Brittany Howard - Goat Head Lyrics






See, tomatoes are green
And cotton is white
My heroes are black
So why God got blue eyes?

My daddy, he stayed
My grandmama's a maid
My mama was brave
To take me outside
'Cause mama is white
And daddy is black
When I first got made
Guess I made these folks mad
See, I know my colors, see
But what I wanna know is...

Who slashed my dad's tires and put a goat head in the back?
I guess I wasn't s'posed to know that, too bad
I guess I'm not 'posed to mind 'cause I'm brown, I'm not black
But who said that?
See, I'm black, I'm not white
But I'm that, nah, nah, I'm this, right?
I'm one drop of three-fifths, right?

Goat head in the back
Goat head in the back
Goat head in the back
Goat head in the back
Goat head in the back
Goat head in the back
Goat head in the back
Goat head in the back
Goat head in the back

    This song is brave, the album is powerful

  9. S.... -....

    The drums are crazy!!!
    Sound like a beat for Jay-Z

    Santino - Thank-you again for your opinion about my opinion or my likes and dislikes in this. And that's all it is our opinions. You question my age, my understanding, and now stating I'm rude. Again, I agree Santigo, to disagree in this. It's all good. Thank you again, and take care. 😀

    S.... -....

    @Gene Walker There is nothing to agree or disagree about. NO ONE EVER SAID THE BEAT WAS MADE BY A MACHINE! Your failure to accept your ignorance only highlights it. You can disagree all you want, the evidence in the comments in your writing. You can't escape it.

    Santino - 😉

    @Gene Walker Im not angry. It's like your teaching math in science class.

    S.... -....

    @Santino - as much as I agree with your point your analogy is terrible. 😂 science and mathematics go hand in hand. Just like this song goes hand in hand with sunny top down drives! Just enjoy the music gentlemen.
