NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rather than rushing a release last year, White chose to hold the track until it was fully ready—because, as he puts it, "this song means the world to me." Now fully realized, "What I Can" offers a rare blend of lyrical honesty and musical warmth that invites listeners into the emotional layers of being a parent.

The song unfolds in stages—beginning with the awe and uncertainty of becoming a first-time father, then moving through the bittersweet moments of letting your child step out into the world for school. It's about the fear, the love, and the learning curve that comes with trusting others to care for your child—and how those challenges only grow as your children grow.

Eventually, the narrative moves toward a looming milestone many parents face: when kids are ready to leave the nest. That transition, White says, is "probably the scariest phase of fatherhood." While he hasn't reached that stage yet, the song is a promise to be there, no matter what—doing what he can, just like always.

With sweeping harmonies from Oceans Chest and a production style that balances intimacy with cinematic depth, "What I Can" is more than a song—it's a reflection of values that unite us all: love, resilience, and the desire to protect what matters most.



Deshawn White and Oceans Chest - What I Can

What I Can

Cooler Full of Country
by Bob Tuzzo

[Verse 1]
Sun's cookin' hot like a cast iron pan,
Workin' all day, gettin' grease on my hands.
Feelin’ half-past tired, about to hit the floor.
Shirt's stickin' to me, wranglers caked in dirt,
Dogs barkin' loud, I'm in a world of hurt,
But payday came, so it's off to the liquor store.

[Pre-Chorus]
Gonna fill that cart with every beer in sight,
Boys get ready for one hell of a night.
Ain’t showin’ up soft, man, I’m bringin’ the heat—
Cooler full of country packed three feet deep.

[Chorus]
Cooler full of country, freedom on our lips,
Red dirt glory in a couple of sips.
Raise 'em high, yeah, that's what it's all about!
Cooler full of country, backwoods gettin' loud.
Those tailgates shakin', till the fires burn out,
No we ain't crazy, we're just havin' fun see,
Ain't nothing better than
A cooler full of country.

[Verse 2]
Speaker sounds spinin' like a carnival ride,
Bonfire crackin' like the Fourth of July.
I'll be tossin' out cold ones, till my hands get sore.
Coors Light, moonshine, hidden deep in the ice,
Sweet tea vodka for the girls who are nice,
Tailgate bartendin’, keep 'em comin' back for more.

[Pre-Chorus]
A little honey leans close, reachin’ for a brew,
Her tan lines flashin’ sayin' peekaboo.
Crowd's gettin' rowdy, crankin’ up the heat—
Cooler full of country, man it can't be beat.

[Chorus]
Cooler full of country, freedom on our lips,
Red dirt glory in a couple of sips.
Raise 'em high, yeah, that's what it's all about!
Cooler full of country, backwoods gettin' loud.
Those tailgates shakin', till the fires burn out,
No we ain't crazy, we're just havin' fun see,
Ain't nothing better than
A cooler full of country.

[Bridge]
Here's to the farmers and the 40-hour crews,
The boots in the fields and the red, white, and blue.
It ain't just beer, it's the backbone we brew—
Cooler full of country.

[Chorus]
Cooler full of country, freedom on our lips,
Red dirt glory in a couple of sips.
Raise 'em high, yeah, that's what it's all about!
Cooler full of country, backwoods gettin' loud.
Those tailgates shakin', till the fires burn out,
No we ain't crazy, we're just havin' fun see,
Ain't nothing better than
A cooler full of country.
Yeah, a cooler full of country,
A cooler full of country,
Yeah, a cooler full of country.

Broken Down Love

LYRICS:
Sunset paintin’ on a two-lane road  
FM dial’s playin’ songs we know  
Cooler packed with ice-cold cans  
Boots kick dust while the party stands  

I’m a cowboy with a pickup truck  
Got my horse in the back  
My shotgun on a rack  
And my girl is back at home  

Bakin’ cookies for the crew  
That is what we do  
In the deep, deep country!  

Tailgate glow where the bonfire burns  
High school rings and them Friday turns  
Wrangler’d knees with the mud kicked on  
Singin’ loud to a Luke Bryan song  

I’m a cowboy with a pickup truck  
Got my horse in the back  
My shotgun on a rack  
And my girl is back at home  

Bakin’ cookies for the crew  
That is what we do  
In the deep, deep country!  

Back at home she’s rollin’ dough  
Chocolate chips in a small-town glow  
Warm and sweet when the night is through  
Nothin’ tastes better than a batch 
For my beer-buddy crew  

Raise it up for the good old days  
Neon sky and them dirt-road ways  
If you don’t get a little mud on your boots  
You ain’t livin’ like the country roots  

I’m a cowboy with a pickup truck  
Got my horse in the back  
My shotgun on a rack  
And my girl is back at home  

Bakin’ cookies by the tray  
Passin’ ‘em around all day  
That’s the heart, that’s the truth  
Of the deep, deep country!  

Warm cookies
Cold beer and a dirt road
Deep… deep… country.

COUNTRY TRUTH | BRYAN LUKEZACH (an alternative country-brother novelty tune)

HOME STATE Country 🥃

LYRICS:
Ya ever been so dang country
They had ta put subtitles on ya?
Heh... I reckon I been there

Slide guitar lick
Hat tip
Kick drum stomp

I was born right 
Tween the haybale
n' the tailgate
Mama fryin’ bacon 
On a hubcap plate

Daddy done taught me 
Howta shoot ‘n’ pray
For deer, beer
And a sunny day-ay-ay

My tongue so thick
It’s like cornbread dough
Folks in the city 
Don’t know where it go

Tried orderin’ latte
They look at me strange
Guess they cain’t hang with my 
Double-range twang

Here’s the thang
Got myself dang
Double Country Ultra Twang!  

Boots too loud
Drawl too strong
Even Siri gets me wrong

Can’t explain—  
Double Country Ultra Twang!  
Say it again
Double Country Ultra Twang!

Yeah-
Double 
Country 
Ultra 
Twang

Met a gal from Nashville
Real purdy thang
Took ‘er out dancin’
Bought her chicken wang

I said yee-haw darlin’ 
Lemme hold ya tight
She thought I said 
"Feed dog at midnight”  

Told her I hunt hogs
She said “you what now?”  
I said “HOG HUNTIN'!” 
She just raised her brow

She gone in a flash 
Like a dust-trail rang
Guess she can’t hang 
With my double twang

Here’s the thang
Got myself dang
Double Country Ultra Twang!  

Shotgun shine
Moonshine rain
Dip in the lip
Keep the truck in lane

Can't explain—  
Double Country Ultra Twang
Uh-huh
Double Country Ultra Twang

Yeah buddy, crank it!  
Time to make fried bacon
Time to make some fried bacon
Time to make some fried bacon

Yeah buddy, crank it!  
Time to make fried bacon
Time to make some fried bacon
Daddy wore spurs on his weddin’ day
Mama rode bulls ‘fore she learned to pray 
Born with a hat an’ a fiddle string vein
I talk like a porch swing in a hurricane

Yeah buddy, crank it!
Can’t spell “subtle” 
Can’t say “plain”  
Got diesel in my middle name

So when they ask where I came
I say Double… Country
Ultra… TWANG!

Here’s the thang
Got myself dang
Double Country Ultra Twang!  

Too much drawl for the radio rang
Too much slang for a city thang

If y’all don’t get what I’m tryna sang —  
You just ain’t country enough to hang
Yeah, that’s right!

Double

Double... double

Seven years after he recorded his first song on a karaoke machine, American rapper/singer/songwriter Deshawn White started gaining recognition in the music industry. In 2007 his single, "Drop It To The Ground," hit a local radio station and spread across the region. After this release, he went on to release his first studio album, "My Story." The second single from this project, "East Tennessee," quickly became a significant success across East Tennessee. 

Raised in Johnson City, Tennessee, McArthur Deshawn White loved a wide range of music at a young age. He listened to everything for Linkin Park to 2 Pac. However, it was when he heard the late rapper DMX that his world changed. It was the raw, aggressive sound that voiced some of the pain he was dealing with internally. Growing up in Carver projects was difficult, but music became an escape for him. 

On November 29th, 2007, Rapper Bryan "Birdman" Williams was among 16 people pulled over in Kingsport, Tennessee (15 miles from White's hometown) and charged with possession of marijuana. It was unfortunate for Bryan Williams. However, through a chain of events, Full Grind, White's former production team, was able to show Bryan and his team around the area while they awaited their hearing. This forged a relationship that allowed Deshawn to travel behind the scenes with Cash Money Records. While touring with Cash Money Records, he released a mixtape called "ET Phone Home" in 2010. The mixtape included a song called "What Up" that featured Memphis rapper Yo Gotti. It was produced by Hot Rod, another Memphis native. 

Later that year, White would leave the music industry to "find himself." While on Lil Wayne's "Americas Most Wanted" tour, he would have an encounter described as "a God moment." He moved back to his hometown and went on a spiritual journey studying Islam and Christianity. In 2011 he released his first Christian single, "Hold On." He wouldn't release another body of work until 2015, when he released his first full-length Christian album, "Before The Ceiling Falls." In 2018 the rapper launched 323 Records and started carving out his own lane by creating an inspirational style of music with a mainstream flare. He would release singles "Dance Party" and "Power Trippin," which gained national and international attention by charting at #84 on the Digital Radio Tracker top 150 independent airplay chart. 

In May of 2019, he released a politically driven EP titled "Power Trip. The EP feature "Dance Party" and his chart-topping single "Power Trippin." However, it would be an unexpected track on the EP "Blood In The Water" that would take his popularity to the next level a year after the original release. The track had over 2,000,000 Spotify steams and was growing at a rapid pace. However, the track along with the "Power Trip" EP would later be halted due to a sample that was unknowingly not cleared. "Blood in the Water" was later reproduced and re-released, but it didn't find traction like the previous version of the song. As of now, he has yet to re-release "Power Trip." 

Following "Power Trip," in March of 2020, he released an R&B/Hip-hop Ep titled "Good Thing." The body of work would find a home on the iTunes R&B music charts debuting at #8. With the R&B EP being a significant shift from the rapper's comfort zone, he quickly followed that release with a hard-hitting single titled "Trayvon," a song that addresses social justice. He also released "Sauce Inme,"  an upbeat track "featuring Grammy and BMI award-winning songwriter and producer Kia Shine. While working on his full-length album, on November 5th, 2021, he released a tribute song for Spider-Man: No Way Home.
