Lyrics: (VERSE 1) Sunshine, bathe me, lately life’s been crazy/ Your Eyes, tell all, we outside with it, your call/ Move me, Need Me, care about it, breath deep/ You see, what I miss, holdin on to ya with a tight grip/ Light Lit, no cap, heart spilled all over the Floor mat/ Tongue out, I don’t know how to hold that, nowadays I don’t really want to hold back/ (CHORUS) So I hit em where it hurts, (Set sail, lighthouse, Search) So I hit em where it hurts, (Set sail, Lighthouse, Search) - I been down with you, you been down with me, we know this ain’t all Talk/ (VERSE 2) I’m on a Quest-love, Learn my roots/ Think that Black Thought, this my truth/ This that tipping point, this that proof/ Go head spark it up, we off mute/ loud and clear now, that sound good?/ Life in motion, like it should/ Came a long way, play that long game, yesterday gone, we’re on our way, aye/

Glass House 02:51
We both know what happens, when you stomp in a glass house Get to stomping in a glass house We both know what happens, when you stomp in a glass house Get to stomping in a glass house if nothin’s new under the sun, we can figure it out my mind was made to run for fun ima change up the house too wild to be certain, no sure things That never stops the loop life brings Samo Samo shit Samo Samo Samo We both know what happens, when you stomp in a glass house Get to stomping in a glass house We both know what happens, when you stomp in a glass house Get to stomping in a glass house Roll with situations... damn Found a voice I made a choice, that came with your blessing Etched Interpretations of life walk the land with a message in hand Dap me up then! Dap me up then! We both know what happens, when you stomp in a glass house Get to stomping in a glass house We both know what happens, when you stomp in a glass house Get to stomping in a glass house

Had to break the shell on a bitch lowkey it was scary cuz I felt hella exposed I left home alone/ shorty I’m a seeker not a tweaker the journey embodies every feeling, I love and need her Long live a fly nigga focused getting yours gotta know what’s in ya being timid in the jungle become lion dinner Truth on my plate, go for seconds and thirds, well We’re just walkin on thin lines walkin on thin lines, walkin on thin lines (x4) Focused on The road And I’m just trying to keep my balance lost it then I found it and I’m just trying to keep my balance lose it yeah I doubt it and I’m just trying to keep my balance lost it then I found it and I’m trying to keep my balance running with the chalice Plottin’ on me That’s Bad for your health homie Plottin’ on me That’s Bad for your health homie Plottin’ on me That’s Bad for your health homie Plottin’ on me That’s Bad for your health homie

about

PawPaw Rod is Rodney Hulsey, a singer and rapper hailing from Oklahoma City.

Rod debuted at the end of 2020 with “HIT EM WHERE IT HURTS”, which blended 60s soul with the cadence of hiphop – like a woozier Bill Withers or Gil Scott-Heron. The record quickly found its way to the top of global viral charts and in an Apple commercial too, with not much information out there about Rod except that he was a Capricorn who loved cowboy boots.

“A PawPaw Rod EP”, out 17 September 2021 on LA's Godmode (who've brought you artists such as Channel Tres, Yaeji, and JPEGMAFIA), hopefully fills in the gaps. PawPaw wisdom is hard-nosed, hard-earned, matter-of-fact – but delivered with love too. Musically it's a focused four-song offering that follows the contours of "HIT EM", co-written and produced entirely by Godmode head honcho Nick Sylvester with help from longtime collaborator Adam Moerder.

“Thin Lines” is the latest single from the EP, with a video shot in Rodney’s Oklahoma City hometown and directed by cult filmmaker Anthony Sylvester.
