Ooh Ahh
The Grits Lyrics

My life be like ooh ah, yeah, ooh ooh
The ups and downs of my life are indescribable but I keep going

My life be like ooh ah, ooh ah, yeah, ooh ooh
My life is full of surprises and unexpected turns

Ooh ah, yeah, ooh ooh
I'm experiencing mixed emotions that are hard to put into words

It's times like these that make me say
During tough times, I call out to the Lord for help

Lord if you see me please come my way
I need divine intervention to overcome my struggles and challenges

Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
I try to create a path that brings me back to the right direction when I feel lost

Rely on sacrifice and the price you pay
I believe in the power of sacrifice and that everything comes at a cost

Feel me like a fingertip (F-fingertip, f-fingertip)
I'm asking to be noticed and understood completely

Sometimes I fall, I slip
I'm not immune to making mistakes and experiencing setbacks

My heart felt desire be more like you
I strive to emulate the qualities of the divine being at all times

Trying not to quench your fire with the things I do
I'm conscious of how my actions can negatively impact my relationship with God

I'm on an island by my lonesome stranded
I feel isolated and alone in my struggles

Low key and stayin' candid, reflect on all the things I try my hand at
I keep a low profile but I constantly reflect on my pursuits and aspirations

Search for the equations to persuasions I'm used to
I try to understand the underlying factors that influence my beliefs and choices

Finding comfort in the zones of closet bones I get loose to
I find solace in the things that make me feel alive and free from restriction

A mountainous fontaine, spinnin' and monsoonin'
My emotions are like a powerful, unpredictable force of nature

Grinnin' it's high octane, explosive how I came
I approach life with an infectious energy and enthusiasm

Rollin' down hills 'cause life's a hassle
Life is difficult and full of obstacles, but I keep moving forward

Encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
I'm often trapped by my own mistakes and poor decisions

Stay afloat catch a second wind, thin is the air I breathe
I keep pushing forward and try to find a way to survive, even in challenging circumstances

Teary eyed nose runnin', wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm emotional and struggling, but I keep going

I'm callin' on the savior, to be all that I need
I'm looking to God for guidance, support, and salvation

Please forgive me, my behavior had me lost at light speed
I'm asking God to forgive me for the mistakes I've made while trying to find my way

The fear of never falling in love
I'm scared of never finding true love or losing it after experiencing it

And the tears after losing the feelings of what you thought love was
I'm heartbroken after losing the love I thought I had

Like the dirt still up under the rug
The hurt and pain from past relationships still linger

My life be like bad characteristics covered in Christ's blood
My faults and flaws are redeemed by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ

The joy of new birth and the pain of growing up
Life is full of both positive and negative experiences that contribute to our growth

The bliss between giving my all and giving up
There's a certain kind of happiness in fully committing to something you believe in, even when it's hard

The highs and lows, paths and roads I chose
Life is full of ups and downs, and we make choices that determine our path

In the cold I froze trying to ease my woes
I'm struggling to cope with challenges and hardships, and I feel frozen in place

In this world of sin, clothes to thin to fend
The temptations and difficulties of this world are too strong for me to resist on my own

So to God I send words of help to win
I pray to God for guidance and strength to overcome my struggles

In grumblings so deep, letters could never express
My pain and sorrow are too great to put into words

So the sound of, ooh aah, beneath my breath projects
I express my deepest emotions through sounds and gestures

My life be like (don't be bad)
My life is an unpredictable journey, but I strive to do good and avoid making bad decisions

Dum dum diti, here comes that boy from the capital city
This line doesn't seem to convey a specific meaning and may be purely for stylistic purposes

Last up on the Grits new ditty
The singer is the last performer on a new Grits song

But eight bars of the truth will do, eh
The singer only needs eight bars to speak the truth

I believe there's a bride that's stunning
The artist believes in the existence of a beautiful bride (possibly a metaphor for the church)

And, I believe in the kingdom coming
The artist believes in the second coming of Christ and the arrival of the kingdom of heaven

I believe if you seek the truth
The singer believes that truth can be found through seeking

You don't need to look far 'cause it's gonna find you
Truth will reveal itself to those who are open to it

So why oh why do I trip and stumble
The artist wonders why they often fall short of their beliefs and goals

And ooh ah, as commitment crumbles
The artist expresses their disappointment in themselves when they fail to commit to their beliefs

I can't believe I'm here again
The artist is frustrated with finding themselves in the same situation as before
