[Intro: MF Grimm]
This was the only rhyme I was supposed to write that never should have happened. This never should have existed

[Verse 1: MF Grimm]
I don’t know where to start. You were my heart
You walked into the light, now I’m sitting in the dark
I was locked inside the box before I even knew
An angel paid me a visit, he resembled you
He never said a word, glared, disappeared
It was weird. Got on the phone, had a fear
Something wasn’t right. What was the meaning of the sign?
Found out you died
All I could do was cry ‘cause I was up in prison
Praying to The Creator that you were still living
And this was a dream. Grabbed my skin, I’m pinching
Pinching so hard, off the skin is ripping
Reality is slipping away from me
Gone was he, now I fiend
I had to think of something in a fast way to
Block out today
[Hook: MF Grimm]
It was
Like yesterday. We were both kids in that
Playground (Just you and me). Now I would give up
Anything for us back inside
That playground (Just you and me). It was
Like yesterday. We were both kids in that
Playground (Just you and me). Now I would give up
Anything for us back inside
That playground. Can we go back to yesterday?

[Verse 2: MF Grimm]
Released from prison, no longer a slave
I hear you calling me right from your grave
I need your energy, the spot you’re buried’s where I lay
As we switch dimensions, the things to me you say:
Plan for my future, but take it Day By Day
Yeah, they had to shoot you in such a coward’s way
When they shot you in the back, they took your life like that
They also killed me
Once again, I’ll resurrect. On your grave is growing grass
I’ma be that star you want and get this fucking cash
The Benzes and the Jags. To my people, be so helpful
The best weapon for me right now is be successful
Music is a drug, distribution is the game, inter-
-national’s the rules, still want the money, fuck the fame. Grab
Beats from J. Marty, the studio is paid just to
Block out today
[Hook: MF Grimm]
It was

Playground (Just you and me). Now I would give up

That playground (Just you and me). It was

Playground (Just you and me). Now I would give up
Anything for us back inside
That playground. Can we go back to yesterday?

[Outro: MF Grimm]
(Just you and me) We did it. We’re here. You know it. We waited a long time for this. We’re gonna do everything we said we’re gonna do. Ain’t shit gonna stop us. Fuck ‘em all. Fuck ‘em all. Not even death can separate the love—you know that. We knew that from beginning. That’s right. That’s right
