Don’t Kill My Vibe

[Intro: Apalachee Don]
People are always talkin' about our Constitution
And what's right and what we can and what we can't do
But really they don't give us any rights. They only give us the right to act. They never give us the right to react. They tell us to stand together, stand united and when we fall they divide us. But the only way we can ever sit together is to stand with one another. No matter who we are we just wanna vibe. Don't kill my vibe bro

[Verse 1: Byrd Dog]
Southern states, rebel children
Everyone's taggin' along
Everyone's throwing us under the bus
People keep castin' them stones
Ain't you sick and tired of always being put down
That's my heritage, where I am from
How 'bout you shut y'all's mouths
Don't kill my vibe and let me survive
Let me have my peace of mind
Yeah someone above, someone below
Everybody crossin' the line
Yeah mister please all that I need
Is for you not to tell me my time
Don't cross the line and you'll be just fine
If you don't kill my vibe

[Chorus: Byrd Dog]
Don't kill my vibe
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Don't kill my vibe
Don't kill my vibe

[Verse 2: Apalachee Don]
I stand on these hallowed ground, proud of my roots
Can they lead a generation back from the devil's coop?
They can take away my freedom
They can take away my guns
They can take away my rights
But I'll be fightin' when they come
I'll be standin' in the mist when the takin's said and done
On this sacred ground I walk, in the hills where I run
Outlaw in my blood, got it honest from my Pa
But he taught me be proud of what I am and stand strong
This is God's country and I'm sure that it won't sit back
Took the prayer out of school, ain't no way's cool with that
Most of these kids today they can't even sign they name
Replace the pencil with a tablet and treat it like it's the same
Took the Bibles off the shelves, replaced it with the Quran
It's up to us to fix it back and teach pride to our sons
Teach our girls to be ladies and respect they own selves
Without God this whole world that we in is going to hell
Don't kill my vibe

[Chorus: Byrd Dog]
Don't kill my vibe
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Don't kill my vibe
Don't kill my vibe

[Verse 3: Byrd Dog]
Everybody knows when you feel it down in your soul
You got to release and make yourself feel at home
And down here that's how we ride, oh baby how we roll
Make no mistake we open our arms to all kinds of folk
So grab a rod and a reel and just sit back and chill
Don't say a word, cast a line 'til you know it's real
I got my guitar and shine, we do it all the time
Cast a line and rewind just don't kill my vibe

[Chorus: Byrd Dog]
Don't kill my vibe
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
Don't kill my vibe
Woah-ho-ho
Woah-ho-ho
