Grits - Life After Mental Lyrics
[Bonafide]I keep comin' at youLyrical raptures capture youOnly if your soul is readyI comin' after youBodysnatchin' you and dismantlin' your crewIt's Tennesseeans wit nouns and verbs agreein'Wit higher beingSendin' messagesSpreadin' through your chest it's justBlessings from conception rearrangin' your perceptionThis planetary lyricistAt least that's what the Source quotesResurrectin' hip-hop on a higher plateauWe crept lowMovin' slow with intention to blowCarry loads of flows for those who doubt and didn't knowAnd circumstances deep in crime intense seat back in theCenter of my body structureReady to ruptureAt times I sat back to think again and againHow I broke the golden rule by doing business with friendsMy mind traveled paths on a search to be freeSuspicion felt corruption had a piece of GoteeSuccess had me stressed like the G-Mo-BCee-Lo's verse on "Thought Process" was the description of meBut them again I caught the vision that was given withinAs a child rockin' mirrors wishin' I was RakimOn stageEngagin' state to stateRampages, airplay, videos, and stretch black limosThe dream that seemed impossibleBut now I'm doin' show for thousandsSavin' souls through leastLacin' spirits concreteAnd the belief that I inject on beatsDepleteGod's word that is instilled in meTo the masses 'til I feel my mission here is completeAnd it's essentialThat this is my life after mental(Chorus) 2XMental's overIt's the dawn of a new dayOut with the oldDifferent messages to relayMental's goneIt's time to do it up againThe past is behindLife after will begin[Coffee]Now let's talkGather to see who can talk the most noise on an albumYou the listeners decide the outcomeHow comeIt's our second record without Mental... gettin' the recognition it deservedThis Christian industry is gettin' on my nerveServes us right for thinkin' they would believe our visionGive us proper supportBut when it got hecticMission abortPoor sports is what they called usNow that's crazyAll cause we wanted to be pushedNot ambushed and pulledOff the shelves for being ourselvesUnlike no one elseBut still they made comparisonsHow Un-AmericanStrivin' in the midst of warzones and red tapeThey try to hold us backBut it's the black in me that makes me createColorful collages hang on the walls of garagesNo miragesWhat you see is what you getAh, that's that hitAh shoots you know I'm in cohootsWith the higher powerSprinkle me with spirital showersDrinks anyonePourin' glasses of TangIf you're drinkin' from me, the flavor's lemon meringueI'ma be me despite the shackles of the industryBump they last chancesGod engineers my circumstancesAnd heyI think I like thatHe's the one I confine inNever dealin' shady and lettin' the enemy slide inThis rap game is all I got to maintainIt keeps me sane in my lifeAfter mental(Chorus) 2X
