Tennessee |
| Lord I’ve really been real stressed |
| Down and out, losin ground |
| Although I am black and proud |
| Problems got me pessimistic |
| Brothers and sisters keep messin up Why does it have to be so damn tough? |
| I don’t know where I can go To let these ghosts out of my skull |
| My grandma past, my brothers gone |
| I never at once felt so alone |
| I know you’re supposed to be my steering wheel |
| Not just my spare tire (home) |
| But lord I ask you (home) |
| To be my guiding force and truth (home) |
| For some strange reason it had to be (home) |
| He guided me to Tennessee (home) |
| (Chorus x2) Take me to another place |
| Take me to another land |
| Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand your plan |
| Lord it’s obvious we got a relationship |
| Talkin to each other every night and day |
| Although you’re superior over me We talk to each other in a friendship way |
| Then outta nowhere you tell me to break |
| Outta the country and into more country |
| Past Dyesburg into Ripley |
| Where the ghost of childhood haunts me Walk the roads my forefathers walked |
| Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from |
| Ask those trees for all their wisdom |
| They tell me my ears are so young (home) |
| Go back to from whence you came (home) |
| My family tree my family name (home) |
| For some strange reason it had to be (home) |
| He guided me to Tennessee (home) |
| Chorus x2 |
| Teshee? |
| She went down to Hollis Springs |
| Rising bobber? |
| He went down to peace street |
| Headliner? |
| I challenged him to a game of horseshoes |
| I gave him a horeshoe |
| Now I see the importance of history |
| Why my people be in the mess that they be Many journeys to freedom made in vain |
| By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games |
| I ask you lord why you enlightened me Without the enlightment of all my folks |
| He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth |
| And he was there to quench my thirst |
| But I am still thirsty… |
| The lord allowed me to drink some more |
| He said what I am searchin for are |
| The answers to all which are in front of me The ultimate truth started to get blurry |
| For some strange reason it had to be It was all a dream about Tennessee |
| Chorus x2 (Ohhhh) |
| Wont let me Wont you help me Wont you help me Tell me how |
| Tell me how |
| How |
| Take me To another place |
| Take me home |
| Woahhhh |
| Now I need to go home |
| Woahhhh |
| Yeahhhh |
| Tennessee |
| I dont want a horseshoe now I want a watermelon |
| Lets go climb trees |
| Screechers hair? |
| It looks like a turkey right? |
| Tennessee? |
| Tennessee |
