lirik lagu alfie james - hybrid of the south town clan
verse 1
there’s a cross on the hill where the grass don’t grow
mama says don’t look when the red lights glow
i walk past fast, with my hoodie tight
’cause ghosts in the white sheets still walk at night
the church bells ring like a warning sign
and dogs still bark at this skin of mine
they smile in town with their sunday suits
but they whisper in codes when they sip their truth
behind the diner, someone carved a name
of a boy who hung, but they blamed the rain
i asked my granddad why his hands still shake—
he said, “son, they tried to hang my fate.”
i sleep with the window latched and low
every truck engine feels like a show
they ain’t in robes, but i still feel watched—
like a shadow follows with every step i botch
pre~chorus
they say the past is gone and done
but i hear it reload with every sun
chorus
this town wears masks with modern thread
but i know what lurks in the things not said
they ain’t gone, just changed their plan—
now they move like smoke, this south town clan
i see their eyes in the grocery line
i hear their boots when they toe the line
mama says keep my head down low
but the fire still burns where the winds don’t blow
verse 2
they call it history, but it ain’t that old
the stories they tell still chill me cold
that statue downtown still stands real proud
while we whisper our heroes, not say them loud
at school, they skip the chapter on hate
say “let’s move on” — but it’s still too late
’cause my cousin got jumped for his skin and braids
and the sheriff just smirked, then looked away
there’s a flag by the shop that flaps too high
it don’t just wave, it testifies
tells me i don’t belong right here
though we’ve been buried on this land for years
i saw chalk drawings on the church one day—
burning crosses where the kids would play
they washed it off, like it meant no harm
but i still walk home clutching my charm
pre~chorus
they say the past is gone and done
but i hear it reload with every sun
chorus
this town wears masks with modern thread
but i know what lurks in the things not said
they ain’t gone, just changed their plan—
now they move like smoke, this south town clan
i see their eyes in the grocery line
i hear their boots when they toe the line
mama says keep my head down low
but the fire still burns where the winds don’t blow
bridge
i don’t need robes to feel the fear
i see the truth in what they cheer
they blend their hate in polite applause—
still draw their lines in silent laws
chorus
this town wears masks with modern thread
but i know what lurks in the things not said
they ain’t gone, just changed their plan—
now they move like smoke, this south town clan
i see their eyes in the grocery line
i hear their boots when they toe the line
mama says keep my head down low
but the fire still burns where the winds don’t blow
outro
i dream of a day i won’t flinch at a truck
where peace don’t depend on god or luck
but for now, i walk real light, real fast—
in the land where the future wears the past
