Lyrics
[Swamp insects singing beneath low thunder]
Every family in Louisiana got stories…
Stories they whisper.
Stories they bury.
Stories they pray never wake up again.
[Old book opening slowly]
My grandmère used to keep a gris-gris bag
tucked inside her dresser drawer.
Black cloth…
tied with red thread.
Smelled like smoke…
rainwater…
and time.
[Choir hum rises softly]
She told me:
“Cher…
every soul carry two spirits.
One that protect you…
and one that waitin’ for permission.”
[Accordion enters faintly]
Back then…
I thought gris-gris was superstition.
Little swamp rituals for old Southern women
with tired eyes and strong hands.
But then I got older.
Saw storms arrive before the weather forecast.
Saw dreams come true too accurately.
Saw death linger in rooms before it entered.
Saw certain people walk in…
and change the temperature.
[Low bass pulse begins]
Louisiana ain’t just a place.
It’s a spirit.
A memory.
A mouth full of secrets.
And eventually…
the swamp starts talkin’ back.
[Thunder cracks violently]
This book ain’t about magic tricks.
It’s about survival.
Protection.
Bloodline curses.
Ancestors.
Hunger.
Desire.
And the things Southern people know…
but never say out loud.
[Pages flipping faster]
So if you open this book…
understand somethin’ first:
Every prayer got a shadow.
Every blessing got a price.
And every spirit…
hungry for somethin’.
[Choir grows louder]
Bienvenue…
au Livre de Gris-Gris.
Welcome…
to The Book of Gris-Gris.
