appalachian lives matter - ryan parker lyrics

my parents didn’t have degrees
my dad worked on the railroad
’til they moved out of town
white privilege wasn’t bestowed on me
ashland all closed up
the steel mill duly followed
braidy wasn’t built
that’s a tough hard pill to swallow

chuck woolery, how did you make it?
poverty, how can we shake it?
clinging to guns and religion
in our trailers watching television
with rabbit ears for local stations
it’s time we get our reparations
if black lives matter like they knew
appalachian lives matter too
appalachian lives matter too

to think we spend our time
making meth and moonshine, but that’s silly
with our cousins by our side
our n*word ought to be hillbilly
even though we have not one advantage
somehow we have learned to manage
with our raisin’ h*ll and startin’ fires
with our media pushing our desires
chuck woolery, how did you make it?
poverty, how can we shake it?
with our cars broke down all up on blocks
with bibles, gravy, and our glocks
with our barely working internet
we’re a minority, but they forget
if black lives matter like they knew
then appalachian lives matter too
appalachian lives matter too
mmm
