This saying describes the LACS, they saw what was already there, had big dreams to be there, and asked the music industry why not? Their hick hop and southern rock sound is stronger than the moonshine they drink. The LACS which is the famous short abbreviation of the Loud Ass Crackers are from the sandy dirt roads of Baxley, Georgia. A South Georgia town more famous for its sawmills and turpentine stills than for having a successful southern rap group. The LACS consist of hip hop artist Clay “Uncle Snap” Sharpe and lead vocalist / guitarist Brian “ Rooster” King. With a blue collar background they have worked shutdowns with the union and framed many a house to earn enough money keep their music dreams alive. The LACS latest album is still in the works but already has created a buzz with its contributions from Average Joe recording artist Colt Ford on the song “Shindig” and allowing the LACS the privilege of performing some of his tour dates.

"Memory"

The longer I drink the more I know
That you ain't the one for me
Open up the cooler and have one more
Cuz you're just a memory
The longer I drink the more I know
That you ain't the one for me

It's half past 12 and now I know that you're just a memory

It's the middle of the night I'm feeling so right with my fist full drinkin
Baby done gone, when you comin home, I guess thats wishful thinkin
A drunk mans words are a simple mans thoughts, at least thats what I've heard
If that's the case look around this place, because now I'm better off without her

The longer I drink the more I know
That you ain't the one for me
Open up the cooler and have one more
Cuz you're just a memory
The longer I drink the more I know
That you ain't the one for me
It's half past 2 and now I know that you're just a memory

You never did say I was right
Wasn't that hard to do
Now I get a buzz every night
Never made one damn shit to you you told me you love me but baby I don't lie
Might've said this could've said that but you said goodbye
Makes me want to drink till the sun comes up like an old West cowboy
Made my round, every bar in town
Get drunk because I ain't your cowboy no more

The longer I drink the more I know
That you ain't the one for me
Open up the cooler and have one more
Cuz you're just a memory
The longer I drink the more I know
That you ain't the one for me
It's half past 5 and now I know that you're just a memory

You're just a memory

I've been doing a little thinking in a whole lot of drinking
You better call the Coast Guard because baby we sinking
In a river of a love that never did exist
Took a cooler full of beer just realize this
Put a quarter in the jukebox, me and you were on the rocks, play another sad song to see where it stops
In the corner of my mind I knew it wasn't going to last
Pop a top, cut a block, and let's leave it in the past

The longer I drink the more I know
That you ain't the one for me
Open up the cooler and have one more
Cuz you're just a memory
The longer I drink the more I know

That you ain't the one for me
And the sun is up and now I know that you're just a memory

Overall Meaning

The Lacs's "Memory" is a song that speaks to the idea that sometimes, the more we drink, the more we come to realize that someone we were once attached to is no longer the one for us. The lyrics tell the story of the singer drinking the night away, realizing with each passing hour that the person they once loved is now just a memory. The song is built on the idea that alcohol can make us more truthful about our feelings, and the more we drink, the more we come to realize what our hearts are telling us.

The second verse of the song speaks directly to the emotional toll that the person's departure has taken on the singer. The phrase "A drunk man's words are a simple man's thoughts" captures how alcohol can bring clarity to love and relationships we once thought were complicated or difficult. The chorus repeats the sentiment that alcohol has a way of making us see things more clearly, as we come to realize that someone we once thought was everything is now just a memory.

Overall, "Memory" uses alcohol as a metaphor for how love and emotions can be both complicated and simple simultaneously. The song speaks to a universal truth that sometimes, it takes distance and time to realize that someone we were once in love with is no longer the one for us.
