They Say I’m Different - Brodka

They say I'm different 'cause I'm a piece of sugar cane
Sweet to the core that's why I got rhythm
My great grandma didn't like the foxtrot
Nah, instead she'd spit her snuff and boogie to Elmore James
They say I'm different 'cause I eat chitlins
I can't help it I was born and raised on 'em, that's right
Every mornin' I'd have to slop the hogs
And they'd be gettin' off humpin' to John Lee Hooker
They say I'm different 'cause I'm a piece of sugar cane
And when I kick my legs, I got rhythm
My great grandpa was a blues lover
He'd be rockin' his moonshine to B.B. King and Jimmy Reed, rock on now
And that's why they say I'm different
And that's why they say I'm strange
I'm talkin' 'bout Big Momma Thornton
I'm talkin' 'bout Lightning Hopkins
I'm talkin' 'bout Howling Wolf
I'm talkin' 'bout Albert King
Chuck Berry, Chuck Berry, Chuck Berry
When I was sweet sixteen
And that's why they say I'm different
And that's why you think I'm strange
I'm talkin' bout T-Bone Walker
I get my Muddy Waters
I'm talkin' 'bout Leadbelly
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee
Son House and Freddie King
Bessie Smith, Bessie Smith, oh hey
Bo Diddley have you heard
That's why they say I'm different
That's why they say I'm strange
That's why they say I'm funky
Little Richard wow you sure showed 'em you sure could sing
Robert Johnson, Robert Johnson, Robert Johnson
He played the blues for me
And that's why, and that's why
And that's why they say I'm different
And that's why, and that's why
And that's why they say I'm strange
And that's why why why why
And that's why why why why
They say I'm funky funky funky
