[Intro: Skit]
Person 1: Yo, whatās up?
Person 2: Yo, whatās up?
Person 1: Yo, you heard what happened to Grimm?
Person 2: Nah, man, what happened?
Person 1: That n***a got shot
[Verse 1: MF Grimm]
Baby, I donāt think Iām gonna
Make it, see, ācause mad guns was firing
Iām laying in the snow, and, yo, my lifelineās expiring
Iām hurt bad, Iām coughing up some body parts
I didnāt know I had. The Reaper Show, curtain closing
Laying in the snow frozen, manage internal damage
Iām panicking because Iām chosen. All I want to know
And also ask that: who will take care of you?
Oh shit, Iām catching flashbacks. Sorry we didnāt
Get to do the things I promised you, but I meant everything
And thatās the honest truth. Laying in a pool
Of blood, and witnesses are scoping. Iām feeling tired and
Itās hard to keep my eyes open. I would sell my soul
To be with you again, but it must end
Due to jealousy of black men. Life is blunt
Death is sharp as a blade. I hope you meet another love
And all the pain will fade. You might feel the pain now
But things will get better. Iām dripping on the paper, so
Excuse the bloody love letter
[Hook: MF Grimm]
Iāll always love you (Love you)
Thereās no one above you (Above you)
We had a lot of plans, yes, I know (Yes, I know)
But I think itās time for me now to go (Now to go)
My life wasnāt all that nice (Nice)
So now itās time for me to pay the price (Pay the price)
The last words written from the Grimm Reapā (From the Grimm Reapā)
Before he greets his eternal sleep (Eternal sleep)
[Verse 2: MF Grimm]
Never believed in God, but now, since Iām going
Second by the second, honey, spiritually Iām growing
As I pick a number and wait in line for resurrection
Iāll watch down over as your angel of protection
I would like to be in Heaven, but itās up to the commissioner
The Devil is a slave driver, thereās no air conditioner
Almost made it to the promised land but I didnāt, never
Saw the movie Ghost, but, in a minute, Iāll be living in it
Gotta earn my wings, so animation is
Suspended. To hold you again would be splendid
Seed never planted, I didnāt leave a mark
Whereād the lights go, yo? āCause shit is getting dark
Not ready to die or the ride in a hearse
But Iām fading in and out, so I doubt thereāll be a third verse
Iām bleeding even more, so the paperās getting
Redder and redder. Excuse the bloody love letter
[Hook: MF Grimm]
Iāll always love you (Always love you)
Thereās no one above you (Above you)
We had a lot of plans, yes, I know (Yes, I know)
But I think itās time for me now to go (Now to go)
My life wasnāt all that nice (Nice)
So now itās time for me to pay the price (Pay the price)
The last words written from the Grimm Reapā (From the Grimm Reapā)
Before he greets his eternal sleep (His eternal sleep)
[Verse 3: MF Grimm]
Itās down to the point that, again, youāll never see me
Name on the handball court written in graffiti
The coffin will be open ācause they didnāt touch my face
So kiss my moms on her cheek (Muah), and say Iām in a better place
Fateās very funny ācause you donāt know where it takes you
And, for Peteās sake too, donāt let this shit break you
I never though Iād die at twenty-three years old
But the cards wasnāt dealt right, so I have to fold
This is where the letter ends. Not because
Iām dying, but the snow froze the ink in my pen
So, my dear, in your dreams Iāll appear. With accu-
-rate precision, all the visions in your head will be clear
So never lose this letter (Never), cherish it
Forever (Ever), but P.S. Excuse the blood smear
[Hook: MF Grimm]
Iāll always love you (Always love you)
Thereās no one above you (Above you)
We had a lot of plans, yes, I know (Yes, I know)
But I think itās time for me now to go (Now to go)
My life wasnāt all that nice (Nice)
So now itās time for me to pay the price (To pay the price)
