Bloody Love Letter - MF Grimm

Person 1: Yo, what’s up?

Person 2: Yo, what’s up?

Person 1: Yo, you heard what happened to Grimm?

Person 2: Nah, man, what happened?

Person 1: That nigga got shot

Baby, I don’t think I’m gonna

Make it, see, ‘cause mad guns was firing

I’m laying in the snow, and, yo, my lifeline’s expiring

I’m hurt bad, I’m coughing up some body parts

I didn’t know I had.

The Reaper Show, curtain closing

Laying in the snow frozen, manage internal damage

I’m panicking because I’m chosen.

All I want to know

And also ask that: who will take care of you?

Oh shit, I’m catching flashbacks.

Sorry we didn’t

Get to do the things I promised you, but I meant everything

And that’s the honest truth.

Laying in a pool

Of blood, and witnesses are scoping.

I’m feeling tired and

It’s 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.

I’m dripping on the paper, so

Excuse the bloody love letter

I’ll always love you (Love you)

There’s no one above you (Above you)

We had a lot of plans, yes, I know (Yes, I know)

But I think it’s time for me now to go (Now to go)

My life wasn’t all that nice (Nice)

So now it’s time for me to pay the price (Pay the price)

The last words written from the Grimm Reap' (From the Grimm Reap')

Before he greets his eternal sleep (Eternal sleep)

Never believed in God, but now, since I’m going

Second by the second, honey, spiritually I’m growing

As I pick a number and wait in line for resurrection

I’ll watch down over as your angel of protection

I would like to be in Heaven, but it’s up to the commissioner

The Devil is a slave driver, there’s no air conditioner

Almost made it to the promised land but I didn’t, never

Saw the movie Ghost, but, in a minute, I’ll be living in it

Gotta earn my wings, so animation is

Suspended.

To hold you again would be splendid

Seed never planted, I didn’t leave a mark

Where’d the lights go, yo?

‘Cause shit is getting dark

Not ready to die or the ride in a hearse

But I’m fading in and out, so I doubt there’ll be a third verse

I’m bleeding even more, so the paper’s getting

Redder and redder.

Excuse the bloody love letter

I’ll always love you (Always love you)

There’s no one above you (Above you)

We had a lot of plans, yes, I know (Yes, I know)

But I think it’s time for me now to go (Now to go)

My life wasn’t all that nice (Nice)

So now it’s time for me to pay the price (Pay the price)

The last words written from the Grimm Reap' (From the Grimm Reap')

Before he greets his eternal sleep (His eternal sleep)

It’s down to the point that, again, you’ll never see me

Name on the handball court written in graffiti

The coffin will be open ‘cause they didn’t touch my face

So kiss my moms on her cheek (Muah), and say I’m in a better place

Fate’s very funny ‘cause you don’t know where it takes you

And, for Pete’s sake too, don’t let this shit break you

I never though I’d die at twenty-three years old

But the cards wasn’t dealt right, so I have to fold

This is where the letter ends.

Not because

I’m dying, but the snow froze the ink in my pen

So, my dear, in your dreams I’ll 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

I’ll always love you (Always love you)

There’s no one above you (Above you)

We had a lot of plans, yes, I know (Yes, I know)

But I think it’s time for me now to go (Now to go)

My life wasn’t all that nice (Nice)

So now it’s time for me to pay the price (To pay the price)
