Bayou Lyrics by Jontae

Til Memories

2024

[Intro]
(Yashi)
(Take it easy, ZK, this is supposed to be a party)
Uh, look

[Verse 1]
Look, they finna tell her she aggressive and beg her to move back
Tell her she offensive, but really her mood black
And they don't wanna deal with a women who attitude bad
She been walkin' 'round the funeral, lookin' through bags

[Chorus]
Baby from the middle of the Bayou
I know I don't listen, but I tried to
I never meant to come off as a nigga from the Bayou
Ah (Ah, ah, ah)
Ayy, mm

[Verse 2]
We from the middle of the town
Where everyone known for the shit that's goin' down
They don't tell you this at home, but the shit they throwin' down
And they don't know what it means, just be playin' it along
And puttin' it in the songs for the hoes who around
Baby was always singin' for a love she never found
Now her reason for believin' in true love is in the ground
I know I said I'd never leave, but the pressure in your eyes was feedin' me to the pound

[Chorus]
Baby from the middle of the Bayou
I know I don't listen, but I tried to
I never meant to come off as a nigga from the Bayou
Ah (Ah, ah, ah)
Ayy, mm

[Verse 3]
But we really from the Bayou
Ooh, I never told you I was hurtin', but I tried to
And I always felt your pain, but I can never say I cried too
And them conversations in the middle of the night
Was leadin' me to despise all the people that was lied to
With all the good jobs and fake smiles, I see you tryin' too
I do my thing, mama, who the fuck you lyin' to?
You wasn't too far, the next room, when I was cryin' too
But I don't blame you, it's crazy, the pain
And now all that I know is all the mislead and lies you
You told me was in vain
Never thought I'll see the day
Where I can change lives and be myself without the pridefulness of bein'

[Refrain]
Tortured by the stories of the Bayou
I know I don't listen, but I tried to
I always felt your pain, but I can never say I cried too
Them conversations in the middle of the night
Was leadin' me to despise all the people in the Bayou (Bayou)

[Outro]
All the people in the Bayou (Bayou)
Look
But baby from the middle of the Bayou (Bayou)
Know I don't listen, but I tried to
Baby
Baby from the middle of the Bayou
