[INTRO – ACOUSTIC GUITAR PICKING WITH FIDDLE IN BACKGROUND, SLOW TEMPO] [SINGER – SOFT, WARM TONE] 🎶 Where the creek runs clear and the days run long, We pray real hard and we love real strong. Ain’t no place I’d rather be, Down in the holler with my family. 🎶 [BEAT SWITCH – 808 KICKS IN, TEMPO PICKS UP, BANJO RIFF IN BACKGROUND] [RAPPER – EASY FLOW, SOUTHERN TWANG] 🎤 Yeah, I’m from the spot where the cell don’t reach, Mud on my boots and a cane pole beach. We fishin’ by dawn, cast out with care, Granddad’s hat and a foldin’ chair. Mama fryin’ up them catfish fries, Sayin' grace before we take that bite. Daddy got the Bible and a rifle too, Teaches both ‘cause both’ll see ya through. We don’t lock doors, we know who’s kin, Wave at strangers, invite 'em in. If you’re lookin’ for peace, you can find it here, Faith, family, and the ones you hold dear. [HOOK – TEMPO DROPS, BACK TO GUITAR AND FIDDLE, HARMONY VOCALS] [SINGER – SOULFUL AND STRONG] 🎶 Down in the holler, we don’t need much, Just a porch swing breeze and a Savior’s touch. With my friends and kin and a heart that’s full, We’re country strong and God made us whole. 🎶 [SECOND RAP VERSE – 808 RETURNS, TEMPO PICKS BACK UP, ADD SLIDE GUITAR] [RAPPER – PICK UP FLOW A LITTLE, STAY SMOOTH] 🎤 Sun goes down and the fire gets lit, Tales get tall and we all just sit. Talkin’ 'bout life, what the good Lord gave, And the ones we miss, up beyond that grave. We ain’t rich, but we live like kings, Joy in the little and the love that sings. Backyard ball and a Sunday choir, Ain’t nothin' fake, just truth and fire. Me and my boys, we shoot some cans, Respectin' the land, not just wildin’ plans. We laugh, we joke, but we walk the line, Work hard all day, then we make time. [HOOK – FULL INSTRUMENTATION, STRONG VOCALS + HARMONY] [SINGER – BIGGER, MORE POWERFUL DELIVERY] 🎶 Down in the holler, where the bluebirds sing, We raise our kids and we wear our rings. With dirt on our hands and love in our bones, We find our strength where the wild things roam. 🎶 [BRIDGE – BANJO SOLO + FIDDLE, TEMPO SLOWS, THEN BUILDS BACK UP] [SINGER – STRIPPED VOCALS] 🎶 This ain’t just home, it’s who I am, Planted deep like the roots in this land... 🎶 [RAPPER – SINCERE, SLOW FLOW TO MATCH TEMPO] 🎤 And when I go, I hope they say, He lived with love and he walked God’s way. [FINAL CHORUS – BIG FINISH, ALL INSTRUMENTS, CALL & RESPONSE] [SINGER & RAPPER TOGETHER – RAP LINES IN BETWEEN SINGING] 🎶 (SINGER) Down in the holler, we don’t need much, (RAPPER) Just the Word and a family’s touch. (SINGER) With a firelight glow and the stars up high, (RAPPER) We count our blessings under country skies. (SINGER) Down in the holler, we live and learn, (RAPPER) From the front porch talk to the fields we turn. (SINGER) With faith that grows like the trees around, (RAPPER) We’re holler strong — we hold it down! 🎶 [OUTRO – FIDDLE FADEOUT + BIRDS AND WIND AMBIENCE] [SINGER – WHISPERED VOCALS] 🎶 Yeah, down in the holler... where hearts run free...
