MF Grimm - āStill My Loveā
[Emcee(s): MF Grimm]
[Producer(s): The Architech]
[Intro: Sample from MF DOOM & MF Grimm - āMy Loveā]
One by one, bitch n***as get served as I
Touch nerves with these Special Herbs
[Hook: MF Grimm]
For my n***as in the
Street, I give (love). For my n***as locked
Up, I give (love). For the sisters in the
Struggle, I give (love). This is all
My (love) transformed through beats. In the
Street, I give (love). For my n***as locked
Up, I give (love). For the sisters in the
Struggle, I give (love). This is all
My (love) transformed through beats
[Verse 1: MF Grimm]
One by one, bitch n***as get served as I
Touch nerves with those Special Herbs
Now seasoned by The Architech, spiced up the words
Streets move fast, so everything is blurred
Give streets my love, I canāt forget you
Those who supported me, be nothing without you
The best of times, the worst of times
Scars & Memories travel Percā through time
Before a n***a made a dime, before a n***a rhymed
Watched people in the street from the bottom climb
They went after what they wanted, hunger didnāt stop
Defied all the odds and made it to the top
Some didnāt get the chance, murdered real young
Died over bullshit, others got strung
Forgot they were king and queens, crack touched lungs
Some fought law, but law still won
Streets is a movie, new actors want a role
Crackheads, heads cracked, pack of crack stole
Some stay in streets too long, took a toll
Couldnāt do the time, switched, became a mole
[Hook: MF Grimm]
For my n***as in the
Street, I give (love). For my n***as locked
Up, I give (love). For the sisters in the
Struggle, I give (love). This is all
My (love) transformed through beats. In the
Street, I give (love). For my n***as locked
Up, I give (love). For the sisters in the
Struggle, I give (love). This is all
My (love) transformed through beats
[Verse 2: MF Grimm]
Seconds go by, Iām starting to feel my age
Scars, thirty-five of āem, four stars later
Still in trenches, canāt help itāIām a leader
Weight on shoulders, load aināt getting lighter
Family suffer, squat to lift burden
Got good grip, but legs are trembling
Focus on chi, meditate, settle in
Brace self, good times Iām remembering
Life was easy carried in mommaās arms
Difficult older, momma know I carry arms
Her sonās a fighter, momma know I carry on
Paralyzed, but momma know I carry on
Percyāll be a billionaire, believe Mr. Careyās on
I canāt rest. I guess Iāll do it when Iām gone
Hold back my dreamsāon this planet, thereās none
To show the streets that it can be done ācause
[Hook: MF Grimm]
For my n***as in the
Street, I give (love). For my n***as locked
Up, I give (love). For the sisters in the
Struggle, I give (love). This is all
My (love) transformed through beats. In the
Street, I give (love). For my n***as locked
Up, I give (love). For the sisters in the
Struggle, I give (love). This is all
My (love) transformed through beats
[Verse 3: MF Grimm]
Women with beautiful looks got them far
Got them a hustler, a ghetto street star
Got them jewelry, got them cars
And got some killed and put behind bars
Put in situations they donāt want to be in
Sisters locked down, my heart for you is bleeding
Little kids watch street life and was shown
Tried it on their own, got murdered like theyāre grown
Others got a hundred years, whole life blown
Feeling like a fool, shouldāve stayed their ass in school
A few did make it, but most got shot
The School of Hard Knocks, from you I learned a lot, so
(Thank you)
[Outro: MF Grimm]
Love. Love. Love (transformed through beats). Love. Love. Love. Love (transformed through beats). Thatās the end
