Won't Be Around is a dedication to the rural and early American roots music of the first half of the 20th century--the lifeblood of America's musical and cultural heritage. The song is about telling a loved one that I'm fed up and moving on. I ask "Who are you going to run to?" "Who are you going lie to?" "Who are you going to rescue?" when "I won't be with you," "I won't hear you," and "I won't even need you."

Primary Artist: Terry Blade

Composer: Bobby Cole

Lyricist: Terry Blade

Producers: Terry Blade, Bobby Cole

Ethos: Son of a Sharecropper

Won't Be Around

Inspired by the stories of:
-Cyntoia Brown (first verse)
-William “Marc” Wilson (second verse)
-Isaiah Brown (third verse)

--Lyrics--
Tell my sista’ 
To stay strong
Remember tell my sista’ 
To stay strong
Cuz I know the system 
Done my sista’ wrong

Tell my brotha’ 
Always watch your back
Tell my brotha’ 
Always watch your back
Cuz I know the system 
Won’t give my brotha no slack

Tell my people 
That I will die for them
Tell my people 
That I will die for them
Just so they can be free 
Of the system
