Earl Sweatshirt - Grief Lyrics
Alright
Uh, uh, uh
Good grief, I been reaping what I sow
Nigga, I ain't been outside in a minute
And all I see is snakes in the eyes of these niggas
Momma taught me how to read 'em when I look
Miss me at the precinct getting booked
Fishy niggas stick to eating off of hooks
Say you eating, but we see you getting cooked, nigga
I don't act hard, I'm a hard act to follow, nigga
Like it or not, when it drop, bet he gotta listen
Chasing dragons, tryna make it happen, on a mission
Step into the shadows, we could talk addiction
Don't give a fuck, pardon me for going into details
3-7-6 was a brothel
We had females come in every hour on the dot
And the shit sound like a gavel when it knock
Focus on my chatter, ain't as frantic as my thoughts
Lately I've been panicking a lot
Feeling like I'm stranded in a mob
Scrambling for Xanax out the canister to pop
Never getting out of hand, steady handling my job
Time damaging my ties
Who turn to get up? Get dude turned to dinner quick
You circus niggas, you turning into tricks
I was making waves, you was surfing in 'em
Dealing with the stomach pains just from birthing niggas' shit
Cut the grass off the surface
Pray the lawnmower blade catch the back of a serpent, nigga, shit
Bitch
Good grief, I been reaping what I sow
Nigga, I ain't been outside in a minute
I been living what I wrote
And all I see is snakes in the eyes of these niggas
Momma taught me how to read 'em when I look
Miss me at the precinct getting booked
Fishy niggas stick to eating off of hooks
Say you eating, but we see you getting cooked, nigga
I'm fleeting thoughts on a leash
For the moment, high as fuck
I've been alone in my shit for the longest
Snakes sliding in the street
Mama taught me how to not be like the bodies lying in them
Pigs, riding in 'em
I'm a target so it's hard to even eye me in 'em
If he ain't dying for me, then I ain't riding with him
There's no time for that
Making sure my man wallet's straight like a collar
When you iron that
Thinking 'bout my grandmama, find a bottle
I'mma wallow when I lie in that
I just want my time and my mind intact
When they both gone, you can't buy 'em back

Earl Sweatshirt Grief Comments
Chasing dragons tryna make it happen on a misson, step into the shadows we can talk addiction..
This could possibly be sampled from Katz theme from Courage the Cowardly dog. This reminds me so much of it.
Rubin off the paint
Happy Birthday too my favorite rapper, Earl...hope U have a great day 👏🔥💯👍
Happy birthday Earl
This song/video puts the entire universe in context.
whoever made that instrumental, i love it
Chill music to study an chill and by the way get high to
Be honest this mix is trash lol
This 2 real
Σπερνει big time
Anyone else listening to this in 2020
God I wish that was me, this how I’m gonna get fat
Coming down on a tab, took a grav watched this just to realize how fucked up I still am haha
raw emotions
with that Gary Wilson outro, this might actually be the best song of the decade
“Chasing dragons, tryna make it happen, on a mission
Step into the shadows, we could talk addiction
When it's harmful where you going and the part of you that know it
Don't give a fuck, pardon me for going into details”
That’s deep as fuck, shit that you can’t say or know without actually going through it.
Reminds me of the episode where mordecai and rigby get lost in time and space and have to find their way out
“All i see is snakes in the eyes of these ni**as” this one hits very hard to me. Im 13 years old, and have just been through some shit. A mutual friend of mine confessed to hating me and telling me my friends dont like me. I said”ive never trusted you from the start” because he was fishy. I could tell literally in his eyes and the way he acted. He used to bully me when i was new to the school which isnt unexpected but still. This taught me, always go with ur gut and never unforgive someone for a choice they made that wasnt a mistake or a one off. They know what they did, and dont care because thats who they are. I used to be inna friend group with about six people. Trusted most of them, but never him. Nowadays i trust about 3 people at school. This shit hurts man, it aint nothing to brag about. Youll know that once uve finally been through some shit.
Steezy Better to learn this young than later, same happened to me. I developed trust issues, try to find genuine people. Hope you doing better
Cherry ? Im doing all good man thanks for the support bro. I was just going through a little 13 yr old phase like everyone does at this age ahah
@Steezy Tru bro
Waaah waaah i’m a 13 year old I say im depressed whenever I get sad when people say they dont like me for supportive reasons waaah
People come and go, especially in middle/high school. Learn from this to filter out your future friendships and relationships, and even then you'll sometimes fail. It's aight, go out, meet new people, I was the loneliest for a long time and it made me a better person. I'm 24 now and I'm happy all that shit led me to now being around people that are ride or die for me.
The ending instrumental leaves me feeling anxious. And upset. Surrounded.
Who's here after Skam Italy?/Chi qua dopo Skam Italia?
dis Video is so good
It's 2020 and this shit still slaps
I love how on the "about" section of his channel, it's just a synopsis they copied and pasted from somewhere else, ignoring the fact that it got cut off before the end
I'm 17 months on my grief journey..I'm turning this pain to help others out there who are grieving. Let's connect if you are grieving
Gary wilson
This beat sounds like death
Amateurish and talentless.
Said by the Talentless
You can try to do better
Kevin B you’re not very intelligent huh.
ok kevin sure
487 hit my pianos 🎆
Explosions for like 1 sec
Murderin the beat. Gotta catch a show from the homie next time he in the south.
My 15 year old sent me here 2020.
Hardcore 🥊
why does this song make me so fuckin sad
This song hard asf
2020 🙏🏽
Step into the shadows we can talk addiction 🙌🏽😔
I can't believe he was only 4 months when he released this.
(My Rap) I hope I get all my albums back.
I just want my time and my mind intact. When they both gone, you can't buy them back.
This is EXACTLY what I pictured in my mind when I first heard this song.
When it's harmful where you going and the part of you that know it
don't give a fuck, pardon me for going into details...
2 years clean in a couple weeks. This song hit me way hard when it came out, but it really hits me harder nowadays. Anybody with a problem stay up. There is hope. If a treatment hopping, chronic relapser, junkie like me can do it, you definitely can too. Much love to all and especially Earl.
2020 and this is still the creepiest music video of all time. love it
We back
a feel ya ma brotha
Real life dog
Let me know what think?
*CLASSIC!!!*
still a classic...gonna listen to this in 2020 and forever
2020 I'm here
come back
i miss a lot of shit
Badass > earl
Amazing!
“I just want my time and my mind intact
When they both gone, you can't buy 'em back”
this hits different when you drunk
Came here cause I'm in my feelings rn. It's about 11:32 rn. Been thinking about suicide. But I'm not suicidal. Just the thought of having all your family members cry and mourn for you. The image of it is terrifying.
This dude fell off hard
Sometimes you leave people behind
Fell off? 🤨 Tf you talking bout?
AirJordan AtThis He didnt fall off, hes just not one of those people that make 1 hit song. Hes been in the rap game since 2009, and his following hasnt stopped.
AirJordan AtThis wtf
Need more drone/ambient inspired beats in rap
Song goes hard!!!
He's got white-face!
after 3:27 should be a whole 5 min song of earl spazzzzinn
Is that BadBadNotGood at the ending? or..?
I still really love this music video man incredible
I thought if I inverted my colors it would be better but it actually made it even creepier than it was
when the chick jumps in the water and disappears.. dope vid
This was definitely written when high.....
Classic 🔥
Drum session jams@ the end ,dark asf tho...triggers depression

"I aint been outside in a minute i been living what I wrote" Is way too relatable for me.
this song and pigs fly from bastard man. puts me somewhere else
I'm passive aggressive
i miss earl
Say u eating, see you getting cooked
This is the same man that made "EAST".
This is the same man that made Pigeons.
And that's tight too.
Dre and east is a fantastic song
wow this really came out in 2015
This beat is fire💥
Video is different when your high and Sad.
The only one that sound similar to his flow is jay z otherwise he got his own flow
That instrumental is crazy. You guys know of any other songs with same dark sort of horror type instrumental?
earl sweatshirt x vince staples - centurion
westside gunn - kool g
So ahead of his time. People ignoring this song has a lot of positive themes.
where you been my whole time listening to music fam...? FAAAAAM
Oh my god...😟😦😮
Brotha Lynch would have done the muthafucca to this 🥃
This is peak earl
I hope life gets better. Been going through this for so long.
damn cant believe url sweater ripped off joe vurt music video!
finna blast myself with this on repeat
You're a dark genius bruh. Dr Jekyll n Mr Hyde shit 💯
2019 , and forever
Anyone else baked?
makes me cry

Someone put this guy on their "Worst 50 rappers of all time" smh
