MF Grimm - "Way Beyond a Simple Rhyme"
[Emcee(s): MF Grimm
[Producer(s): MF Grimm
Used to hate here, wanted to leave here
Couldn't see this far, surprised to be here
Ball drops again, seen another year
I'm thankful for my life 'cause you could have took it
Learned the difference between life and death
What separate the two is one breath
Take a deep one before you exhale
I'm thankful for my life 'cause you could have took it
Came to shoot me, execute me
Persecute me, "Percy must die"
Take me to you, but you stopped it
You saved my life because you know they could have took it
Instrumental death always prevailed
Whether a gun, knife, or harsh words
I mimic the songs of the caged bird
To me, this is way beyond a simple rhyme
Way beyond a simple rhyme
I'm a rich man because I'm blessed
Escaped purgatory—that was one test
The hate that burned in me must rest
I'm thankful for my life 'cause you could have took it
Life is painful, I'm the expert
Tears were digital, prison did hurt
People miss message, hated artwork
I'm thankful for my life 'cause you could have took it
Fighting C.O.'s, I get beat down
Take my chair, make me crawl around
Couldn't break me—how you like me now?
You saved my life because you know they could have took it
Let me rise up, let my wings flap
I fell to earth once the guns clapped
Learned my lesson, let me come back
To me, this is way beyond a simple rhyme
Way beyond a simple rhyme
Over matter, focus my mind
Darkness cloaked me, shadowed my spine
On my face, I feel the sunshine
I'm thankful for my life 'cause you could have took it
Day by day, I wrestle with thoughts
Thinking of street wars that we fought
So many died in our bloodsport
I'm thankful for my life 'cause you could have took it
Please forgive me for trading places
For coming up, murdering, not leaving traces
Found innocent, beating cases
You blessed me. Even though that life, you knew I took it
Scars and memories—how much can I take?
Demons choke me in my dream state
I don't sleep for days, I stay awake
To me, this is way beyond a simple rhyme
Way beyond a simple rhyme
