Rae Daez — “Allllll Yeahhhhhhh… Texas Baby” Written by 12Gauge858 Response to SunDay FunDay [Intro — Electric Blues Guitar Riff] [Electric guitar bends and slides] Rae Daez — Spoken Allllll yeahhhhhhhhh… Texas, baby! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Shoutout to SoundSonicTunes 808… Much love, homie. I see you doing big things. Proud of you. Turn them beat blockers loose… Let that 808 hit the trunk! [Hard 808 Beat Drop] [Verse 1] Sun was shining when we pulled outside, Ten minutes later came a cold front by. Rain, sleet, snow, then sunshine too, All in forty minutes—Texas coming through. Everybody checked the radar on their phone, Nobody packed up, nobody went home. Uncle kept turning that brisket slow, Said, “Give it five minutes—this weather gon’ go.” Families gathered every weekend ’round, Smoke from the barbecue covering the town. Ribs on the pit, beans in the pot, Somebody yelling, “Come get a plate while it’s hot!” Beat blockers knocking, 808s in the trunk, Electric guitar talking while the whole block jumped. Texas weather doing whatever it please, But we still outside making memories. [Pre-Chorus] The sky may change, But the love stays steady. Pull up a chair— We always got one ready. Rain or shine, Come as you are. Down here hospitality Ain’t never too far. [Chorus] [Rae Daez] Allllll yeahhhhhhhhh… Texas, baby! Rain or sunshine, we still outside, Making good memories side by side. Come through hungry, you’re leaving fed— That Texas love spreads everywhere. [Children’s Choir] Texas hospitality! Texas hospitality! [Rae Daez] From the lemonade stand to the barbecue flame, You arrive a stranger, leave knowing our names. [Children’s Choir] Texas hospitality! [Full Crowd Chant] THAT’S TEXAS, BABY! [Rae Daez] Allllll yeahhhhhhhhh… LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [Verse 2] Little kids posted by the neighborhood street, Lemonade stand and a sign painted neat. Better not ignore them, better slow that ride, They’re doing more than selling cups outside. They ain’t chasing dollars or a fancy name, Just spreading Texas kindness in the summer heat wave. One paper cup and a smile so wide— That’s a little bit of Texas hospitality. Dominoes cracking underneath the shade, Uncles at the table getting serious with the game. [Domino Slams] One hand hits hard, everybody turns— [Uncle Shouts] “THREE NAKED WOMEN, PLEASE!” [Crowd Erupts in Laughter] Fifteen on the table, somebody keeping score, Then the Spades game shouting from the patio door. Partners speaking silently, talking with their eyes, Somebody got cut and blaming both sides. Books getting counted, somebody talking slick, Grandma from the porch said, “Don’t start that mess!” Electric guitar laughing while the bass rolls through— That’s a Texas weekend coming straight at you. [Pre-Chorus] The sky may change, But the love stays steady. Pull up a chair— We always got one ready. Rain or shine, Come as you are. Down here hospitality Ain’t never too far. [Chorus] [Rae Daez] Allllll yeahhhhhhhhh… Texas, baby! Rain or sunshine, we still outside, Making good memories side by side. Come through hungry, you’re leaving fed— That Texas love spreads everywhere. [Children’s Choir] Texas hospitality! Texas hospitality! [Rae Daez] From the lemonade stand to the barbecue flame, You arrive a stranger, leave knowing our names. [Children’s Choir] Texas hospitality! [Full Crowd Chant] THAT’S TEXAS, BABY! [Verse 3] Elementary schools looking like high schools, High schools looking like college universities. Friday night lights got the whole town packed, Everybody wearing hometown colors on their back. Football players country-fed and built like— [Rae Stops Himself] Allllll shhhhhhh… Don’t say that word. Keep it clean now! [Crowd Laughs] Just know them boys came ready to play, Whole town praying before game day. Home of the Dallas Cowboys, star shining bright, Texas loves football morning, noon, and night. Jerry Jones got them boys sitting right— [Rae Daez] Y’all better yell this part! [Full Crowd] AAAAAAMENNNNN! [Electric Guitar Scream] [Verse 4] Down here in Texas at the drive-through line, The car ahead might make your whole day shine. You pull to the window, ready with your pay, Cashier starts smiling, got something to say: [Cashier — Spoken] “The car in front already covered your meal.” [Rae Daez] No camera rolling, no need for a deal. They didn’t leave a number or wait for applause, Just wanted to remind you there are still good hearts. So you pay for the person waiting behind, Pass that little blessing further down the line. Ain’t about credit, ain’t about fame— It’s Texas hospitality without needing a name. [Bridge — Music Drops Low] [Darker Piano, Cello and Distant Thunder] Sometimes that Texas sky turns black, Thunder rolls and the sirens react. Tornadoes come trying to tear through town, Roofs get lifted and walls come down. But before them storm clouds finish moving on, Pickup trucks and trailer
