Arrested Development - Tennessee (The mix) lyrics

Lord I've really been real stressed Down and out, losing ground Although I am Black and proud Problems got me pessimistic Brothers and sisters keep messing 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 grandma's pa**ed, my brother's gone I never at once felt so alone I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel Not just my spare tire (home) But Lord I ask you (home) To be my guiding force and truth (home) For some strange reason it had to be (home) He guided me to Tennessee (home) Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand your plan Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand your plan Lord it's obvious we got a relationship Talkin' to each other every night and day Although you're superior over me We talk to each other in a friendship way Then outta nowhere you tell me to break Outta the country and into more country Past Dyesburg into Ripley Where the ghost of childhood haunts me Walk the roads my forefathers walked Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from Ask those trees for all their wisdom They tell me my ears are so young (home) Go back to from whence you came (home) My family tree, my family name (home) For some strange reason it had to be (home) He guided me to Tennessee (home) Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand your plan Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand your plan Eshe? She went down to Holly Springs Rasha Don and Baba? They went down to Peachtree Headliner, I challenge you to a game of horseshoes A game of horseshoes! Now I see the importance of history Why my people be in the mess that they be Many journeys to freedom made in vain My brothers on the corner playing ghetto games I ask you Lord why you enlightened me Without the enlightenment of all my folks He said 'cause I set myself on a quest for truth And you was there to quench my thirst But I am still thirsty... The Lord allowed me to drink some more He said what I am searching for Are the answers to all which are in front of me The ultimate truth started to get blurry For some strange reason it had to be It was all a dream about Tennessee Take me to another place (Home) Take me to another land (Home) Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand your plan Take me to another place (Home) Take me to another land (Home) Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand your plan Oh won't you let me Won't you help me Won't you help me understand you plan? Take me home Take me home Home Take me to another place Take me home Oh you know I need to go home, yeah Headliner? I won the game of horseshoes Now you owe me a watermelon Let's go climb trees and skip over rocks Do like they do below the border Hmm? Speech's hair? No it look like the roots of the tree my ancestors were hung from But that's okay, get it, 'cuz he's down to earth Tennessee Tennessee, Whoo! Yeah Tennessee Te-Tenness...
