Bonafide's my name, to change the game is my aim,
Gone break the chain and stake my claim, while putting Nashville all on the brain,
With a twist of the mid-south twang, and a little bit of bounce to bang,
Gone feed the soul, and crowd the floors, and take control, and break the mould,
Kick the doors, and spit the flows, we in the pros; what, you ain't know'
'Cause round here they caddy roll, with gold grills and twenty wheels, on Jefferson at Mary Ribs,
Bounce to this from state to fisk,
We keep it hot for every spot, been 'round the world done seen a lot,
Gonna rep my home, this mean a lot,
To all the boys out on the block, got love for y'all; for real, dog,
You the reason I'm here at all, and took the call to break the fall,
And show the way from where I stay, in Tennessee, boy, the dirty south.

65, south riding, dirty window down, open mouth,
Spirit stirred off the sermon I just heard, that's my word,
Dipped and doused, awakened quickly, mould me, shape me, but first strip, hold me, take me to extremes in my reside,
Though it seems I'm so beside myself in this state,
I'm place, in open the box, my fate,
Encased in, break the seal and let me out,
In Tennessee that's what I'm talking 'bout,
Now I'm here, not much can stop me,
You a supporter if you got this copy,
Now show them pearlies, boys and girlies, buff and burlies, straight and curlies,
No surprises, where we at, got all shapes and sizes,
Put on the brakes remove all disguises,
Erupt like geysers, sound off one time,
Whether sadistic, legalistic outcast, or misfit, fortune-teller mystic,
Ones who love God revere him, fear him,
These and more are found in my district.
