J.R. Vautour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cruising the city just not for ya spectacle
Yall ain't been hearing me, get em an aid
Think that It's time that we be more receptable
Come as you are (yeah), but only come in if you dressing respectable
Let me take off the white tee and these Jay's, so maybe I'll be more acceptable
STL in my veins, I bleed 314 til I die
I stay posted up in the burbs, but my attitude from the CHI
More like CHI-RcQ, don't push the button I bite back
I came from the Southside of the kingdom I ain't soft just saved don't test the act
1994 EST
I walk what I preach
Everything I speak is cold
So I put diamonds on my teeth
Used to run with lions til I almost got devoured
Now I'm floating like a dove and still ascending by the hour
I ain't never been no coward
So don't test me like no scantron
You boys got me confused im like my God please take a tampon
cin't the one for you to stamp on
But I am the ONE
Only cuz the father saw it fit to send His only son
Okay I'm done
Nah, that wasn't it
If I can't be honest, yall making me sick
Church full of hypocrites, call us denegenerites
Talking for show like it's Ellen Degeneres
Turning your back on the ones that would benefit
I cannot get with this, I'm flippin more than just tables
I'm calling the church to the way he intended it
Flippin more than just tables but birds
Cuz I'm thru with the labels like I just start thrifting my clothes
Lifting ya nose
ct the sick and the thirsty
While praying revival outside of ya home?
I can't condone
Like margaritas I can't sugar coat it
They salty I know
I see yall mad at what God says is chosen
I'm checking ya heart like you hearing the tone
Flat line please revive em
ct this point they wouldn't know you if you stood right there beside em
Ima write em a new letter like I'm adding to the alphabet
From JR to the church
Do you the think that Christ is proud of this?
Sincerely signed the hurt
Wait woah
Let me back it up
Never been too good at acting but I'm good at acting up
To back it up - my charges don't fit on a list
But He chose to acquit every one
I think I'm done
Forgive me I'm real I just say how I feel it must be where I'm from
I'm shipping the box that they taped me in back to the sender cuz He got the say when it's all said and done
I'm flippin more than tables
Know it's all in righteous anger
Know some people needing saving
Need the church to stop the playing
We got willing hearts, being turned away
This a call for the church to get they priorities straight, okay okay
I'm flippin more than just the tables
Know it's all in righteous anger
Know some people needing saving
Need the church to stop the playing
We got willing hearts, being turned away
This a call for the church to get they priorities straight, okay okay okay

Line by Line Meaning
Said it over and over in my mind
Replayed the thought of ending our relationship several times in my head
How do you say that it's over, for the last time?
Unsure of how to communicate that our relationship has come to an end for good
Thinking maybe I should 'til the morning
Considering waiting until tomorrow to have this conversation
But how do you say that it's over for the last time
Still unsure of how to properly conclude our relationship
We shared the same friends and apartment, but lately we don't talk
Although we live and socialize in the same environments, we have not been engaging each other
Only about other's problems, but never mention ours
We tend to only discuss others' issues instead of our own relationship conflicts
I barely recognize those portraits, hangin' on the walls
The pictures on the walls appear foreign and unfamiliar
Tell me do you think we lost it? 'Cause they don't look like us
Wondering if our relationship has diminished to a point where we no longer resemble the couple in the photographs
Feels like we wait for a bigger mistake
It seems that we are anticipating a significant error to occur
'Cause all the small ones are already made
We have already encountered minor issues in our relationship
And I hate how it's so hard to say
Expressing dissatisfaction with the difficulty in making the decision to end the relationship
Just give me a reason to stay
Requesting an incentive or justification to continue the relationship
'Cause I want something more than 'OK'
Aspiring for a relationship that is more rewarding than simply average or satisfactory
I need something more than 'OK'
Reiterating a desire for a fulfilling relationship
It's like I miss feeling nervous when we touch
Reflecting on missing the excitement and anticipation that used to be associated with physical touch
And I miss feeling certain about us
Expressing regret for the loss of confidence and sureness in our relationship
Thinking maybe we got tired of trying
Contemplating the possibility that we simply became apathetic or fatigued in our relationship efforts
So I'm 'bout to be honest for once
Deciding to be forthcoming and candid in the upcoming conversation
I need something more than a, 'OK-OK, OK-OK'
Reiterating the importance of having a relationship that is more than just adequate
I need something more than 'OK'
Stressing the desire for a fulfilling relationship
I need something more than a, 'OK-OK, OK-OK'
Once again emphasizing the need for a relationship that surpasses mediocrity
