Align:    
  • Written by John Mellencamp, Carlton Ridenhour and Kyle Jason
  • Hey Poppi yea ho
  • Hey Poppi yea ho
  • Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
  • Lay low proud Poppi
  • Lay low proud Poppi (shout it out)
  • He's from the deep south (shout it out)
  • Pass Christian Mississippi
  • Where the cane breaks are burnin' every night
  • Lay low proud Poppi (shout it out)
  • Chant:
  • Hey o
  • Hey o
  • O Poppi
  • Hey o
  • Hey o
  • Hey Poppi
  • Hey o
  • Hey o
  • Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
  • Poppi had a wife
  • And she was black and Poppi was white (shout it out)
  • Everything was rollin' great (shout it out)
  • 'Til some man called her race a disgrace
  • Oh no
  • Chant
  • Well Poppi went down to the river
  • To defend the honor of his wife
  • (somebody's killin' somebody)
  • Gonna drown the man in the water (shout it out)
  • And the water was shiny like a new knife
  • But Poppi stopped at the banks of the Delta
  • He said this sure ain't worth this man's life
  • Someday the wind of change
  • Is gonna blow on through
  • And put all of these jokers right
  • C'mon and sing now
  • Chant
  • Chuck D Rap:
  • Papa got a brand new bag
  • Delta blues got 'em dazed and confused
  • Came a long way crazy
  • Seems the abuse
  • Is racism's baby
  • It's wild
  • 'Cause I connect the word with pain
  • Now some smile when they scream the name?
  • Funny how the times have changed
  • And the rhymes have changed
  • But some cat's frame remains the same
  • Agitating adjective
  • What gives? die n word die
  • But I wanna live
  • Known' all this
  • Where the word came from
  • I must be 3 times stupid
  • And stuck on dumb
  • If I use it and confuse it
  • With a term of love
  • Now popular culture
