[Intro]
Ray, Ray
(Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
I don't have to talk—
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise)
[Verse 1]
It's like you said
It's all been done before
I don't have to talk pretty for them no more
It's like you said
It's all been done before
I don't have to talk pretty for them no more
[Pre-Chorus]
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I don't have to talk taste for your mama, no
No, no
Said no
Ray, Ray
(Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
I don't have to talk—
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise)
[Verse 1]
It's like you said
It's all been done before
I don't have to talk pretty for them no more
It's like you said
It's all been done before
I don't have to talk pretty for them no more
[Pre-Chorus]
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I don't have to talk taste for your mama, no
No, no
Said no
[Chorus]
Ray, Ray

[Verse 2]
It's the voodoo, Mississippi south
Sixty-nine million stars
Birds are flyin' out of my mouth
Spirits creepin' in my yard
Hold my head, it's tiltin' back
Somethin' dancin' me around
Puttin' crystals on my neck
Liftin' my feet off the ground
The ground
[Chorus]
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise
[Verse 2]
It's the voodoo, Mississippi south
Sixty-nine million stars
Birds are flyin' out of my mouth
Spirits creepin' in my yard
Hold my head, it's tiltin' back
Somethin' dancin' me around
Puttin' crystals on my neck
Liftin' my feet off the ground
The ground
[Chorus]
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Me up
[Bridge]
Oh see, look what you done now
Oh me, that's what I'm talkin' ‘bout
Oh me, look what you done now
Oh me, it’s what I'm talkin' ‘bout
It's what I'm talkin' ‘bout
It’s what I’m talkin' about
[Verse 3]
Pick me up in a pickup truck
Roll it down, you got it goin' on
Let me talk on your CB— what?
Let me play with your new shotgun
Shotgun
[Chorus]
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up (Shot)
Ray, raise me up (Shot)
Ray, raise me up
(Shotgun)
Oh see, look what you done now
Oh me, that's what I'm talkin' ‘bout
Oh me, look what you done now
Oh me, it’s what I'm talkin' ‘bout
It's what I'm talkin' ‘bout
It’s what I’m talkin' about
[Verse 3]
Pick me up in a pickup truck
Roll it down, you got it goin' on
Let me talk on your CB— what?
Let me play with your new shotgun
Shotgun
[Chorus]
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up (Shot)
Ray, raise me up (Shot)
Ray, raise me up
(Shotgun)
[Collision]
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up (Shotgun)
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I can talk what I want (Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up)
How I wanna
I don't have to talk taste for your mama, no (Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up)
(Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up)
Ray, Ray
Ray, raise me up (Shotgun)
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
I can talk what I want
How I wanna
