Grieves - Half Empty Lyrics






I swear to god that sometimes
I feel my life is going blah
From the women I wake up to
To the substance in my rhymes
And I've abused the truth by telling myself everythings fine
With all that negativity I'm ignoring, steadily climbed
And undescribed
But hell I know that I'm not perfect
God knows I can't keep a girlfriend
'Cause all of my problems surface
They feel I don't deserve 'em
'Cause their friends say that I'm worthless
Unappropriately portrayed in my words
And what about my music
Haven't been making it lately
The way that I view haven't been positive
Missing the fact that it's human to get confused
I bleed and bruise like all the rest of you
But verbalize my bloo inhale the punches love has thrown at me
And breathe it out my lungs like...
And this all has been a mess
I replaced the things I love and ripped my heart out of my chest like...
And I'm not so concerned with why
I'm just here to count the minutes till tomorrows sun can rise
Listen...

How many times do you have to wake up to stop dreaming
And I wrap my love notes in dust but never read 'em
Many times I just try to give up to stop leaving you
I have my heart broke and busted
Most of it's been crushed but I blame it on myself

'Cause in the morning I don't see the right reflection
That foggy mirror after my shower, I see rejection
And I'm not saying I'm depressed
Seems to be a common theme today
These children try to hate themselves
But don't know why they feel that way
I got a real path paved and it's been crazy
In a month I almost had the clap and possibly a baby
Relocated places credit companies chasin me
And new age taking on in it's efficient pile of changes
And I hate it 'cause it's all so uncontrollable
Losing myself inside this broken emotion of no one knows
What's the point of ever falling in love
I find it's more about the pain than it ever was about trust
Find it's more about breaking chains and being confound there that it rusts
Found that love is just a test to most of us who've given up
But if you think of it logistically
Then love is open eye
'Cause it's everywhere you look
And it's in every scar you hide

How many times do you have to wake up to stop dreaming
And I wrap my love notes in dust but never read 'em
Many times I just try to give up to stop leaving you
I have my heart broke and busted
Most of it's been crushed but I blame it on myself

    “‪I know that I’m not perfect‬

  4. J.... B....

    i dont get how someone could not fall in love with him. hes got the dopest beats and always finds the perfect way to put feelings and thoughts we all can relate to into words. the fact that he can sing on top of it makes me love this guys music even more

  5. S.... H....

    "these children try to hate themselves but dont know why they feel that way."

  24. M.... M....

  25. p.... ....

  31. C.... S....

    he needs better flow

  32. M.... W....

    I don't know what You've been listening to but my suggestions are Serengeti, Atmosphere, Why? and Lots of Grieves.

  33. S.... I....

    I must have an instrumental.

  34. A.... J....

    not fucking atmosphere... -_-

  35. K.... F....

    this boy is god damn poetry

  36. J.... B....

    Get her riner let her know the real lol.

  37. r.... r....

    This isnt atmosphere Dumb Bitch!

  38. J.... P....

    Same here :)
    Which is awesome, Atmosphere is the shit.

  39. l.... w....

    maybe the opportunist just seen a space to fill..

  40. I.... ....

    Dear pessimist and optimist, while you were arguing about the glass, I drank it!

    -The Opportunist

    I.... ....

    You know it’s full of fluoride which solidifies the brain right?
    - The conspiracy theorist.

  41. V.... T....

    i want a big black cock in my ass tonight(;

    V.... T....

    try a white one you wont be left with a kid to raise by urself..if ur ever in chico cali ill give u one

  42. M.... ....

    Ye but when grieves talk about sex, drugs and drinking it is relevant to something he talks about and not just a stupid fill-in lyric like other rappers use it as

  43. T.... ....

    This.
    Only other thing in my suggestions besides Grieves, is Atmosphere.

  44. R.... W....

    It is in the suggestion bar because YouTube suggests things that you listen to. Stop listening to that crap and it won't show up. I am proud to say mine is Mac Miller-less. :)

  45. K.... ....

    Add: Blue Scholars, Sol

  46. D.... L....

    Mac Miller, Wiz, Drake, Lil' Wayne need to take notes of this guy.

  47. P.... ....

    this dude doesn't just rap... he sings, and he sings very, very well. most rappers sound hilarious when they try to sing, this dude is a natural in transition. love grieves.

  48. P.... ....

    Mac who?

  49. M.... M....

    So Grieves is a bad rapper/singer because he doesn't constantly use slang, improper grammar, and bad rhyming? Unlike Lil Wayne, Kanye, and all those other 2011 to2013 rappers, grieves music isn't just about sex, drugs, drinking, and dancing. So don't go around hating other people's music choices when most rappers today, frankly suck.

  50. A.... ....

    Sugestion bar: Grieves(x20), Macklemore, Dangermouse, Common Market, Eligh

  51. X.... M....

    Like his song says, he's not perfect, no one is. But Grieves songs are.

  52. r.... ....

    This is flawless.

  53. W.... ....

    I've listened to this like 90x already

  54. F.... ....

    Can anyone get me the instrumental of this song? It would be much appreciated.

  55. e.... v....

    got too bigg to lv. ur old videos did you?.....

  56. L.... N....

    Now this is real music this sound like music from back in the days I love his music its about time someone who comes out with some real music that makes sense and has meaning your music is truly a blessing you go grieves

  57. 1.... ....

    what the fuck is a Mac Miller?!?

  58. j.... t....

    what the fuck is a little wayen? i listen to grieves!

  59. S.... ....

    Like putting a dislike button on any Rhymesayers Ent. video.

  60. S.... K....

    Even youtube makes mistakes. ;)

  61. M.... M....

    I know! I only listen to Rhymesayers, Immortal Technique, and Nas :D

  62. r.... ....

    That guy is a complete idiot. You can easily compare rappers.

  63. L.... ....

    Let's not compare leaders, either.

    Hitler and Teddy Roosevelt can't be compared; no one can correctly answer...

  64. l.... ....

    Wtf? I compare rappers all the time, by your logic is Lil Wayne as good as Eyedea?

  65. B.... B....

    ╭∩╮(︶︿︶)╭∩╮
    SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC!

  66. 1.... ....

    why have i never heard of grieves before.
    this is amazing.

  67. h.... r....

    haha- if you think hes sexy come to newburgh new york, im convinced every other boy i see looks like this guy.

  68. h.... r....

    amen!!!! u agree with you completely.

  69. E.... F....

    Love this song I really can relate I have high respect for ya man keep up the amazing work

  70. A.... S....

    Lovee this song<3

  71. N.... ....

    its all grieves on mine. pro because you watch his videos......

  72. B.... F....

    @xSkyism right?! he's so sexy! haha

  73. J.... ....

    Well Wax toke over now!

  74. R.... ....

    Sounds like The Art of Verse

  75. R.... B....

    @keyonte0 Sorry, I meant family.

  76. k.... ....

    @AysoPVP Ain't no fucking teams. Rap is music, not a pissing contest.

  77. R.... B....

    Why are we comparing anyone from Rhymesayers with people from rhymesayers? They're on the same team for god sakes. They all rip the mic and they're all amazing at what they do and they all have different styles. Enjoy their music or gtfo k?thx.

  78. C.... N....

    Grieves was inspired by punk in his early days, then he moved and started getting into the rap game. Atmosphere was one he based his career on. Nothing wrong with it, i think its pretty awesome

  79. C.... N....

    @iEatulikethis7 look at the world around us, cant help but to feel depressed every now and then.

  80. J.... C....

    sounds more like maacklemore

  81. J.... H....

    michael jordan and lebron james?

  82. J.... H....

    if you're comparing him to atmosphere then you don't truly know atmosphere

  83. J.... H....

    he doesn't sound at all like atmosphere.

  84. j.... ....

    @GhettoScene Grieves actually did produce the tracks on Irreversible, whats cool is that it actually names the equipment each track was produced with on the book jacket

  85. W.... d....

    @DonMago323 Like Atmosphere? The group? No. Slug? Maybe.

  86. W.... d....

    @jesseincalgary I think Grieves produced most of the tracks on Irreversible... But I'm not certain.

  87. D.... ....

    this kid sounds like atmosphere

  88. T.... ....

    @DrProf you are saying that on every video. shut the fuck up and go listen to ur lil wayne shit. btw mac miller is an embarrassment.

  89. J.... S....

    @jesseincalgary Grieves made the beats for this album! He's really talented!

  90. V.... ....

    @DrProf as long as someone can relate to what the artist is expressing through music, & culture. Then by definition it is Hip Hop

  91. V.... ....

    @DrProf Hip hop is a form of musical expression and artistic culture...I just discovered Grieves a week ago and I've already listened to all of his albums, his work is 100% Musically expressive and culturally artistic. Can you tell me exactly what it is that he has violated??
    And a true fan of hip hop knows that it embodies more than one sound, voice, face, & idea. That's the beauty of Hip Hop, it doesn't matter what it looks, or sound like

  92. V.... ....

    @DrProf
    Woah....what's your issue man
