Grapes On A Vine |
| Daddy always told me to be real |
| Daddy always said that, I should say just what I feel |
| People, they will judge you cause they just don’t understand |
| You’re in it for the long ride, you don’t just give up on a man |
| And like every woman who’s been through the fire as well |
| We ALL got a story half afraid to tell, yeah |
| People they will judge you 'cause they just can’t comprehend |
| You’re headed for the long ride, you don’t just give up on a friend |
| (Now the ones have moved on) Gone to where the sun shines all the time |
| (We're still standing) Though some might think we’ve lost our minds |
| (We shall fulfill) our legacy divine |
| It’s just that we’re so different, makes our place a little harder to find |
| Grapes on a vine (Grapes on a vine) don’t always make sweet wine |
| Grapes on a vine, yeah, don’t always make sweet wine |
| Grapes on a vine (Grapes on a vine) don’t always make sweet wine |
| Might be bitter, but it gets better with time |
| Momma always said that, it’s okay to dream |
| Momma always warned me things ain’t always what they seem (and my momma told me. |
| People, they will judge you; |
| leave you sittin' on a shelf |
| Remember it’s a long ride, just don’t you give up on yourself |
| And like every man, who wants to make his mark |
| We ALL got a secret hidden in our hearts, yeah |
| People they will judge us, 'cause they just don’t really see |
| We’re in it for the long ride, just don’t you give up on you and me, no! |
| Uh, uh |
| Grapes on a vine, ain’t nuttin' sweet |
| You gotta pay the price, just keep your receipt |
| I can make the world have a seat on my feet |
| And I come from New Orleans where the water too deep |
| Money bring problems, the funny thang 'bout it |
| Everybody want it, want it 'til they got it |
| Sometimes I forget and put my trouble in my pockets |
| Then hang up my pants, now I got monsters in my closet |
| Get right with me, Miss Wright with me |
| Die hard, I got too much life in me |
| Shades on, I’m seein past that |
| Bittersweet wine, where your glass at? |
| Toast! |
| You haters are ghost |
| I make y’all sick, you need a full dose, ha! |
| And my momma told me do me |
| and stay away from that fruit tree, because. |
| So do you, do you, do yooooooooooou… |
| (Miss Wright with me) Be your own best friend |
| (Miss Wright with me) Be your own best friend |
| (Miss Wright with me, Miss Wright with me) Be your own best friend |
| (Miss Wright, Miss Wright, Miss Wright with me) |
| You gotta love on you before anybody else can learn to |
| You gotta love you, LOVE you, yeaaaaah, love you, love you |
