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
BE MESSIN' UP
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE
SO DAMN TOUGH
I DON'T KNOW
WHERE I CAN GO
TO LIFT THESE GHOSTS
OUT OF MY SKULL
GRANDMA PASSED
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
BUT LORD I ASK YOU
TO BE MY GUIDING
FORCE AND TRUTH
FOR SOME STRANGE
REASON IT HAD TO BE
HE GUIDED ME TO
TENNESSEE
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 DYERSBURG
INTO RIPLEY
WHERE THE GHOST OF
CHILDHOOD HAUNTS ME
WALK THE ROADS MY
FOREFATHERS WALKED
CLIMB THE TREES MY
FOREFATHERS
HUNG FROM
ASK THOSE TREES FOR
ALL THEIR WISDOM
THEY TELL ME MY EARS
ARE SO YOUNG
GO BACK TO FROM
WHENCE YOU CAME
MY FAMILY TREE
MY FAMILY NAME
FOR SOME STRANGE
REASON IT HAD TO BE
HE GUIDED ME TO
TENNESSEE
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
NOW I SEE THE
IMPORTANCE OF
HISTORY
WHY MY PEOPLE BE
IN THE MESS
THAT THEY BE
MANY JOURNEYS TO
FREEDOM MADE IN VAIN
BY BROTHERS ON
THE CORNER PLAYIN'
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 HE 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
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
