verse 1
You can trade that pickup for a brand new Cadillac
Slap you on that custom Gucci suit and ditch that camo hat
You can move from the boondocks to Beverly Hills
Drop a little hip-hop in the boombox, but still
You can't hide red, don'?t you know we were born this way?
You can't hide red, you can see it in everything, yeah
Like the way we walk, the way we talk, it's the down home way we raised
Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
You can't hide red, with that twang, we sang
You can't hide red, and we smoke, and we drank
You can't hide red
You might catch us holding doors saying grace and "Thank you Lord
For the good times and the good iife we all live, Amen"
So what if we all backwards just because you talkin' faster?
Hell, you ain't got no tobacco in your lip
You can't hide red, don'?t you know we were born this way?
You can't hide red, you can see it in everything, yeah
Like the way we walk, the way we talk, it's the down home way we raised
Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
You can't hide red, with that twang, we sang
You can't hide red, and we smoke, and we drank
You can't hide red
Break
You can move from the boondocks to Beverly Hills
Drop a little hip-hop in the boombox, but still
You can't hide red, don'?t you know we were born this way?
You can't hide red, you can see it in everything, yeah
Like the way we walk, the way we talk, it's the down home way we raised
Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
You can't hide red, with that twang, we sang
You can't hide red, and we smoke, and we drank
You can't hide red
