Ooh Aah
The Grits Lyrics

My life be like oh ah, yeah, oh oh
This is what my life is like, with ups and downs

My life be like oh ah, oh ah, yeah, oh oh
Again, this is what my life is like with all its complexities

oh ah, yeah, oh oh
Reinforcing the previous lines, describing the complexities of life

It's times like these that make me say
When times are tough, I acknowledge my need for help

Lord if you see me please come my way
I ask for help from a higher power

Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
I hope to find a way back when I wander off course

Rely on sacrifice and the price you pay
I trust that sacrifice and effort will pay off in the end

Feel me like a fingertip
I hope you can understand me on a personal level

Sometimes I fall I slip
I'm not perfect, sometimes I make mistakes

My heart felt desire be more like you
I aspire to be a better person, like a role model

Trying not to quench your fire with the things I do
I hope not to disappoint or go against a higher power

On an island by my lonesome stranded
Sometimes I feel alone, lost, or isolated

Low key and stayin' candid, reflect on all the things I try my hand at
I take a low-key approach to life and reflect on past choices

Search for the equations to persuasions I'm used to
I search for answers or solutions that work with my beliefs and values

Finding comfort in the zones of closet bones I get loose to
I find comfort in my own personal space, where I can let loose and be myself

A mountainous fontaine, spinnin' and monsoonin'
Life can be intense and chaotic, like a monsoon or waterfall

Grinnin' it's high octane, explosive how I came
Despite the intensity, I try to approach life with a positive attitude and a lot of energy

Rollin' down hills 'cause life's a hastle
I go with the flow of life, which can be difficult at times

Encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
Sometimes I'm stuck in my own mistakes or foolishness like a castle surrounded by a moat

Stay afloat catch a second wind, thin is the air I breathe
I try to stay afloat and persevere even when it feels difficult or exhausting

Teary eyed nose runnin', wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm not immune to sadness, I cry and get sick like anyone else

I'm callin' on the savior, to be all that I need
I rely on my faith and my beliefs in a higher power to help me through tough times

Please forgive me, my behavior had me lost at light speed
I ask for forgiveness for my past mistakes and poor behavior

The fear of never falling in love
I'm afraid of never finding true love or connection with someone

And the tears after losing the feelings of what you thought love was
I've experienced heartbreak and disappointment in love

Like the dirt still up under the rug
Like dirt hiding under a rug, there are negative emotions or experiences that still haunt me

My life be like bad characteristics to cover in Christ's blood
In my faith, I hope for redemption of my negative traits through the sacrifice of a higher power

The joy of new birth and the pain of growing up
There are moments of happiness and moments of growth and struggle in life

The bliss between giving my all and giving up
Finding a balance between working hard and taking breaks is key

The highs and lows, paths and roads I chose
My life has had ups and downs, and I've made choices that led me down certain paths

In the cold I froze trying to ease my woes
I've struggled and felt frozen in tough situations, trying to find comfort and a way out

In this world of sin, clothes to thin to fend
In a world filled with negativity and wrongdoing, it can be hard to protect oneself

So to God I send words of help to win
I turn to my faith and a higher power for guidance and support

In grumblings so deep, letters could never express
Sometimes my pain or frustration is too deep for words to properly describe

So the sound of, oh ah, beneath my breath projects
The sound of my pain and frustration can only be expressed through sound or expression

Come young diti, here comes that boy from the capital city
This lyric is a reference to a particular person or situation, possibly the rapper's own life or a friend/colleague

Last up on the Grits new diti
Possibly a reference to the end of a performance or album by the group Grits

But eight bars of the truth will do, eh
The truth doesn't need a lot of time or explanation, just a few bars or lines can suffice

I believe there's a bride that's stunning
A reference to a religious belief or hope for something beautiful and divine

And, I believe in the kingdom coming
Another reference to religious faith or hope for a better future

I believe if you seek the truth
Another reference to seeking truth or enlightenment

You don't need to look far 'cause it's gonna find you
The truth or what you're searching for may already be within reach, you just need to open your eyes to see it
