[Intro: Betty Wright]
|
Ooooh (Oh, oh, oh)
|
Mmmmm (oh, oh)
|
Oh (Oh, oh)
|
Ohhhh-whoa
|
(Oh...oh-oh...)
|
|
[Betty Wright]
|
Daddy always told me to be real
|
Daddy always said that, I should say just what I feel
|
People, they will judge you cause they just don't understand
|
You're in it for the long ride, you don't just give up on a man
|
And like every woman who's been through the fire as well
|
We ALL got a story half afraid to tell, yeah
|
People they will judge you 'cause they just can't comprehend
|
You're headed for the long ride, you don't just give up on a friend
|
|
[Pre-Chorus Bridge]
|
(Now the ones have moved on) Gone to where the sun shines all the time
|
(We're still standing) Though some might think we've lost our minds
|
(We shall fulfill) our legacy divine
|
It's just that we're so different, makes our place a little harder to find
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Grapes on a vine (Grapes on a vine) don't always make sweet wine
|
Grapes on a vine, yeah, don't always make sweet wine
|
Grapes on a vine (Grapes on a vine) don't always make sweet wine
|
Might be bitter, but it gets better with time
|
|
[Betty Wright (Lil Wayne)]
|
Momma always said that, it's okay to dream
|
Momma always warned me things ain't always what they seem (and my momma told me...)
|
People, they will judge you; leave you sittin' on a shelf
|
Remember it's a long ride, just don't you give up on yourself
|
And like every man, who wants to make his mark
|
We ALL got a secret hidden in our hearts, yeah {We all got a secret}
|
People they will judge us, 'cause they just don't really see
|
We're in it for the long ride, just don't you give up on you and me, no!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Lil Wayne]
|
Uh, uh
|
Grapes on a vine, ain't nuttin' sweet
|
You gotta pay the price, just keep your receipt
|
I can make the world have a seat on my feet
|
And I come from New Orleans where the water too deep
|
Money bring problems, the funny thang 'bout it
|
Everybody want it, want it 'til they got it
|
Sometimes I forget and put my trouble in my pockets
|
Then hang up my pants, now I got monsters in my closet
|
Get right with me, Miss Wright with me
|
Die hard, I got too much life in me
|
Shades on, I'm seein past that
|
Bittersweet wine, where your glass at?
|
Toast! You haters are ghost
|
I make y'all sick, you need a full dose, ha!
|
And my momma told me do me
|
and stay away from that fruit tree, because..
|
|
[Chorus 2X]
|
|
[Outro (Lil Wayne)]
|
{Do you, do you}
|
So do you, do you, do yooooooooooou...
|
(Miss Wright with me) Be your own best friend
|
(Miss Wright with me) Be your own best friend
|
(Miss Wright with me, Miss Wright with me) Be your own best friend
|
(Miss Wright, Miss Wright, Miss Wright with me)
|
You gotta love on you before anybody else can learn to
|
You gotta love you, LOVE you, yeaaaaah, love you, love you
|
