That's What We On Now
Yelawolf Lyrics

Yeah, so you might see me wit uh.. 87, rusty.
You may spot me with my '87 truck that's old and rusty, but that's my style. You should try it too. Hit me up if you want to learn more.

Still throwin' beer cans in the gutter mang, flick a parliament, hub cap ornament.
I still litter beer cans on the road, toss cigarette butts, and use hubcaps as decorations. It's a southern thing, just like my love for Parliament cigarettes.

Deer head on the wall it's a bubba thang, not just sparks but I'm sparkin' a Parliament.
Having a deer head mount on the wall is a redneck tradition. And, yeah, I'm smoking another Parliament. It's not just to light a fire, but to get high.

Again I'm a chain smoker, stuck to the flame poker I'm hot. Keep the party goin' don't stop.
I am a chain smoker, addicted to the lighter's flame. I am always hot and ready to party. Don't stop the fun, keep it going.

New shoes, thrifty Bill Cosby sweater, drinkin' out the keg no greek frat letters.
I got some new shoes and a used sweater, just like Bill Cosby would wear. I am drinking beer straight from the keg, without any Greek fraternity letters. That's not my scene.

Bumpin' skinny pimp, Petty and Eddy Vetter.
I am listening to music by Skinny Pimp, Tom Petty, and Eddie Vedder. I am not into mainstream pop, but into gritty rap, rock, and country.

Ain't no Eddy Bower, no scary cowards you better check tha Y E L A W O L F.
I am not some fancy Eddie Bauer type, but a real man with street cred. You better watch out for me, YelaWolf, because I am one bad-ass motherfucker.

Buddy I'm in ya ash tray like a toenail clip.
I am like dirt in your ashtray, like toenail clippings. You can't avoid me, I am everywhere.

Flick flick the cherry, don't ash on my sofa.
I am smoking another cigarette and flicking the ash. Don't let it fall onto my sofa or it'll stain it.

I'm on some new mobile home shit come on ova.
I've upgraded my mobile home and made it my own. Come over and check it out. I am proud of it and it reflects who I am.

Keep heavy metal like a ton of boulders.
I am into heavy metal music, as hard as a ton of boulders. It's what keeps me going, pumped up and energized.

Check out my donk it's dirty brown, I know it's dirty brown boi!
Take a look at my car with low-rider wheels. Its color is dirty brown but I am proud of it. That's my style, dirty and rough.

[Chorus]
That's what we're into these days - living the southern life with no care in the world. I've got only $20 in my pocket, a pretty country girl, and a pick-up truck. When we hit the road, we're all together, like a family.

Lemonade is made from lemon's a?
You probably know that lemonade is made from lemons, right?

Then I'ma make fine china from a paper plate.
If I can make fine china from a simple paper plate, you should know that I can create more unique things with my hands.

I'ma dip low, like paper planes.
I move around swiftly and gracefully, like paper planes. I am always on the move and quick to adapt to new situations.

In the Cheverolet, like it's a major thang.
I am always driving my Chevrolet around, like it's my primary activity. It's not just a car, but a way of life.

Sign a major deal, with a major payne.
I have signed a major record deal, with a major impact on my career. It might come with some pain, but I am ready to take the risk.

They gave me a budget, I bought a bicycle frame.
I was given some money for my music, but decided to buy a bike frame instead. I am frugal and would rather invest in myself rather than material things.

I rode that bitch around Walnut park, Put a stack in my pocket and then blew it at Wal-Mart.
I went around Walnut Park on my bike and saved some money. But then, I spent it all at Wal-Mart, buying things I didn't need.

On a jacket, a pistol, and a packet of blow darts.
I spent my cash on a jacket, a gun, and some darts to shoot drugs. It's not the most sensible way to spend money, but that's how I roll.

If you enter my skull, you gonna need a strong heart.
If you try to understand my thoughts and feelings, you need to be strong and resilient. I have been through a lot and my mind is not an easy place to visit.

Strong art, the heart of Dixie got history.

You sittin' on 32's we sittin' on 60's.
You might have big rims on your car, but we have even bigger ones, at 60 inches. Our cars are custom and unique, just like us.

Mud tires and barbed wire you drive for hours.
Our cars have mud tires and barbed wire, and we love to drive them for hours on end. It's not just a hobby, but a part of our lifestyle.

You wont see nothin' but palm trees and wild fires and BOOM! Out pops a B Boy.
When you come to visit us, all you'll see are palm trees and wild fires, but then, out of nowhere, will come a breakdancer, a B Boy, showcasing his skills.

The mossy oak is dirty brown, I know it's dirty brown boi!
Even the mossy oaks in our neighborhood are dirty brown, like most of our belongings, but we don't mind. We're proud of where we come from and what we have achieved.

[Chorus]
That's our way of life, living in the sticks and bricks, with all of our friends and family around us. We don't have much, but we don't need much either. We're happy just the way we are.

Jimmy crack corn, then he threw a bar stool.

Left Jimmy on the string like a loose tooth.

See these the type of people that I'm used to.
In my world, these kinds of people are common. They are tough, street-smart, and don't take no for an answer.

Hard knock country boys fuck a new suit.
We're not suited for fancy clothes, we're hard-knock country boys, rough and tumble, who don't give a damn about appearances.

Fuck a new coop when you need a new roof,

Give me the whole stake from the ruler to the two.

There's good money in the pyrex mesurin' cup.
