Tennessee - Ameritz Top Tributes[00:00:00]

Written by：T. Thomas/A. T. Jones[00:00:01]

Lord I've really been real stressed[00:00:16]

Down and out losing ground[00:00:18]

Although I am Black and proud[00:00:21]

Problems got me pessimistic[00:00:23]

Brothers and sisters keep messing up[00:00:26]

Why does it have to be so damn tough[00:00:28]

I don't know where I can go[00:00:30]

To let these ghosts out of my skull[00:00:33]

My grandma's passed my brother's gone[00:00:35]

I never at once felt so alone[00:00:37]

I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel[00:00:40]

Not just my spare tire home[00:00:42]

But Lord I ask you home[00:00:45]

To be my guiding force and truth home[00:00:47]

For some strange reason it had to be home[00:00:50]

He guided me to Tennessee home[00:00:52]

Lord it's obvious we got a relationship[00:01:14]

Talking to each other every night and day[00:01:16]

Although you're superior over me[00:01:18]

We talk to each other in a friendship way[00:01:21]

Then outta nowhere you tell me to break[00:01:23]

Outta the country and into more country[00:01:26]

Past Dyersburg into Ripley[00:01:28]

Where the ghost of childhood haunts me[00:01:30]

Walk the roads my forefathers walked[00:01:33]

Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from[00:01:35]

Ask those trees for all their wisdom[00:01:38]

They tell me my ears are so young home[00:01:40]

Go back to from whence you came home[00:01:43]

My family tree my family name home[00:01:45]

For some strange reason it had to be home[00:01:47]

He guided me to Tennessee home[00:01:50]

Eshe she went down to Holly Springs[00:02:13]

Rasadon and Baba they went down to Peachtree[00:02:15]

Headliner I challenge you to a game of horseshoes a game of horseshoes[00:02:18]

Now I see the importance of history[00:02:21]

Why my people be in the mess that they be[00:02:23]

Many journeys to freedom made in vain[00:02:26]

By brothers on the corner playing ghetto games[00:02:28]

I ask you Lord why you enlightened me[00:02:31]

Without the enlightment of all my folks[00:02:33]

He said cause I set myself on a quest for truth[00:02:35]

And he was there to quench my thirst[00:02:38]

But I am still thirsty[00:02:41]

The Lord allowed me to drink some more[00:02:45]

He said what I am searching for are[00:02:47]

The answers to all which are in front of me[00:02:50]

The ultimate truth started to get blurry[00:02:52]

For some strange reason it had to be[00:02:54]

It was all a dream about Tennessee[00:02:57]
