Intro – slow, ambient)
Yeah…
Isleton… Sacramento River…
Early morning fog… beer cans in the mud…
Man… who raised y’all?
⸻
(Hook – catchy / viral)
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Trash on the bank while I’m reelin’ ’em all
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Striper in one hand, trash in the other, dawg
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Delta raised me, we don’t live like y’all
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Say it one time, then I say it real loud
⸻
(Verse 1)
Pulled up early, yeah the tide look right
Rod in the truck, got the cooler on ice
Heard they runnin’, stripers on a string
Got that itch in my soul, man I needed that swing
Walk down slow, boots hit dirt
Sun comin’ up but the ground look worse
Cans everywhere, lines in the trees
Hook in the mud where my daughters might be
Man it hit deep, yeah it messed with my head
This the same river where my pops once led
Taught me respect, taught me how to cast
Now I’m cleanin’ up a future from somebody’s past
⸻
(Hook – stronger)
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Trash on the bank while I’m reelin’ ’em all
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Striper in one hand, trash in the other, dawg
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Delta raised me, we don’t live like y’all
Who raised y’all?

⸻
(Verse 2)
Cast go out, line cut through
Water stay real even when y’all don’t do
Rod tip shake—yeah, there it go
Drag start screamin’, heart beat low
Pulled that striper out, silver flash shine
Still feel pride even in these times
But I look around, can’t ignore that truth
Got a trash bag hangin’ where my bait should be, too
One for the fish, one for the land
Tryna do right, hope they understand
This ain’t hate, it’s a wake-up call
If you love this life, don’t destroy it all
⸻
(Bridge – emotional / stripped)
Yeah…
Ain’t no filter on this pain I see
River raised me… it’s a part of me
If you feel the same, then stand up tall
And ask ‘em with me…
⸻
(Hook – big / anthem)
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Trash on the bank while I’m reelin’ ’em all
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Striper in one hand, trash in the other, dawg
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Delta raised me, we don’t live like y’all
Who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
Say it one time, then I say it real loud
⸻
(Outro – spoken / fading)
Yeah…
Isleton nights… Sacramento flow…
If you love it… protect it…
If not… stay home…
Who raised y’all?
