Simile Analysis

Ooh Ahh Lyrics by Grits
My life be like
Ooh ahh yea ooh oooh
My life be like
Ooh ahh yea ooh oooh
Ooh ahh yea ooh oooh
My life be like
Ooh ahh yea ooh oooh
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Trying not to quench your fire by the things that I do
On an island by my lonesome stranded
Low key and stayin' candid
Reflect on all the things I try my hand at
Search for the equations to persuasions
Im used to
Finding comfort in the zones of closet bones
I get loose to
A mountainous fontaine
Spinnin' and monsoonin'
Grinnin' its high octane
Explosive how I came
Rollin down hills cause lifes a hastle
Enriched by my folly like a moat surround a castle
Stay afloat catch a second wind
Thin is the air I breathe
Teary eyed nose runnin'
Wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm calling on my saviour
To be all that hat I need
Please forgive me
My behaviour had me lost at light speed
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Trying not to quench your fire by the things that I do
The fear of never falling in love
And the tears after losing the feelings
Of what you thought love was
Like the dirt still up under the rug
Bad characteristics
Covered in christ's blood
The joy of new birth
And the pain of growing up
The bliss between giving my all
And giving up
The highs and lows
Paths and roads I chose
In the cold I froze
Trying to ease my woes
In this world of sin
Clothes to thin to fend
So to god I send
Words of help to win
In grumblings so deep
Letters could never express
So the sound of ooh aah
Beneath my breath projects
My life be like
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Trying not to quench your fire by the things that I do
My life be like ooh aah ooh
Come young diti
Here comes that boy from the capital city
Last up on the Grits new diti
But eight bars of the truth will do, eh
I believe there's a bride thats stunning
And, I believe in the kingdom coming
I believe if you seek the truth,
You don't need to look far cuz' it's gonna find you
But why oh why do I trip and stumble
And ohh ahh's can make me crumble
I can't believe that I'm here again Again, again
My life be like
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Trying not to quench your fire by the things that I do (x2)

This song is called Ooh ahh by Grits. It fits into my theme and genre because it is a rap song about the struggles he has with love and getting by in life. He is asking the Lord to help him because he is not doing as well in life as he would like to. One of the simile's that is used is "Feel me like a fingertip". This, to me, means that he is able to feel that the Lord is near him even though he is unable to touch him, like you would with your fingers. Another simile is,
"Of what you thought love was Like the dirt still up under the rug". This means that he thought that he was in love because they were together for so long like dirt under a rug. Also, they swept all of their problems that they had under the rug, which lead to heartbreak. Finally the last simile in this song is, "Enriched by my folly like a moat surround a castle". This means that he was very foolish in the things that he did and he compares it to a moat around a castle because it is not intelligent to have water surrounding a castle. This is not intelligent because if the enemy that is on the outside of the castle gets in, it is hard for either of them to escape the castle since there is only one exit. Overall, Grits is very talented in the way he uses similes in this song.
