Soul Cry
Grits Lyrics

Help me, help me, help me,
Asking for help from anyone who can hear

Help me, help me, help me, (can anybody?)
Questioning if anyone is able to help

Help me, help me, help me, (is somebody gonna?)
Questioning if anyone will actually provide the help

Got a vivid tale of how fate played out,
Narrating a story of what has happened

While these words formulate a mind of their own, respect the grind that they're on,
Acknowledging that the words have a power of their own and to understand the hard work behind them

What the heck you expect when you touch the erogenous zone?
Pondering the consequences of crossing sexual boundaries

Be freaky-deaky when it's my micky - Mr. Misogynist's whore,
Taking a sarcastic tone regarding someone who views women solely as objects of pleasure

He cops a feel when his thoughts bill - for real?
Questioning if someone is truly willing to live up to their words and actions

Here in off the chase, his face is flushed, embarrassed 'cause he knows he ought to chill,
Describing someone who is driven by lust and knows they should stop

But his drive is in the fast lane, throws caution to the wind,
Describing someone who recklessly pursues their desires

I know it blows, so he goes, he spends his cash, man,
Recognizing the negative outcomes of indulging in one's desires

Bad chicks - he's decided he can ride it,
Describing someone who objectifies women and sees them as objects to be used

Oh man, the things he do, hotels he brings them to and what they do,
Describing explicit activities and locations that are alluring to someone who is driven by lust

Hey, yo, I think we got it - you just don't know the half,
Asserting that there is much more to the story than what has been mentioned

Don't laugh 'cause this could be every one of us, brought on 'cause of what the past has done to us,
Reminding that everyone is vulnerable to negative actions and that the past can shape current behaviors

This here is serious, don't be oblivious to that which is made known,
Emphasizing the gravity of the situation and urging people to pay attention

Silence has made a taboo which you ain't grown,
Noting that some subjects and actions are not talked about, leading to a culture that accepts negative behavior

And you in need or a spurt,
Addressing those who feel alone and in need of help

Believe this is Jesus who's speaking out and relieving hurt, cleansing us all when we deal in dirt.
Framing the request for help as a call to be saved from negative behavior and being purified

In the eyes of the desperate the cries are heard,
Recognizing that those who are in need will make their voice heard in some way

To ashamed to express it, so we say it without words,
Noting that some people are too ashamed to speak up and may try to communicate nonverbally

But illustrated in the actions and emotions disturbed, self-destructive satisfaction and addiction emerge,
Showing how negative behavior and addictions can manifest in a person's actions and feelings

It all started in the garden with an innocent glace,
Beginning a metaphorical story with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden

Now enters the chance - it's slim 'cause the addiction advance,
Continuing the story and describing the progression of addiction

Now children with bloody hands write their name on the wall and hang in the mall, and leave a stain, a pain on us all,
Using graphic imagery to illustrate the negative impact of addiction and destructive behavior

So I sacrifice and bear the crucifixion involved, and pray this music makes a difference for the tainted and flawed,
Expressing a desire to make a sacrifice and use music as a way to make a positive impact on those who suffer from negative behavior

Erase the pain and leave them blameless when they stand before God, 'cause I could never stand by doing nothing while souls cry.
Expressing a desire to help people who suffer from negative behavior and do what is right before God
