Fish N Grits Lyrics

Soul food it's so much more than a plate

Soul food it's a way to create

Soul food could be a deep conversation

Soul food can connect some generations

Soul food came from imagination

Soul food was born from innovation

Soul food survived discrimination

Soul food represents liberation

Fish n' grits on the stove, Kool Aid in the fridge

Damn I miss them summer days when I was just a lil kid

Pops cutting grass I was hooping in the backyard

Round '98 on 4906 Lakemont

Back when A.I. was my idol number 3 was like my trademark

I was shorter than the rest but got buckets cause I played smart

Not the teachers pet but I was always the favorite

Rockin' Dada's with the spinners cause I always had flavor

Back and forth with the shorties I always been a debater

Lunch dates during recess I was always a player

Hit the Boys and Girls Club wit my nigga Terrell

We always on a court somewhere giving 'em hell

I ain't seen him in a minute but I'm wishing em well

Back when was I trappin' candy, just to see if it sell

Collard greens on the stove when I pull up at the crib

Soul food been in my belly since I had on a bib

Soul food it's so much more than a plate

Soul food it's a way to create

Soul food could be a deep conversation

Soul food can connect some generations

Soul food came from imagination

Soul food was born from innovation

Soul food survived discrimination

Soul food represents liberation

Nigga what you know bout stewed chicken over rice

Having early Sunday dinners after church living right

You either inside or you out that's what my gramma would tell me

Catch me running everywhere causing trouble rebelling

My childhood was filled with Avon and Jeopardy

Judge Judy and Regis whole family watched collectively

Then I started learning it's okay to move separately

A tree got hella branches but the root is strong especially

I'm saying live ya life and chart ya own path

Remember where you started if you ever need come back

I been growing I been learning taking notes using thumbtacks

Facing all my fears moving on didn't want that

Riding through The Bull late on nights to get my head right

Pulled them late nights Cole Haan to get my bread right

Coulda owned the company but corporate won't for me

If we seeing eye to eye then maybe you can work with me

Feeling real inspired these days shoutout my nigga Quise

Used to hit the swish and pass it to my nigga Zeke

When my family kicked me out Duce held me down through it all

We all going up and can't forget my nigga Walt

Cookout at 2am to get the tray with french fries

Riding through the city late night ain't stop for red lights

Had the gas beside me hoping I ain't see no Fed lights

Bumping music in the whip just to get my head high

I was in the bull I used to ride out on the late night

Lit the city up I shine bright like them headlights

They know me in the city any spot I'll be straight

I got a homie that'll take you out but it's not a date

They know me all around but I don't know them they be fake

So only my days ones from the group chat get a plate

Soul food it's so much more than a plate

Soul food it's a way to create

Soul food could be a deep conversation

Soul food can connect somegenerations

Soul food came from imagination

Soul food was born from innovation

Soul food survived discrimination

Soul food represents liberation

When I was in The Bull, I used to ride off on the late night

Lit the city up shined bright like a headlight

Got a lot going on just trynna keep my head tight

Riding through the city late at night ain't stop for red lights

Nah late at night ain't stop for red lights

Had the gas beside me hoping I ain't see no Fed lights
