Kem - Love Calls sped up | Joshua Fraustro Kemika1956 Remix |

Rocking Chair

This song is very special to me as it’s about my momma. It tells the story of her growing up in New Orleans, a young girl living during segregation, bringing up 4 kids as a single mother, losing everything in 3 major Hurricanes (including Hurricane Katrina)...plus her name sounds like Superman’s girlfriend ‘Lois Lane’ (which I reference in the song). Thank you all for supporting me on my journey, and for streaming and sharing. It means the world to me! 🙏🏽

[LYRICS]
Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain’t have no superman
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
 
Louisiana chile
Born in the south
Nineteen forty-three
So imagine what she's seen
Mr. Crow was in the air
Magnolias in her hair
Hollygrove girl
With tight press and curl
 
Sittin’ on the porch
Waiting for the sun to shine
Dinah’s on the radio
She's got tears in her eyes
You can feel the heat
Coming off Clouet Street 
Sweaty nights on the bayou
Lord have mercy on me 

Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain’t have no superman
(No superman)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans

Fell deep in love
Walkin’ in the 9th ward
Seventeen years
She tried to persevere
She loved my daddy
Until things fell apart
She’s an old school girl
Who lived with her heart

Four babies on her hips
She ain’t let her backbone slip
She’s strong like them hurricanes
Ya can't forget their names
Betsy and Katrina
You can hear them scream loud
Goddamn Mississippi
Keep me runnin’
 
Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain’t have no superman
(No superman)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans

Sweet 
Sweet 
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
Sweet 
Sweet 
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
Sweet 
Sweet 
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
