Karaoké Tennessee Arrested Development

Lord I've really been real stressed

Down and out losing touch

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 gramma passed my brother's gone

I never at once felt so alone

I know you're supposed to be my spirit and will not just my spare tire

But Lord I ask You to be my guiding force in truth

For some strange reason it a had to be

He guided me to

Tennessee

Lord it's obvious we got a relationship

We're talkin' to each other every night and day

Although you're superior over me

We talk to each other in a friendship way

Then out of nowhere you tell me to break

Out of the country and into more conscious

Past Dodge but into Wrigley

Where the ghost of childhood haunts me

Walk the roads my forefathers walked

Climb the trees my forefathers hung from

Ask those trees for all their wisdom

They tell me my ears are so young

Go back to from whence you came

My family tree my family name

For some strange reason it had to be

He guided me to

Tennessee

Now I see the importance of history

Why my people be in the mess that they be

Many journeys to freedom made in pain

By brothers on the corner playin' ghetto games

I ask you Lord why you enlight me

Without the enlightenment of all my folks

He said 'cos I set myself on a quest for truth

And He was there to quench my thirst

But I am still thirsty

Lord allow 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 starting to get blurry

For some strange reason it a had to be

It was all a dream about Tennessee
