Rent Free (A Latoya Song)

Long time OT lurker and first time poster here. A local BR musician/songwriter and friend of mine named Brandon Nicholson wrote a song to pay homage to southeast LA's favorite politician. Since she is so loved by this board I thought this would be a good place to share it. Lyrics to the song are posted below the link. He has another original song called Sportsman's Paradise that is available on Spotify and was featured as the theme song for the Meateater Duck Camp Dinners YouTube series, give him a listen

Rent Free (A Latoya Song) - Brandon Nicholson

Cane burning time, we start losing light, when the hand hits the 5
I smell the cane that was burning today, make its way up the drive-
driveway of stone, where pavement don’t grow, and far from the big easy lights
and rich politicians and god fearing “Christian’s”, and criminals of every kind

We had a good rain, 2 inches today, many would say it was time
but not in the city where people are living, and rain makes the floodwaters rise
but don’t you be needy, or dare bother teedy, she’s having the time of her life
Down in the quarter, while placing an order for beignets rent free on your dime

It ain’t been so easy on big easy streets, while teedy is up in the air
Having a free drink on airliner seats, saving the climate elsewhere
She calls the police, to maintain the peace, as well as her love up the stairs
They say you can hear from the Pontalba suite
Teedy’s NOPD affair


Even red handed, teedy can’t stand it, to hear her all mean bullies lie
she needs security for her insecurities, and she’s got nothing to hide
except for her taxes and all them infractions, hotels and fine merchandise,
and winin' and dinin', upgraded airlinin', and living rent free on your dime


Don't only blame teedy for taking it easy, the DA forgives every crime
They were mistaken and only were taking, a jeep cherokee to survive
He may have lifted a gun and persisted, to rob a good man’s lovely wife
And three other people and three more vehicles, but should be forgiven this time


It ain’t been so easy on big easy streets, while teedy is up in the air
Having a free drink on airliner seats, saving the climate elsewhere
She calls the police, to maintain the peace, as well as her love up the stairs
They say you can hear from the Pontalba suite
Teedy’s NOPD affair

They say you can hear from the Pontalba suite
