Grapes On A Vine (feat. Lil Wayne)

Grapes on a Vine - Betty Wright/The Roots/Lil Wayne

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 everyone woman

Who's been through the fire as well

We all got a story have a break to tell yeah

People they will judge you

'Cause they just can't comprehend

You're in it for the long ride

You don't just give up on a friend

Everyone has moved on gone

To where the sunshine long in time

We're still standing though some

May think we lost our minds

We share the field I'll let the seed divide

It's just that we're so different

Makes our place a little harder to find

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Might be bitter it gets better with time

Mama always said that it's okay to dream

Mama always warned me

Things ain't always what they seems

People they will judge you

Live you save lonely of shine

Remember it's a long ride

Just don't give up on yourself

And like everything

Who wants to make it's mine

We all got a secret hidden in our hearts yeah

People they will judge us

'Cause they just don't care to see

We're in it for the long ride

Just don't give up on you and me

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Might be bitter it gets better with time

Grapes on a wine ain't nothing sweet

You gotta pay the price

Just keep your receipt

I can make the world have a seat at my feet

And I come from New Orleans

Where the water too deep

Money brings problems the funny thing about it

Everybody want it want it till 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 right with me die hard

I got too much life in me shades on

I'm seeing past at

Bitter sweet wine where your glass at

Toast you haters all ghost

I make you all see

You need a full dose

And my mama told me do me

And stay away from that tree because

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Might be bitter it gets better with time

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Grapes on a vine don't always make sweet wine

Might be bitter
