Grits Lyrics

Where you going?
Asking where the person is headed on their life journey.

I was put in the mix 'bout '86, and ever since I ran from his plans to further man,
Since 1986, I have been trying to escape the plans made by others to advance their own interests.

Understanding through expansion of mind, heart, body, and soul,
Developing a deeper comprehension of life through exploration, growth, and spirituality.

Controlled by the deity of three formed as one,
Guided by a divine force, comprised of three entities working together as one.

The son of prodigy, me,
I am the offspring of a remarkable individual.

Bonafide, the emcee straight from Tenne... the centre of my location,
I am a genuine emcee from Tennessee, where I currently reside.

The operations, formations, completions,
The actions, strategies, and achievements that make up my life.

Franklin, my Mental Releases dime pieces still,
My hometown of Franklin, where I continue to make music.

Nashville, Nob Hill where I chill on the real, hitting home,
I spend my free time in Nashville, particularly in the Nob Hill area where I feel most comfortable.

Ponder the thoughts of all the money spent on useless things I bought,
Reflecting on the regrettable spending decisions I have made in the past.

Afro wigs and Courtney Cox dolls, framed pictures of Richard Moll (Bull),
Examples of some of the frivolous purchases I have made, including wigs, dolls, and pictures of actors.

Robinson's like Holly, so thick you could drive a trolley through my folly,
My foolishness and mistakes being as obvious as a thick forest.

Part on me, like Dolly, in two halves, same as the Red Sea,
I am divided in two, similar to the parting of the Red Sea in the Bible.

I glimpsed the open hands instead of reprimand that fed me,
Instead of punishment, I was shown kindness and understanding, which helped me grow.

Said, "We can journey to places distant and far off,"
I was encouraged to explore new places and experiences.

Thinking to myself, "First I need to drop my car off."
Before embarking on this journey, I need to attend to some practical matters, such as arranging transportation.

I'm coming home, Daddy,
I am returning to my spiritual home and seeking the comfort of my father figure.

Make sure you keep the gate open,
Please keep the way open for me to return.

I'm loosened from the worldly pleasure, Daddy,
I am free from the fleeting pleasures of the earthly world.

Meet me outside,
Please come greet me when I arrive.

Greet me with your arms extended, Daddy,
Please embrace me and show me affection.

Take an EPT so phat, hope I ain't pregnant to this nasty world,
I hope that I have not been permanently affected by the ugliness and negativity of the world.

It would be more entertaining than Cedric,
If this world were a person, its behavior would be more absurd and comical than a famous comedian.

And I would be dug less, like Frederick, by all my peers,
I would be ridiculed and ostracized by my peers if I were to conform to the ways of the world.

Purchase maternity gear at Sears,
I would be resigned to wearing clothes that are cheap and unflattering if I were to live like others do.

Succumb to all their jeers and their taunts, shedding tears for all my wants and desires,
I would buckle under the pressure of criticism and ridicule, and lose sight of my true goals and desires.

Pray to God I'm absent when this world erupts with fire,
I hope that I will not be present when the world becomes consumed by chaos and destruction.

Kevin Costner dances with flames, with a dousing Richard Pryor,
The world is so consumed by destruction that even Hollywood celebrities are caught up in it.

Revelation called it: everything gets scalded,
The Book of Revelation prophesies that everything in the world will be destroyed and punished.

Kicking up dust, who can I trust?
In this chaotic and untrustworthy world, it is difficult to know who to rely on.

Rush like Paula Abdul, cruel,
The world can be fast-paced and unforgiving, much like the pop star Paula Abdul's dance moves.

This world served me sadness from acting the fool,
The world has made me unhappy and caused me pain because of my own foolishness and mistakes.

My idle mind was a tool used for worldly occupation,
I wasted too much time on superficial things that didn't truly matter in life.

Sleepless nights spent with my knees bent,
I have spent many nights in prayer and contemplation, hoping for guidance and strength.

Conversations with the upper case requesting strength when
I ask God for help and guidance when I am feeling weak and unsure.

Opposition moved in with plans of ambush and attack at my weakest moments,
The obstacles and challenges in life seem to appear when I am least equipped to handle them.

Wishing my life could be back under protection of his will, been left for thrills,
I long to return to a time when I was content with living within God's will, instead of chasing pleasure and excitement.

Searching for the path to the gate of my crib where my daddy live.
I am seeking a way to return home and be with my spiritual father again.

The smell of seals, a bird, and a monkey mixed with the stench of junkies best describes my kind of funky, spunky, spastic,
My unique style of music can be described as a combination of many disparate elements and moods.

Your life can't be recycled, why you living plastic?
You only live once, so why waste your time with superficial or unfulfilling pursuits?

Your insides are all dirty, why does the outside look fantastic?
You may appear to be well put-together on the surface, but inside you are struggling with negative emotions and fears.

Devil couldn't wait to get his hands on you,
The forces of darkness eagerly await the chance to lead you astray or cause you harm.

Conformed you, turned your gold to ormolu,
You have been transformed into something less valuable than what you once were, through the influence of the world and its temptations.

Now shame on you,
You should feel a sense of guilt or regret for having lost your way or betrayed your values.

Made a dame of you,
You have been reduced to a mere object or stereotype, rather than recognized for your true worth as a person.

You say, "Whatever," - well, the same to you,
You may respond with indifference or apathy, but the same can be said of your lack of concern for your spiritual well-being and purpose.

Splitting like an atom, I got things to do,
I am ready to break free from my current lifestyle and focus on more meaningful goals and activities.

Do who? You? Me too?
Who will accomplish these goals and live a more spiritually fulfilling life? Both you and I.

My desires expired, dismissed,
I am no longer interested in pursuing shallow or meaningless desires and material possessions.

My riches lay in heavenly clenched fists,
My true wealth lies in the love and grace of God.

Swiss account type interests, no man's hands can touch,
These spiritual riches are untouchable and cannot be stolen or corrupted by others.

Uncorrupted, with the pureness of innocence and such,
My spiritual wealth is unspoiled by the negativity and corruption of the world.

Mindset's not in agreeance with all of my peeps,
My way of thinking does not align with the views and values of all of my peers or acquaintances.

Absence of scams for yams numbered in heaps, knee deep,
I am not seeking to deceive or manipulate others in order to amass large amounts of material wealth.

The cram to understand the faith of this man,
Others may struggle to comprehend my spiritual beliefs and values.

Until then, when comprehension of sin, free lifestyle, loo child,
Until others can understand the nature of my beliefs, they may view my rejection of worldly desires as naive or foolish.

I'm heading home, where I know it's gonna be easier pleasing you, Daddy,
I am returning to my spiritual home, where I know it will be simpler and more fulfilling to live in alignment with God's will.

I'm coming home.
I am returning to my spiritual home and seeking the comfort of my father figure.
