Grieves - Kings Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
I drink the cloudy city rainwater, you can never save my soul. Painted glass on my stomach, I don't break it for no one. Your blood runs like a river when your back's turned and hope don't float when it's chokin' on it's last word. Which one would you use to describe this, sick of fightin' everyone around me for silence, sick of tryin' to get inside of your silly blinded vision of what you though life was before you dived in. Take a look at me I'm piggin through my last meal, headin' to the gallows with a smile on my cracked grill and that's real. You can keep your little rap deals cause I don't give a damn about bein king of the crap hill. Stop, and let it fall where the chips lay and take the earth from underneath your fragile pride and kick stand. So when it all clears and the rain clouds fade you can stay with the rest of the skeletons in their grave.
[Chorus:]
This city (yeah) it's really got a hold on you. This city (yeah) it's really got a hold on you. You don't need to fight me off, I'm well on my way. Gonna leave these cobblestones and matchsticks in the back of my brain. I learned that you don't have a single word left that you can say. Better make me quiver when you wave it like a knife in my face. Your king is dead.
[Verse 2:]
You can change these bricks all day but not a single one will ever get you outta here, take you away. You want a throne that can never be claimed but standing there lookin' like another drone that lost his way. So take the broken crown off power in a kingdom full of fools gold, searchin' for a diamond in a pile full of bruised hopes. You're lookin' at me through those tiny little two holes that lie to you and force you to be blinded when the truth shows. Yeah I guess I'm nothin but a blood drop that fell out of your last black listed number one spot. Coagulating, I'm ready to be released, and how did your palms like the burgandy powdered breeze. How poetic, you all want change but won't let it, get a breath of any answer you decided it was ready to breath. Believe me, that's the nature of the beast. Break his little legs and watch it try to flee, watch it hobble out your awful line of reach. Turn around and pull the cotton out it's mouth and pour it's heart out in the streets and when all of this is over you can sharpen up your teeth just to smile in the mirror while the rest of you depletes.
[Chorus:]
This city (yeah) it's really got a hold on you. This city (yeah) it's really got a hold on you. You don't need to fight me off, I'm well on my way. Gonna leave these cobblestones and matchsticks in the back of my brain. I learned that you don't have a single word left that you can say. Better make me quiver when you wave it like a knife in my face. Your king is dead. You don't need to fight me off, I'm well on my way. Gonna leave these cobblestones and matchsticks in the back of my brain. I learned that you don't have a single word left that you can say. Better make me quiver when you wave it like a knife in my face. Your king is dead.

Shawn. I need a way to get through. Please hear my concern within the words of this song. I know you think I'm tryin to take away your happiness homie, but you're my brother. And I won't stop you any longer... "You don't need to fight me off I'm well on my way, gunna leave these cobblestones and matchsticks in the back of my brain"
His music is deep, ill shit.
Sempre me lembro de uma pessoa muito especial quando ouço essa música... Saudades... Saudades... s2
This song is about his friend being a heroin additict
mikeyizzl where's your source?
mikeyizzl I THINK its about him doing it cause he has other songs that reff him doing stuff.
@StoryoftheYear16 You have no clue what your talking about kid.
These are true lyrics period.
Masterpiece!!!!
Map Props on this track. The verse and hook are dope as hell.
i hate to be this guy but ive spent the night listening to grieves and he's not bad but i cant say i enjoy his shit. pretty basic honestly.
put basic? Try saying that now with the shit the record companies endorse and play on the radio daily.
"You can keep your little rap deals because I don't give a damn about being king of the crap hill." Best lyrics in the world.
Aron Didlo moron
sickets flower
LookslikeAsheley love you girl
grieves smokes
no one should despise. weed helps some people. weed hurts some people. your comment isn't that elastic, as it only hurts people, and doesn't help anyone in any case. if grieves is sane, and cool, he loves all people like Rhymesayers pushes, not just people who are "straight edge" like you. don't think I'm talking from a weed position, I just quit, for health reasons, but it helps some people like I said. equality, togetherness and helpfulness is what Rhymesayers preaches, not hate. <3
Judging by your name, he doesn't love you back, at all. He actually despises you.
If you like this dude like I do, I promise you'll like e-dubble. Not tryin' to take away from Grieves, just tryin' to spread good music. Try 'drinking with my headphones on'. You will not be disappointed.
Robert Fullerton great track!
And rap...
This guy...knows how to sing!!!
oh my god it sounds so good x.x
thank you so much. i didn't even know there was 1080p here! :D
montages from SwiFT is coming soon by me <3
e-dubble has something similar, "Be a King"
CaptainGamertag no
Oh 1080p <3
Then why listen, your hating for attention, I'm done here.
Lot of rappers have good songs named Kings.
-Macklemore
-Grieves
-G-Eazy
all good songs though
Salamander43096 idiot
im just saying his songs are dope
hahah true bobwhisky
Essa música é linda! Me apaixonei por ela no primeiro instante que a ouvi!! Demais, representa muito essa atmosfera de final de ano, mudanças, carinho... Linda demais!! Amei! Gamei!!
Good thing you upgraded to a new user name. At least now anybody who sees this can assume that if there's a Dave Steffens in their life, that person is tone-deaf.
New youtube is gay
one of the fewest new hip hop artists i like
You give the clan a bad name, your opinion is of one trying to show the stupidity of himself
You think the clan still sing about the same shit they sang in the 36 chambers and the clan had plenty bad albums still your opinion is noted just dont post in this video anymore
Race and the way he presents himself can't tell whether or not he's a good emcee, but rather lyrical content and how he uses his craft. Grieves is a good rapper with plenty of well produced songs and to say he "sucks ass" is straight out dumb. He's definitely not giving white rappers a bad name. If anything, kids trying to mimmick the 90's era gangsta rap music that isn't even relevant to today's world is worse.
You make me sad to be a human.........
hes def got experience in the raping department but not so much in the rapping department
nah man, he was born in chicago, moved to colorado, then to seattle now. either way, his music is the shit!
yup anjd hes under atmospheres label
is this dude from portland?? thought i saw his act at an atmosphere show? maybe?
Hey whatsup doc
Almost anyone that listens to underground hip-hop knows his name. He may not be a part of the commercial mainstream, but he IS - for a fact - well known, both for his music and battling skills in his earlier days.
>pretends he knows music
>calls Immortal Technique mainstream
My head is full of wat.
Finally an artist who's talent is his style, not his money.
I want this instrumental! >_<
@juanitofresh theyre both different styles, both are sick in what they do...
@juanitofresh immortal would kick this guy's ass and leave him bus fare
@juanitofresh who gives a shit?
sick beats + sick lyrics = GRIEVES
@BreatheMakayla97 I Consider Him More Of A Poet <3
Grieves and his white ass

you helped my girl get over me
i love hime ,but i hate him at the same time
he is sick but best rapper is tupac best white rapper eyedea but he deffinatly is dope as fuck and does have a nice clean flow

@ashtrey0110 cause hes not a sell out and the shit he sings is real
@jasen1997 how does that even make sence, theyre so much different why would anybody compare them/?
@CrazyMonkey52 ASS HAT, this guy is sexy.
@23qwik he looks like a fucking pig, how do you find that sexy. but he makes the best fucking music EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grieves has inspired my good friend who just made his first cd and its really good check him out at Ljandthesundancekid
he will never be like eminem......thats why i like him!
@mortdwort I agree 100 %. Favorite artist

Grieves often ends his lines with 'and'
I makes his flow better in my opinion.
