Ho Cake

Written by：JJ Grey

My Granny makes the best crackling ho cake

It tastes so good I can't wait to dip my plate

She's cooking ham hocks in some white acre peas

She's cooking turnip greens and macaroni and cheese

Get on out my way I got to ease up to that pot

I like my cornbread while it's still piping hot

Love this food I can't get enough

Stick ya hands near my plate you'll draw back a nub

I member it happened back in 1978

Daddy caught me trying to steal a pork chop off his plate

He snatched it back and I gave him a little sass

He quick whupped off the belt on started whupping on my a**

Learned a lesson about what this food can do

It can talk yo a** in to turning black and blue

All you kids keep you hands to you on supper

You let that food do the talking you tail might suffer

I love smoke mullet hush puppies and grits

I love them catfish and I love them popcorn shrimp

I love fried chicken and I love them collard greens

I love black eye peas and them lima beans

I love that ox tail soup with a little rice

I love candied yams and sweet potato pies

I love it all got to holler

Come on fine

Make it focus down and swallow it
