Coco Smith - Tennessee Lyrics

Tennessee in the summer and the
Greenery hasn't disappeared and
You don't know why
You don't know why

Water has never looked clearer
And I've been told I'll get culture shock
Every once in a while
Every once in a while

Lady staring at me in the church we found
She says, "You better smile, cuz you're standing on holy ground"
"On Holy Ground"

Judgment Day is coming up upon me, and I'm not prepared
Forty days until the flood is over, will it be over then?
Stolen land, our holy ground is burning, and I'm not prepared
Wash me, purify me in the ocean, will it be over then?

Will it be over then?
Will it be over then?
Will it be over then?

Marco loved me with everything that he had
I hated him, bet his cards on me
Eventually, he got what he wanted

Judgment Day is coming up upon me, and I'm not prepared
Forty days until the flood is over, will it be over then?
Will it be over then?

Now it's behind the bar and the jury's taking ten
In the State of New York, represented by a voice
"I'll allow," "I'll allow," "I'll allow it"
"I'll allow," "I'll allow," "I'll allow it"

Knowing it's over then
Kicking and screaming
Knowing I'm innocent
F*cking thing can't even kick yet

Is this holy ground?
Is this holy ground?
Is this holy ground?
Is this holy ground?

Tennessee in the summer and the
Leaves aren't growing back and
You don't know why
