It’s in the heart of those
Cornbread lovin’
Collard Green eatin’
Brothas down there
That I be seein’

The soulful song of McAfee
The energy of my girl
Chirvona G.
The poetic existence
Of C. Leigh
And the smooth words of Mr. Williams
Better known as David B.

The base of my creativity
Is in Mississippi

It’s the pride of seein’
My baby sistah grow
The joy of havin’ grandma’s sweet potato pie
Right next do’

That good ole fashioned
Southern lovin’
Leaves nothin’ to do
But sit down, grab a pen
And write a poem or two

The base of my creativity
Is in Mississippi

So regardless of where you find my body
You know where my heart will be
