Believe
Grits Lyrics

Everybody needs something to see
People need a vision, something that they can visualize in their minds.

Something to feel
People need something that can evoke emotions within them, something that they can connect with on an emotive level.

And something to be
People need a sense of identity, something that they can identify with and call their own.

Everybody needs something as proof
People need evidence to support what they believe in.

Something in hand
People need tangible evidence that can help them have faith in what they believe in.

To know the truth
People need to know the reality of the matter and not just live in ignorance.

Livin' lavish like the biltmore
Living life extravagantly, like the famous Biltmore Hotel.

What the blood spilt for
Asking the real purpose for living a life of luxury and what price was paid for others to have that luxury.

A ship in harbor safe
A ship is safer when it stays in a place where it cannot be destroyed by storms and the elements.

But that ain't what its built for
A ship is meant for exploration, it was not built to stay stationary and safe in a harbor.

Do all I can to help you get more
Willingness to help others maximize and elevate their life's journey.

If you forgive my slight intrusion
Asking the other person for permission to offer advice or guidance before giving it.

I see this night is confusin
Acknowledging the confusion or chaos around the person.

A constant fight with illusions
Life is a constant battle full of illusions and false realities that one must overcome.

Shed a light on conclusions
Finding clarity and understanding by breaking down conclusions and analyzing them closely.

What you desire is a way out
The person desires an escape or a solution to their current circumstance.

Day in and day out
Every day or continuously in life.

Do not disturb signs so ill stay out
Giving people the space they need to handle their own problems without intervening unnecessarily.

How long will you let the torture grasp you
Asking how long they will let their anguish and pain control their life.

I see spirits manifestin
Seeing the forces beyond the physical world affecting the person's life.

Blockin' blessings with the questions
Allowing doubts and uncertainty to block good things from happening.

That you hear me ask you
Asking the person for an answer to the questions and doubts they hear.

Keep it up so much will pass you
Encouraging the person to keep going forward in life, or they will get left behind.

You can make it on a prayer
Faith has the power to help people overcome obstacles and push through tough times.

Yeah that's true
Affirming the power of faith and prayer.

But barely getting by when you can do more
Reminding the person that they have the potential to do more with their life.

Why would you want to
Questioning why someone would want to live a life without achieving their full potential.

Forgettin that the woods dry and the fires on you
Forgetting that disaster can strike at any time, even when things are going well.

Life's a hustle
Life can be a constant struggle.

Be prepared to rastle
Being ready and willing to fight for what you want in life.

It can be rough
Life can be difficult and full of challenges.

But it don't have to
Life does not always have to be difficult, it can be fulfilling and happy too.

You can make it full of smiles
The power to create a happy and fulfilling life lies within the person themselves.

Something to laugh to
Creating moments of joy and laughter in life can be a source of hope and relief from tough times.

So pick and chose my message thick
Choosing which message to take and making sure it is the correct one.

So squeeze and watch it ooze
Taking time to reflect on the message, absorbing it slowly and analyzing it carefully.

Make it a game to where your fears lose
Find ways to overcome fears and turn them into positive results.

Lets go
Encouraging the person to move forward with the advice given.

There's a way that seems right
Some ways seem like the right path to take.

In the heart of a man
In the mind of a person.

And many angels of light
People are often deceived by false beliefs that seem good on the surface.

In disguise destroying man
These false beliefs can ultimately lead to destruction and devastation in a person's life.

So most chose to refuse
Most people choose to reject the truth for comfort and security of their false beliefs.

The absolute truth
The ultimate and undeniable truth of life and existence.

Replace it with lies
Rejecting the truth for empty promises and comforting lies.

Use ignorance as an excuse
Making a conscious decision to stay ignorant, blaming it on circumstances or society.

It's hard to conceive
It can be tough to wrap one's mind around certain concepts.

What the mind can't comprehend
The mind is limited in its ability to comprehend certain truths.

And harder to believe
Even when understood, some truths are harder to believe than others.

What the eyes can't understand
Not everything can be observed or understood through the physical senses.

We look to theory philosophy and thought
People look toward various works and theories for understanding.

For a sure foundation
People look to philosophical works as a way to feel secure and comforted in their beliefs.

In a belief we once sought
People often hold onto beliefs they have had for a long time, even if there is no evidence for them being true.

While the shadow of truth
Something that hints at the true reality of things.

Cast an image so clear
The truth is so obvious that even the image of it is clear.

The closer it gets
The more one approaches a realization of the truth, the more resistance is met.

We reject it out of fear
Fear and uncertainty can cause a person to reject the truth.

If we really wanted truth
If a person genuinely wants to understand the truth of life.

We would give our lives for
They would be willing to sacrifice and make difficult choices to pursue the truth.
