Ain't Sayin' Nothin'
Grits Lyrics

Thieves shake the equal,
There are those who try to take what we have without earning it, but they are not our equals and will not succeed.

Glamour Ritz, we got our chucks on,
We are staying true to our roots and not getting caught up in materialism and excess.

Many times we been surpassed, they rather put smucks on,
Despite our talent and hard work, we often get overlooked in favor of less deserving artists.

Insubordinate knuckleheads insisting they be spoon fed,
There are those who expect success to be handed to them without putting in the necessary effort and dedication.

Indeed take precautions, while split-up will make you nauseas,
It's important to be careful and protect oneself, as divisions within a group can lead to negative consequences.

Simplicity seems to get the best of me,
Although we strive for complexity and depth in our music, sometimes simplicity is the most effective approach.

Listening to emcees twisting renditions of authoring,
We are tired of hearing other artists plagiarize and poorly reinterpret the work of others.

Following the hollow styles of other individuals, while we originals get passed off like apologies.
While we stay true to our unique style and originality, others mimic popular trends and we get overlooked and undervalued.

My man Bone speaking terms that you learn to discern,
Our collaborator Bone is delivering a message that requires attention and interpretation.

The turn turns roundabout, I sound about,
The situation is complex and constantly changing, and I am trying to make sense of it through my music.

The animosity, verbal viscosities - I scoff at these insipid nitwits that be swearing that they're emcees,
We are unimpressed and dismissive of artists who rely on negativity, aggression, and insulting language in their music to compensate for a lack of talent or depth.

Drama when mics are around the circumferences,
The presence of microphones often leads to heightened emotions, tensions, and conflicts among artists.

Cannibalistic mandates of artists labeled "Platinum hits,"
Artists who achieve commercial success often become selfish and ruthless in their pursuit of more hits and profits, sacrificing artistic integrity and others' well-being along the way.

Poisonous venom is what I send them if they nip at this,
If other artists try to impede our progress or harm us, we will fight back with our own powerful and destructive words.

Like a dipstick, I let them know that they're full of it,
We are not afraid to call out other artists on their nonsense and expose their lack of talent or sincerity.

Fill your cup with the hardy tawdry intellect,
Our music is full of robust and authentic ideas, rather than shallow or cheap entertainment.

I'm injecting a proposal and discretion disposal,
We are offering our unique perspective and artistic approach, and suggesting that others abandon their mediocre and unoriginal ways.

Grasp for reality - can't get in your clutches with the Starsky and Hutches,
We are striving to convey the truth and realness of our experience, but it can be difficult to do so when popular media and culture promote unrealistic and stereotypical ideals.

Scribbling wannabes promoting the crutches,
Other artists are relying on cliches, stereotypes, and popular trends to gain success, rather than originality or authenticity.

Oh no, Bone and Coffee getting deep again,
Our collaborators Bone and Coffee are exploring complex and profound topics in their music.

Foes, get your boots,
We are ready for confrontation and competition with other artists who may resent or oppose us.

Rich gets stick when heat sets in,
When success and fame are achieved, challenges and conflicts become more intense and difficult to navigate.

Catch wind and hold your nose as the stench of the truth imposes the sell of the units to the youth.
We are challenging the music industry and media to be more honest and genuine in their promotion of music to young audiences.

I'm gonna lay down my burdens down by the riverside,
We are ready to release our stresses and hardships and find peace and inspiration in nature and spirituality.

Gliding across sand with the mic in my hand,
We are smoothly and confidently performing our music and expressing ourselves.

Standing out like in arabesque, my styles are blessed,
Our unique and intricate style is a reflection of our creativity and spirituality.

Delivering the true, you see my mind, I've never been this good,
We are presenting our honest and profound perspective, and our current artistic state is our best yet.

The semen of my psyche, it impregnates the tape,
Our creative ideas and emotions are being recorded and shared through our music, leaving a lasting impact.

Ballistic, mind-blowing concepts of language, in true, deep-seated laws of religion,
Our music contains powerful and revolutionary ideas that challenge and reveal the nature of spirituality and society.

My polemics stand erect, but my craving's not in check,
Our controversial and challenging messages are clear and strong, but we still have a desire for more meaningful and impactful expression.

The elect Coffee runs for alderman,
Our collaborator Coffee is taking a leadership role in his community and using his creativity and talent to effect positive change.

I called him in to hit the frontline,
We have enlisted Coffee to help us in our artistic mission and struggles against industry and societal pressures.

They want rhymes, ill do my best,
We are dedicated to providing high-quality and meaningful lyrics to our listeners, even if it is difficult or unpopular at times.

Make them digest the foam loaf; add some gravy for you, baby,
Our music requires listeners to engage deeply and critically with the messages and ideas presented, but the reward for doing so is a richer and more satisfying experience.

If I ever, better never, write a lyrics without meaning, nowadays people would probably boo me from the stage in a rage,
We recognize the high standards and expectations of our listeners, and strive to always provide music with depth and significance.

Tomato juice dripping from my polo hat,
Our fashion and appearance are unconventional and unpretentious, reflecting our humble and down-to-earth demeanor.

Crying, "Why they dissing? Why won't they listen?"
We are frustrated and confused by those who dismiss or ignore our music despite its quality and importance.

For the chimpanzees the monkey shines the funky rhymes,
Other artists aim their music at a lower, less sophisticated audience, while we strive to elevate and challenge our listeners.

I do, huh, f-f-f-fantastic,
We are confident and proud of the quality and creativity of our music.

Excellence endureth,
Our commitment to producing high-quality and impactful music will never waver or diminish.

Goteeage grips, they toureth,
Our label, Gotee Records, is supporting and promoting our music through touring and other means of exposure.

Mental oven heats the muffin for the jackals who say nothing,
Our minds are constantly creating and refining new ideas and expressions, while other artists remain stagnant and unoriginal.

Some brothers be talking about things they only seen on videos, or they heard it on the radio,
Other artists rely on media and trends to dictate their music, rather than personal experience or authenticity.

I ask real hip-hoppers to bring a stop to these gimmicks and industry investment mimics,
We are calling on other true and passionate artists to join us in challenging the shallow and dishonest practices of the music industry.

Now I'm bidding adieu, my salutation's through,
We are finishing our message and concluding our music, but the impact and importance of our ideas will endure.

Get a clue, get a grip, release the trip,
We are encouraging our listeners to become more aware, critical, and active in their engagement with music and society.

The Christian's position in need of a physician,
Our Christian identity and values require constant attention and care, and we are not afraid to ask for help or guidance.

Grits got the blood of Jesus dripping on renditions.
We are proud to incorporate and reflect our Christian faith and beliefs in our music, and see it as a powerful and important part of our identity.

Ain't saying nothing, got nothing to say,
Other artists may make noise and attract attention, but they are not conveying meaningful or impactful messages through their music.

Emcees today, they got nothing to say,
The current state of the music industry and culture is lacking in depth, originality, and meaning, with few artists willing to take risks or challenge the status quo.
