RZA - Grits Lyrics
[Hook: Allah Real]
When I was small
We had nothing at all
We used to eat Grits, for dinner
It was pain
what we could find for
to survive another day
but I said nah...
[RZA]
An old killa bee once hummed me a tune
Stay up at night, don't sleep on ya moon
Four seeds in the bed, eight seeds in the room
Afternoon cartoon, we would fight for the spoon
Old Earth in the kitchen, yell "it's time to eat"
One pound box of sugar, and a stick of margarine
A hot pot of Grits got my family from starvin'
Loose with the welfare cheese, thick wit' the gravy
used to suck it, straight out the bottle as a baby
Steamy hot meal serve less than five minutes
Big silver pot, boilin' water, salt in it
House full of brothers and sisters, the pop's missin'
Pillsbury box on the stove in the kitchen
[Hook]
[Masta Killa]
Young shorties in my hood started hustlin'
Packin' bags at the neighbourhood associate
Growin' up, not as fortunate to have that fly shit
I'm too young, no jobs'd hire me legit
You walkin' down the street with ya gun in ya hand
Drinkin, thinkin' of a masterplan
Your Old Earth can't afford what ya friends got
So you roll up to the spot, with ya thing 'pon cock
And it seems worth the takin', stomach achin'
Morning star Reggie makin' go good with the Grits
Now let's take it back for real
when we used to build at ghetto big wheels
with the shoppin' cart wheels, and wood to nail the seat on
Girls skippin' rope in the street
the Summer heat, left the jelly prints stuck to they feet
Skelly chief, flippin' baseball cards for keeps
Momma said it's gettin' late, and it's time to come eat
[Hook]

I'm a metal head. But I was raised on folk and country western music. I love this song. It blends country/blues, folk, and rap.
Recently i came to the realization that all the rappers i like can also play their own institutions instead of just being/having record player players.
Tell personal stories, don't be generic.
They use to it bricks?
Just finish 2 episodes of the Hulu series. I love this group even more. Thank you RZA!!!

Sorry but im not familiar with the term grits,what is the meaning of it.
Inquering for the porpuse of knowledge.
And sorry for the bad english.
Grits is a grainy starchy hot corn cereal, similar to corn meal, farina/cream of wheat or porridge. Hominy Grits - is their actual name, crushed dried corn soaked in lye solution, dried, packaged & sold in grocery stores.
The actual processing with the chemical "Lye" (sodium hydroxide) I'm not sure how it is done (quite sure there is a Google search for that).
Grits is eaten with salt/pepper/butter/garlic/onions/gravy/cheese OR sugar/cinnamon.
Anyway, Grits is what a lot of USA Black People (& white southerners) eat as part of a cooked breakfast.
*Or as way to keep from starving as **_*"RZA"_* points out in this song.*

growing up poor makes this song hitt home
When I was small
We had nothing at all
We used to eat Grits, for dinner
It was pain
Almost drive a man insane
What we could find for
To survive another day
But I said nah
An old killa bee once hummed me a tune
Stay up at night, don't sleep on ya moon
Four seeds in the bed, eight seeds in the room
Afternoon cartoon, we would fight for the spoon
Old Earth in the kitchen, yell "it's time to eat"
Across the foyer, ya hear the gather of stampeding feet
One pound box of sugar, and a stick of margarine
A hot pot of Grits got my family from starvin'
Loose with the welfare cheese, thick wit' the gravy
Used to suck it, straight out the bottle as a baby
Steamy hot meal serve less than five minutes
Big silver pot, boilin' water, salt in it
House full of brothers and sisters, the pop's missin'
Pillsbury box on the stove in the kitchen
When I was small
We had nothing at all
We used to eat Grits, for dinner
It was pain
Young shorties in my hood started hustlin'
Packin' bags at the neighbourhood associate
Growin' up, not as fortunate to have that fly shit
I'm too young, no jobs'd hire me legit
You walkin' down the street with ya gun in ya hand
Drinkin, thinkin' of a masterplan
Your Old Earth can't afford what ya friends got
So you roll up to the spot, with ya thing 'pon cock
And it seems worth the takin', stomach achin'
Morning star Reggie makin' go good with the Grits
Now let's take it back for real
When we used to build at ghetto big wheels
With the shoppin' cart wheels, and wood to nail the seat on
Girls skippin' rope in the street
The Summer heat, left the jelly prints stuck to they feet
Skelly chief, flippin' baseball cards for keeps
Momma said it's gettin' late, and it's time to come eat
When I was small
We had nothing at all
We used to eat Grits, for dinner
It was pain
Almost drive a man insane
What we could find for
To survive another day
But I said nah
Across the floor. Lmao not foyer

Shit... sounds like my childhood.
+Felicia Mumper You're so lucky
This type of music lives forever. As someone said "all that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow"
God damn this songs touching the soul.

So underrated. This and Good Day by Ice Cube are two of my favorite songs to vibe to.
'you know how we do it' was my favourite
Cadillacs on 22s is somewhat similar, damn good jam as well.
Taylor Rock my 2 favorite songs I feel you
danm it!! i like it so much
