Vance Gilbert
Country Western Rap
[Verse 1]
Well I was talkin' to my manager
'Bout a new plan of attack
He says, "You play great folk guitar
But don't forget, you're Black
Now here's a new promotional angle
That'll put us on the map
We'll create a whole new genre
Call it country western rap."
[Chorus]
Yo de lay hee hoo
Yo de lay hee hoo
Yo de lay hee hoo ooh ooh (Can't touch this)
Lay de yo de lay he yo de lay he
Yo do lay he hoo
[Verse 2]
Now rap they've got New Kids on the Block
And country's got Charlie Pride
And that's pretty multi-cultural
If you put 'em side by side
But I could be the new breed, yeah
The one to fill the gap (Mmm hmm)
The best of both, yeah that's the ticket
Country western rap
[Chorus]
Yo de lay he hoo
Yo de lay he hoo (Ooh yeah)
Yo de lay he hoo ooh ooh (Get busy)
Lay de yo de lay he yo de lay he
Yo do lay he hoo
[Verse 3]
Well I was hangin' at the crib, just chillin'
Popped in the tape and the boy was killin'
He was pumpin' up a jam - I had to have this
Who was it? It was Randy Travis
Say ho
Well it's off to the record shop
Hell I didn't stop until my Visa was smokin'
I ain't jokin'
I left Tower Records charge machine broken
Yeah boiieee
[Verse 4]
Well I bought Merle Haggard
Hank Williams too
My homeboy said, "What you trying to do?"
I said "Yo bro, I don't mean to be dissin'
But there's beaucoup jams that I think we been missin'"
[Verse 5]
LL Cool J and Dolly Parton
Crystal Gayle and I'm just startin'
Reba McIntyre and MC Hammer
(What a double bill - that's a bad mammah jammah)
Johnny Cash and Bobby Brown
Yippie-i-o-ki-yay get down
With a fresh little jam that's in between
It's a little bit of both
If you dig what I mean
[Chorus]
Yo de lay he hoo
Yo de lay he hoo (I'm country like that, I'm country like that)
Yo de lay he hoo ooh ooh (Yee hah)
Yo do lay he yo de lay he yo de lay he
Yo do lay he hoo
Yo de lay he yo de lay he yo de lay he
Yo do lay he hoo
