Intro – slow, moody)
Yeah…
Sacramento River flowin’…
Isleton nights…
Lines in the water… trash on the bank…
Man… who raised y’all?
⸻
(Hook – melodic, heavy)
Who raised y’all?
Leavin’ all that trash where the kids might crawl
Beer cans, lines, man it ain’t your yard
I’m out here fishin’… cleanin’ up your scars
Who raised y’all?
Delta water whisper but it sound pissed off
Got a striper on the line but my heart fed up
Pick it up one time… man, that ain’t enough
⸻
(Verse 1)
Pulled up hype, sunrise on the tide shift
Rod in the back, yeah you know what the vibe is
Heard they been hittin’, stripers on a string run
Dreamin’ ‘bout a fight, man I came for a big one
Walk to the bank… nah, somethin’ ain’t right
Smell hit first, then I seen the whole sight
Trash piled up like a damn pig stall
Tangled up lines, man, bottles and all
Tryna find a spot just to cast my line
But I’m dodgin’ all your mess like it’s part of the grind
This my home water, Sacramento pride
But y’all treat it like somewhere to hide
⸻
(Hook – stronger)
Who raised y’all?
Leavin’ all that trash where the kids might crawl
Beer cans, lines, man it ain’t your yard
I’m out here fishin’… cleanin’ up your scars
Who raised y’all?
Delta water whisper but it sound pissed off
Got a striper on the line but my heart fed up
Pick it up one time… man, that ain’t enough
⸻
(Verse 2)
Still cast out, yeah I’m stayin’ locked in
Line go tight—there it go, locked in
Rod start bendin’, drag start singin’
Delta still givin’ even when y’all sinning
Pulled that striper out the mud and the pain
Silver flash shinin’ through the mess and the rain
One hand fish, other hand bag
Pickin’ up your trash like it’s somethin’ I had
Ain’t no clout, this is real life truth
Tryna show my daughters how to move out here too
Respect the water, respect where you stand
Or don’t come back, you don’t understand
⸻
(Bridge – stripped down)
Yeah…
We all out here chasin’ somethin’
Peace… fish… a moment…
But how you leave it behind… that say somethin’
⸻
(Final Hook – emotional, louder)
Who raised y’all?
Leavin’ all that trash where the kids might crawl
Delta raised me, man I stand real tall
But I’m out here askin’… who raised y’all?
Who raised y’all?
If you love this life, why you treat it so wrong?
I’ma keep fishin’, keep rightin’ these wrongs
Till the river run clean… and the message go on
