Video Girl
Grits Lyrics

You a video girl
The singer finds it hard to believe that the listener is a video girl

Video girl create your own world
Being a video girl means creating your own world where you are the only one in existence and no one can resist you

Seem like a dream on the screen
On the screen, video girls appear to be like a dream - tantalizing and titillating

Tantalize and titillate, Video girl of the world
Video girls tantalize and titillate their viewers, and they are a phenomenon all over the world

She was slightly dressed
The girl being described was dressed in a risqué way

Out to impress, ready to party
She was dressed to impress and to go out and party

Gettin casted for tha club scenes dyin to shake her body
She was auditioning for scenes in a club, and she was eager to show off her dancing skills

To get on tha set
She was willing to do whatever it takes to get on the set

She compromised for tha dollas
She compromised her morals for money

Dancin freaky with tha rappers obsessed with poppin collers
She danced in a provocative way with rappers who were obsessed with showing off their wealth

Bought some hair and nails
She bought hair extensions and nail enhancements to look more glamorous

Found some dudes that rap
She found some men who were rappers

While she's rockin tha tiny shorts and tha shirt from baby gap
She was wearing tiny shorts and a shirt from a children's clothing store in an attempt to look sexy

Never told of her inner goal
She was never told about her true calling or potential

Just a jewel that got appraised by unqualified guys
She was seen as a valuable object by men who were not qualified to appreciate her true worth

Fellas after tha flesh, they ain't goin' see wat I'm gettin
Men who are only interested in physical pleasure won't understand what the artist is saying

'Cause they measure every girl by these video women
Men compare every woman to video girls and other unrealistic standards

I'm sick of all they constant bouncin then they say
The singer is tired of men constantly bouncing around and then acting like they are respectful

We disrespectful 'cause we crave em with our instant
Men are disrespectful because they want instant gratification and will do anything to get it

Pouncin the money drive em to mishaps and under
Men's quest for money leads them to make mistakes and fall short of their aspirations

They thongs lie decay and collapse no morals perhaps
Women who wear thongs and other revealing clothing are often seen as immoral

The scenery's pretty the suns shining it's nice out
The environment around them is bright and beautiful

A pretty girl freakin on a pimp who'd knock her lights out
A beautiful girl is dancing provocatively with a pimp who would harm her if she refused

Gangsta with gold fronts and the girl he's advancin on
A gangster who has gold teeth is making advances on a girl

Would rather run him over with the truck she's dancing on
She would rather harm him than continue to dance with him

And he'd be hurt up pretty badly I must say word up
He would be seriously hurt if she acted on her impulse

Don't debate it I know they hate being affiliated
People don't like being associated with this kind of behavior

To this world they created with facades that leave you devastated
This world of video girls leaves people feeling disillusioned and disturbed

The glamorous life price for your souls rest
The glamorous life comes at the cost of your soul's rest

Simple mentality in a world complex
People who are simple-minded are at a disadvantage in a complex world

Star studded reality 5 minutes or less
Fame is fleeting and doesn't last long

Broken dreams and ambitions lost with respect
People's dreams and ambitions are often destroyed when they lose respect for themselves

She was an innocent queen with rubber bands and berets
She used to be an innocent queen who wore rubber bands and berets

Young diva runnin things commanding every step
She was a young diva who was in control of everything she did

Then the pace picked up and she learned to be fast
As she became more famous, she learned to move quickly and take advantage of opportunities

Short skirt tight clothes good spirit turned bad
She started wearing revealing clothes, which changed her from someone with a good spirit to someone who was bad

Hollywood caught a glimpse of your beauty untamed
Hollywood saw her potential to be beautiful and untamed

At the cost you played whatever price you paid
She paid a high cost to become famous

Through away your identity even changed your name
She lost her identity and even changed her name to become more famous

In your world of fame child you need to be shamed
The artist believes that she should be ashamed of what she has become in her world of fame

In tha world of fame
This is the world that the artist is referring to - the world of fame
