    My grandparents had guardianship until I was 12
    Starting when? And why? I assume it was because of your mother's drug problems, but why did your grandparents become your guardians, rather than your father? By the way, I will assume that there was a court order giving your grandparents guardianship and that the guardianship was terminated by an order of the court, but you should confirm those things.

    my dad decided even though he wasnt involved at the time to take custody of me because my grandparents live in Tennessee and technically grandparents have no rights in Tennessee.
    Even if I interpret your statement about grandparents "hav[ing] no rights in Tennessee" to mean that grandparents have no rights regarding their grandchildren in the absence of a court order that says otherwise (something that is true in all states), that's a bizarre reason for an uninvolved father to become involved.

    Since he took custody of me, he is never involved with me. He and my stepmom got divorced and she has my siblings with her.
    I assume you're talking about half-siblings.

    I want to see how I could go back to my grandparents.
    The first thing to do is speak with your father to see if he'd be willing to allow you live with your grandparents (and, obviously, you'd need to speak with your grandparents to see if they'd be willing to have you live with them). If your father isn't willing, then your grandparents will have to decide whether it's worth it to spend their resources on seeking a guardianship over your father's objection.

    We were supposed to go to court this month but my dad lies and says stuff is wrong when it isnt then we cant ever go to court.
    Not really sure what the second part of this means. As for the first part, "go to court" for what purpose?

    Can I get emancipated
    Not without at least your parents' permission and a demonstrable ability to support yourself without assistance from anyone else.

    My dad and me are constantly fighting
    Unless you're talking about physical fights (in which case you should call the police and/or the local child protective services authority), it takes two to tango. If you don't want to fight with your father, then don't do it. Teens all over the country "fight" with their parents every day. And yes, I know I don't know the whole story, but I can only comment based on the limited information you choose to share.
