, cousin Becky, my cousin's Derita and Larry |
Rocky, Walter, and Herbert, Meeky, |
and Tiffany, Cynthia, Dede, and Tary, |
Poncho, Erica and Junior, Mimi, Defra, Petey, Cheryl and Buster |
Jermaine and Fayette, Ronald and Donald, my crazy twin cousins |
Albert, Lil' Will, and Tasha, Trenette, Shirlet, Robby and Ranisha |
Lisa, Lil' Alan and Derrick and Teddy, |
Michelle, Marquel, and Michael and Rece, and Ronisha, |
Cory and Brandon, Ranika, Christy, and Marty and Kisha |
Craig, Geremy, Chad and Millian, my child Tary, ??? and Robel |
Ariel and Lawerence Anthony, Dazy, Courtney and Jaren |
Mikey, Brittney, and Kelan, Lil' Brian, Arian and Lil' Harry |
Keke and Brian junior, Nikki, Lil' Donald, and Donyette, |
And the people I forgot, Uncle Lynn, Uncle George, and Bafay and Auntie
Debroah |
|
Repeat
Chorus |
|
Now that you know about my family ties, |
and my family history, and my family size |
I done took ya back five generations and broke it down for ya, |
Now haven't I? |
From
great-grandparents to grandparents, |
Mama's and daddy's and Uncle's and Aunties |
To all of my
in-law's, nana's pa raisers and nephews and niece's |
From
momma's and papa's, stomach still growing so the number increases |
From sisters and brothers, baby daddy's, |
baby mama's, branch cousins and play cousins |
So watch how you look at me, |
You never know who I'm kind to when you pasting |
If you ain't in ya own back yard |
better be careful coz we just might ax ya |
|
Repeat
Chorus |
