Tennessee's Been Good To Me lyrics

[Intro]

Tennessee, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I woke up fresh in the morning

Thankful that destiny's calling

Tennessee's been good to me

Tennessee's been good

Yeah

The door slid open

I walked in like I'm chosen

Tennessee's been good to me

Tennessee's been good

[Verse 1]

It take tact and poise

Dedication, sheer focus

The foresight to see the bigger picture

When all else seem hopeless

Mr. Holland's Opus

[?] and subpar

You can only get so far

Depending on how long the rope is

Smoking stogies down in uptown

Fueling our ignition on our own volition

[?] 'til it bust down

Everything like tsunamis

It's a shame how we got the game

Folded like an origami

Allow me to elaborate it further

Got blood on my hands and my lips too

From the verses being murdered

[?] surface

[?] your emotions

Ain't no penance for your efforts being worthless

[Chorus]

I woke up fresh in the morning

Thankful that destiny's calling

Tennessee's been good to me

Tennessee's been good

Yeah

The door slid open (what up?)

I walked in like I'm chosen

Tennessee's been good to me

Tennessee's been good

[Verse 2]

Woke up the fresh air

Had to put one in it

Been a minute since we touched down

Extended city limits

Not once did conform

We started an epidemic

[?]

Carving our own image

The black Michelangelos

Rap's Maya Angelou

Penning with the purpose

For the payment of residuals

(Yeah)

Some different individuals

Nah, we ain't natives

But chiefin' like we originals

We get love in the city

Politicians, [?], pastors, street figures

Share with the masses

Use it to make classic music

They being [?]

You trippin', we been had this

[Chorus]

I woke up fresh in the morning

Thankful that destiny's calling

Tennessee's been good to me

Tennessee's been good

Yeah

The door slid open (what up?)

I walked in like I'm chosen

Tennessee's been good to me

Tennessee's been good

[Interlude]

Tennessee's been good

Tennessee's been good

Tennessee's been good

We got em talking about it

Yeah

Tennessee's been good

Tennessee's been good

Tennessee's been good

We got em talking about it

Yeah

Tennessee

Tennessee

Tennessee

Tennessee

[Chorus]

I woke up fresh in the morning

Thankful that destiny's calling

Tennessee's been good to me

Tennessee's been good

Yeah

The door slid open (what up?)

I walked in like I'm chosen

Tennessee's been good to me

Tennessee's been good
