Inglewood singer SiR has proven himself to be one of TDE’s most valuable players, with his recent album Chasing Summer solidifying him at the height of the modern R&B tier list. And while the project held many smooth slow burners and deep cuts, “John Redcorn” has endured as a bonafide fan-favourite. It’s no wonder that SiR and company have pulled out all the stops on his new visuals, heavily inspired by Mike Judge’s beloved series King Of The Hill.
Those attuned to the TDE hype-train may have already caught a glimpse of Black Hippy reimagined as Hank, Dale, Bill, and Jeff — a cameo that has already sparked conspiracy theories about full-length albums and the works. Yet for the most part, “John Redcorn” remains SiR’s show, following his animated avatar as he navigates the dangerous waters of attempting to make a cuckold out of poor Ab-Soul — albeit to his own detriment in the end — and navigating the troubled waters of unrequited love.

[Chorus]
Alone, every night alone
Why am I alone when I know that you want me too?
Am I wrong? Tell me that I’m wrong
Tell me I deserve all the pain that you put me through, oh
[Verse 1]
I really hate that I give a fuck
Pressin’ my line, I don’t wanna pick up
We know enough won’t ever be enough
I play hard to get, she keep callin’ my bluff
Baby divin’ deeper and deeper
She don’t believe me when I tell her that I need her
Guess I shoulda stayed where I belong
‘Cause once you make it back to your happy home…
[Chorus]
I’m alone, every night alone
Why am I alone when I know that you want me too?
Am I wrong? Tell me that I’m wrong
Tell me I deserve all the pain that you put me through, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don’t ever bring me good news, babe
I just wanna be the one you choose, babe
[Verse 2]
Dream girl got me losin’ sleep
Baby, you remind me of my Jeep
Maybe I’d be better on the run
Double vision playin’ all week
This feels like a game of survival
Why am I dyin’ for a title?
Is it even worth the fight?
[Chorus]
When I just end up alone, every night alone
Why am I alone when I know that you want me too?
Am I wrong? Tell me that I’m wrong
Tell me I deserve all the pain that you put me through, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don’t ever bring me good news, babe
I just wanna be the one you choose, babe
You don’t ever bring me good news, babe
I just wanna be the one you choose, babe
[Outro]
Dream girl got me losin’ sleep
Baby, you remind me of my Jeep
Maybe I’d be better on the run
Double vision playin’ all week
