Testo Life After Mental - Grits
Testo della canzone Life After Mental (Grits), tratta dall'album Factors of the Seven
I keep coming at you, lyrical raptures capture you
Only if your soul is ready, I'm coming after you
Body-snatching you and dismantling your crew
As Tennesseans with nouns and verbs agreeing with higher beings
Sending messages, spread through your chest and chest
Blessings from conception, rearranging your perception
This planetary lyricist, at least that's what the Source quotes
Resurrecting hip-hop on a higher plateau
We crept low, moving slow with intention to blow
Carry loads of flows for those who doubt and didn't know
As circumstances deepens, prime intensity back in the
Center of my body structure, ready to rupture
At times I sat back to think again and again
How I broke the golden rule by doing business with friends
My mind travels paths on a search to be free
Suspicion, felt corruption, had a piece of gold teeth
Success had me stressed like the G-Mobile
Cee-Lo's verse on thought process was a description of me
But then again I caught the vision that was given within
As a child rocking mirrors, wishing I was Rakim
On stage engaging state to state rampages
Airplay, videos, and stretch 'Lac limos
The dream just seemed impossible, but now I'm doing shows
For thousands, saving souls through licks laced with spirits
Concrete in the belief that I inject on beats
Deplete God's word that is instilled in me
To the masses 'til I feel my mission here is complete
And it's essential that this is my life after mental
Mental's over, it's the dawn of a new day
Out with the old, different messages to relay
Mental's gone, it's time to do it up again
The past is behind, life after will begin
Mental's over, it's the dawn of a new day
Out with the old, different messages to relay
Mental's gone, it's time to do it up again
The past is behind, life after will begin
Now let's all gather to see who can talk the most noise on an album
You the listeners decide the outcome
How come it's our second record without
Mental getting the recognition it deserves?
This Christian industry is getting on my nerves
Serves us right for thinking they would believe our vision
Give us proper support, but when it got hectic, mission abort
Poor sports is what they called us, now that's crazy
All 'cause we wanted to be pushed, not ambushed and pulled
Off the shelves for being ourselves, unlike no one else
But still they make comparisons, how un-American
Striving in the midst of war zones and red tape
They try to hold us back, but it's
The black in me that makes me create
Colorful collages hang on the walls of garages
No mirages, what you see is what you get
Ah, that's that hit, aw shoot, you know I'm in cahoots
With the higher power, sprinkle me with spiritual showers
Dranks, anyone pouring glasses of Tang
If you drink it from me, the flavor's lemon meringue
I'ma be me despite the shackles of the industry
Bumped their last chances, God engineers my circumstances
And hey, I think I like that, he's the one I confide in
Never dealing shady and letting the enemy slide in
This rap game is all I got to maintain
It keeps me sane in my life after mental
Mental's over, it's the dawn of a new day
Out with the old, different messages to relay
Mental's gone, it's time to do it up again
The past is behind, life after will begin
Mental's over, it's the dawn of a new day
Out with the old, different messages to relay
Mental's gone, it's time to do it up again
The past is behind, life after will begin
