Sally Sue Lyrics by ManKind X The Deity Complex

Juneteenth (1820​-​1920)

2017

[Hook 1: SciryL and Akil Loving]
I’d be dead if her granddaddy knew
That I was here, kissing Sally Sue
(I’d be dead if her granddaddy knew)
Sally Sue. Uh, yo
I’d be dead if her granddaddy knew
That I was here, kissing Sally Sue. Hmm
I’d be dead if her granddaddy knew
Hmm. My grandmomma
Would roll over in her grave if she knew
That I was here, kissing Sally Sue
She’d roll over in her grave if she knew
(If I was here, kissing Sally Sue)
[Hook 2: SciryL and Akil Loving]
And sometimes
She’d lick the tears from my eyes and say, “It tastes like
Rain, tastes like…” What it taste like?
What it taste like?
And sometimes
She’d lick the blood from my wounds and say, “It tastes like
Pain.” What it taste like? What it taste like?
What it taste like?
[Verse 1: SciryL]
Yo, having thoughts of
Moving forward or backing off her. Hmm
A little something that she had to offer—I’m talking ‘bout
Sally Sue—that’s the master’s daughter. She rocks a fake smile
To mask her aura often. She likes black boys, and
I’m black as night. The last couple nights
We had some moments, actually sort of feel caught up
Caught hung-up, strung-up over this thing
Hoping that these thoughts become us. It’s the feeling of
Running towards something you ought to run from, un-
-even breathing, motherfuckers, one lung, unlucky
Baker’s dozen. From one promise, “Sally Sue and Me”
Carved into the tree that I was hung from
One
[Hook 1: SciryL and Akil Loving]
I’d be dead if her granddaddy knew
That I was here, kissing Sally Sue
(I’d be dead if her granddaddy knew)
[Verse 2: SooFlyy]
Used to have a thing for this dude named Kevin
He was white but he had a groove like Devin
Shit went left, so I got it right from Heaven
But let me get back to this life lesson
Said he wasn’t really down with them Democrats
Houston was his mentor, and he had his back
He said he had a younger sister named Sally Sue
His parents didn’t know, but she was swirling too
Kevin had a thing for what he couldn’t have
Kiss by the sun and an ass that ain’t flat
Daddy warned his son that the people would attack, but
He brushed it off ‘cause he knew his love was a fact
[Hook 2: SooFlyy]
Sometimes
He’d lick my eye and one tear and said, “It tastes like
Rain, tastes like (rain), tastes like (rain)”
And sometimes
He’d lick the blood from my wound and said, “It tastes like
Pain, tastes like (pain), tastes like (pain)”
What it taste like?
[Interlude: !LLumiN@TE]
What it taste like?
[Hook 1: !LLumiN@TE]
I’d be dead if her granddaddy knew
That I was here, kissing Sally Sue
I’d be dead if her granddaddy knew
My grandmomma
Would roll over in her grave if she knew
That I was here, kissing Sally Sue
She’d roll over in her grave if she knew
[Verse 3: !LLumiN@TE]
Black mountains and vanilla skies
Ain’t nothing said, butter spread, caterpillar flies
We can’t fly away? Then be a fly on
The wall—shit, I could die today. I feel so alive
Yet my everyday life is still so deprived
She let a field nigga go inside. I’m in
Her house. I can’t stay long, I’m in and out
I ain’t trying to run out of my luck—I’m in the South
This is Southern hospitality, love and actuality
I don’t get paid just like the salary. Sweet Sally
Patti Mayonnaise on a beef patty
He’s the master, but somehow she calling me daddy
Daddy issues. She taught me to read
And real life is what I taught her to see. We’re eye-to-eye
I told her that I want to be free. To my surprise, she dis-
-appeared and came back with a horse that I could ride
