You know what you do when you do when you
When you do when you do when you do
Yeah, that's that shit you do
Fuck it, I love it
She was light-skin, no, dark-skin
Kinda fit, kinda short, kinda tall
Look sexy in everything she put her body in
Sweet as a Georgia peach, I'm really
Really tryna bend
A 20 outta 10, met her at the West Inn
A green bra, it don't matter
She was shoppin'
I approached her and told her I do
Recommend that we become lovers and friends
My comments made her grin
I knew I had her then gave mе the number
Told me hit hеr on the weekend
So I did, at the dinner I was skeetin'
Time went on, now, her parents, I'm meetin'
I was sprung like T-Pain, no, not a
Stuck on stupid, she drivin' me insane
And every morning, I'm eatin' the same thing
I'm addicted to them GRITS
I love them GRITS girls raised in the south
You see 'em after the club
At the waffle house i love them GRITS
Girls raised in the south
Think it's then they quick to run they mouth
I love them GRITS
Grits, grits, grits, grits, grits
I love them GRITS
Grits, grits, grits, grits, grits
I love them
I adore her, I mean I love her
I would do anything for her, fuck it
I wanna leave her
Do I want her? Do I need her?
Sometimes I be wishing we were married
And had kids with a white fence
A big driveway, station wagon, with no tints
On the highway, ridin', laughin'
Then I wake up to your pillow full of makeup
Maybe we should breakup
For the sake of our sanity
I've had enough drama to last me
Yes, it's been rough, feel like I'm in cuffs
Trapped, I'm fallin', steady, tryna stand up
The GRITS keep callin' me back
I'm sorry, please darling
Accept my apology for causin'
Any problems, trust me, love
Let's solve 'em, we can make music
I love them GRITS girls raised in the south
You see 'em after the club
At the waffle house i love them GRITS
Girls raised in the south
Think it's then they quick to run they mouth
I love them GRITS
Grits, grits, grits, grits, grits
I love them GRITS
Grits, grits, grits, grits, grits
I love them
We will never, this is forever
Any day, any time, any weather
We gon' be together, nothin' can sever
The way I feel about y'all, nobody's better
Than them girls raised in the south
The GRITS is what I'm talkin' bout
Season 'em, serve 'em
Then put 'em in your mouth
You hypnotized by them GRITS, nigga

A 20 outta 10, met her at the West Inn
I considered her a perfect 10, and we met at a hotel called West Inn
A green bra, it don't matter
The color of her bra was green, but it doesn't affect my attraction to her
She was shoppin'
She was browsing or buying things
I approached her and told her I do
I went up to her and expressed my interest
Recommend that we become lovers and friends
Suggested that we enter into a romantic and friendly relationship
My comments made her grin

I wanna leave her
I have conflicting feelings, and part of me wants to end the relationship
Do I want her? Do I need her?
Do I truly desire her? Do I require her in my life?
Sometimes I be wishing we were married
At times, I fantasize about being married to her
And had kids with a white fence
Having children and living in a house with a white picket fence
A big driveway, station wagon, with no tints
A large driveway and a car with no window tints
On the highway, ridin', laughin'
Driving on the highway, having fun and laughing together
Then I wake up to your pillow full of makeup
Then I wake up next to you with your makeup smudged on the pillow
Maybe we should breakup
Perhaps we should end our relationship
For the sake of our sanity
In order to preserve our mental well-being
I've had enough drama to last me
I've experienced more than enough conflicts and turmoil
Yes, it's been rough, feel like I'm in cuffs
Indeed, it has been tough, I feel constrained
Trapped, I'm fallin', steady, tryna stand up
Feeling trapped, I'm falling down but trying to get back up
The GRITS keep callin' me back
The girls raised in the south (GRITS) keep enticing me to return
I'm sorry, please darling
I apologize, my dear
Accept my apology for causin'
Please forgive me for the troubles I've caused
Any problems, trust me, love
Have faith in me, my love, in resolving any issues
Let's solve 'em, we can make music
Let's work through them, together we can create something beautiful
We will never, this is forever
We will always be together, this is a long-lasting commitment
Any day, any time, any weather
No matter the day, time, or weather conditions
We gon' be together, nothin' can sever
We will stay together, nothing can break us apart
The way I feel about y'all, nobody's better
No one can compare to the feelings I have for all of you
Than them girls raised in the south
Specifically, those girls raised in the southern part of the country
The GRITS is what I'm talkin' bout
I'm referring to the girls raised in the south (GRITS)
Season 'em, serve 'em
Prepare them and present them
Then put 'em in your mouth
Then enjoy them
You hypnotized by them GRITS, nigga
You're captivated by those girls raised in the south (GRITS), my friend
