    Lyrics:
    [Chorus]
    Scars and memories, Memories and scars, I look up in the sky and I wonder where you are.
    Can't nobody diss my nigga, Damn, I miss my nigga.
    Memories and scars, Scars and memories, talk to me kid cause I need some guidance please.
    Can't nobody diss my nigga, Damn, I miss my nigga.
    Scars and memories, Memories and scars, I look up in the sky and I wonder where you are.
    Can't nobody diss my nigga, Damn, I miss my nigga.
    [Grimm]I'm writing this letter from Lenox Hill Hospital. I'm so sorry, that I missed your funeral, but silhouettes of you are trapped inside my head, as I lay in ICU hangin on wishin I was dead. Tryin to convince someone to pull the plug and let it end, I lost my best friend, plus I'll never walk again. Now that you're gone, it really don't matter. Becomin a star, becomin a superstar. God threw rocks at my glass heart and it shattered, I look up in the sky and I wonder where you are. Cryin like a baby, starin atcha pictcha(picture), I'm mad at the world kid, I'm wishin I was witcha. The world is on my shoulders now the weight is kinda heavy, I loved my little shorty but my little shorty left me. In a few minutes time, with the help of a nine, I went from king of the rhymes to the victim of crime. I gotta stop, and wipe my tears G. Ayo J, respond, let me know you hear me.
    [Chorus]
    [J.Black] You will walk again, J. Black won't letcha down. As for rap, represent, and snatch the fuckin crown. Fuck(?) most these rappers, know they're not your friends, so don't wait for no rally(?), bring the noise straight to them. I don't give a damn if the nigga is ya idol, implant in his head that he better think survival. I don't give a fuck about his crew or the fame, each one of them niggas step to them and blow em off the frame.
    [Grimm] But J I want the days, when we were just chillin, ridin around in cars, dressin nice, and countin millions.
    [J. Black] Those days are over for us so understand, you my man, but it's time to step forward and represent the fam. Like I'm Jesus Christ, I'm payin for our sins. Take these niggas to war for me, let the games begin. I want you off the street cause the street is not the move(?). Don't let me die for nothin, test your skills, show and prove. Niggas think they ill, but show em you are iller. In the past yo we killed but wasn't raised to be no killers. Money and murder's hand in hand, it goes with territory. Manhattan war stories, what a price to pay for glory. Cash Rules...
    [Both] Everything around us
    [Grimm] But everyone around us is not down with us, they front, (?) surround us. There's jealousy, envy, niggas wanna hurt me, I can't move my legs, J so that shit just hurts me. Right now I'd be better off dyin G. I don't think that I can function in society, cause I paid the cost, you paid the cost, the family paid the cost, and now I'm feelin lost. Because you went away, and now my skies are gray, I don't know what to feel, I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do, I need you to impinge. My life is like a door, hanging off the hinge. I try to improvise, and go with the flow, but to my surprise, the flow is so slow. I'm really confused, advice you have to give, I'm not afraid to die but right now I'm afraid to live.
    [Chorus]
    [Grimm] I don't know my title so I'm a little sad man. What's the difference between a genious and a madman?
    [J. Black] A genious is exceptional, he breaks down the whole. Mad men are not (?), they do have a goal. To be a genious or a madman is in your mind...
    [Grimm] But is it possible for the two to intertwine?
    [J. Black] Yes, when a genious uses poems(?) just to focus on crime, greed, or make nuclear bombs all the time.
    [Grimm]In this materialistic world is there any kind of hope? (Nope) Will Catholics ever have a black Pope? I write rhymes like Riddler, list them like Schindler, alot of religious figures on this planet are just swindlers.
    [J. Black] What do you see?
    [Grimm] Sight beyond sight, those of twilight, the afterlife, a new world is what I'd like.
    [J. Black] You don't like Commandments but just do them.
    [Grimm] Aiight, but when you talk to God again could you give these questions to him?
    [J. Black] They can't be too long, cause he's a busy man, so tell me about six, and I'll relay em if I can.
    [Grimm] God, (one) Why's my mighty nation lost? (two) Why'd you let Jesus Christ be put on the cross? (three) Why's my people poor and oh so sore? (aiight) In harlem all I see is funeral homes and liquor stores. (four) Why'd you let the Indians get used and abused? (five) Why'd you let Hitler crucify all the jews? (aiight) some races will never see the best outta life, (true) it's like you made a big ass test outta life. I got love for you God, but could you explain to me (six) why you took my legs and J and dished out so much pain to me?
    [J. Black] Don't stress it, kid. It's life, and not even death can seperate the love.

    Dedicated to his brother in law who was shot the same time MF GRIMM was almost shot to death aswell, he is now paraplegic (unfortunately) this track also referenced to MF DOOM'S brother named Subroc, he unfortunately died tragically at a young age. Now this track relates so hard to MF DOOM himself.

    He's one of my favorite rappers. I actually got to meet him across the street from the amoeba store in hollywood and he's got to be one of the coolest and humblest people you'll ever meet. I mean if your familiar with his music you'll know he always preaches about life due to his experiences and tribulations that he went through. If you don't know about this dude, don't sleep and check his stuff out.

  • @TemisanAdoki
    @TemisanAdoki 13 лет назад +3

    Pure raw emotion. I've been listening to this song for almost 10 years and it still finds a way to hit my in the chest. Listening to this now makes me think about all the tough times in my life, the years gone by, and all the people in my life that aren't here right now. MF Grimm really laid his soul out on this track and it's so evident. If you can't feel that, then I don't know what to tell.
