Grieves - Bloody Poetry (Official Video) 

"when you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect" -mark twain

This is rap, this is poetry, this is art.

Just found this guy. I can't believe I never came across him before. Absolutely incredible. Every single song is an absolute banger.

Awe grieves looks so young. Lol been listening to this dude for ten years now, we are getting old homie.

I was walking around Warped Tour today in NorCal and heard this amazing beat on a small stage and couldn't help but notice the ridiculous soul Benjamin was spitting! I met Grieves and Budo and they are amazing!! Only legends put a stop to your destination through their music

8 years later and it's still completely relevant. Every time I hear it, I react with goosebumps and tears. Such beautiful fucking art.

Rap is a genre of music, Hip-Hop is a way of life.

The amount of pure emotion and passion Grieves puts into the delivery of every word is amazing.

First song I've ever dedicatedly mesmerized, Musically and lyrically. So great, I'm always singing this at work all the time.

I don't like rap, I'm more of a punk and metal guy, but this guy is so fucking good, first rapper that I listen to

I love the way grieves express his feelings in his music

Saw him in concert about a year ago. Amazing. Met him afterwards and he signed my CD. Hes just so awesome

I love rhymesayers.

I listen to Wiz and such, but I have always been a fan of the people on Rhymesayers. Always will.

I guess it started when the lights went out and everybody started running round in circles tryin to figure it out I could feel it wedged in my ribs it felt freezin as my cold air blew out dance through the evening, paranormal slowly being called to the green where the ghosts gather nightly and sell the devil their dreams, i observe hails from the other side of the curb hold the concrete notepad scribble down my words in the limelight this is what it's like to bleed ink put your fingers in it paint me a picture of what you think make it beautiful and make it look like love make it hang from the heavens make it break my trust make it real make it dangerous make it out of the rust make it passionate and impossible to touch it's forever slowly resurrected from the dust when you understand its everything inside of you, its us. You're all I've ever known So to my sleep You always got me running home Count for the roses You're my blood and brittle bones, my soul and open throne You're all I know Ive spoke a whisper in the dark one night watch it take form in front of me and mimic my life it seemed natural specially watching its last breathe like poetry watch as it clung to its own chest with a smile made out of broken pieces of tile you can see the thoughts running chase em around for miles if you want it people say that old road is haunted if you travel on it long enough you'll never get off it you believe it cause everything is skewed when you see it then you process automatically think that you feel it and automatically sticks to the brain when the truth of it is standing outside playing cards in the rain you will never beat the game it plays you can only turn around and lick the blood from your own switchblade its forever slowly resurrected from the dust when you understand its everything inside of you, its us. You're all I've ever known Just come to my sleep, you always got me running home Handful of roses You're my blood and brittle bones, My soul an open throne. You're all I know. You're all I've ever known Just come to my sleep, you always got me running home Handful of roses You're my blood and brittle bones, My soul an open throne. You're all I know.

❤❤❤ This is one of my favorites dude. I love all your music It speaks to my soul 🎶

Love this song.

Sending love! So bummed I missed you in Reno. Man. After this show, I almost died in a house fire. My friend didn't make it. The relationship I was in became abusive. You and SLUG haha got me through it and helped my dig deep to find my strength. I appreciate yall. Mad love.

This song is dope! Why is it that I never heard of these guys? Well better late then never right?

I just came across Grieves this year and I haven't heard a bad song yet

I am now a Grieves fan :)

this man has changed my outlook on life and has made my own personal writing, especually my most current book, become so much clearer and understanding to me as well as brought more reality meanings brought to my attention

This man has talent. He ain't a thug or anything, he aint a minority, he ain't anything horribly outrageous, hes just talented.

It feels so good when we are coming home... thank you for bringing us back brother

Finally a rap song that doesn't talk about who rich they are and all the drugs they do that's why I like this guy

Been listening to this band since 20,000 views and been loving it since!

master piece

is grieves seriously the dopest artist ever!??

[Verse 1: Grieves] I guess it started when the lights went out And everybody started running round in circles trying to figure it out And I could feel it, wedged in my ribs it felt freezing As my cold air blew out, dance through the evening Paranormal, slowly being called to the green Where the ghosts gather nightly and sell the devil their dreams I observe hails from the other side of the curb Hold the concrete notepad Scribble down my words in the limelight This is what it's like to bleed ink Put your fingers in it, paint me a picture of what you think Make it beautiful, and make it look like love Make it hang from the heavens, make it break my trust Make it real, make it dangerous Make it out of the rust, make it passionate and impossible to touch Its forever, slowly resurrected from the dust When you understand its everything inside of you, it's us [Hook] You're all I've ever known So to my sleep, you always got me running home Handful of roses your my blood and brittle bones My soul and open tomb Is all I know [Verse 2: Grieves] I've spoke a whisper in the dark one night Watch it take form in front of me and mimic my life It seemed natural, especially watching its last breathe like poetry Watch as it clung to it's own chest with a smile Made out of broken pieces of tile You can see the thoughts running, chase em around for miles If you want it, people say that old road is haunted If you travel on it long enough, you'll never get off it You believe it, cause everything is skewed when you see it Then you process automatically think that you feel it And automatically sticks to the brain When the truth of it is standing outside playing cards in the rain You will never beat the game it plays You can only turn around and lick the blood from your own switchblade It's forever, slowly resurrected from the dust When you understand it's everything inside of you, it's us [Hook x2]

I love listening to songs and thinking wow I have such a good taste in music.

SpeAks to my soul

piano + underground rap = GREAT MUSIC

Very bright and gloomy at the same time I can relate

WHY DO I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

Dude I remember when this video had about 5k of views so glad to see an artist who truly deserves it start to make it

He's different. He's real. Not your typical rap artist. I love it.

0:58 A wild Grynch has appeared!

Rhymesayers is gonna explode soon. There is no way they can stay low key with a guy like Grieves droppin his CD on their label

Like If the 2013 Golden Era Cypher Brought You Here.... Must say, this is bloody awesome. Wasn't expecting this good a song, was expecting a simple beat that golden era used. Grieves, I think im a fan :)

It's awesome that Budo features in all of his videos

He should’ve went big damn

He's awesome. My life, experiences, he hits it on the head, everytime-he says my thoughts outloud. I love his music.

I used to write bloody poetry... But then I took an arrow to the knee.

Man i think grieves is one of the most talented artists. The raps are too tier the singing fantastic. The beats amazing. Just awesome. Hes one of those artist that doesnt have a nad aong on an album.

CYNE, Aesop Rock, Blueprint, Evidence, Blue Scholars, J-Live

Your music is why I enjoy rap. Your lyrics are clever and you don't have to sell into the cliche idea that what sells in the media is what 'music' should be. This song is addicting, I can't stop listening to it!

He doesn't fit in the coffin

Rap is the style of singing and hiphop is the genre

white boy got skillz

Just cause you have a bad childhood doesn't mean you will be a better rapper. Yeah grieves had a pretty good lifestyle unlike other rappers who didn't, it's all about how you can process words and send a message to the people whos listening to the music. That's what makes grieves so good cuz he sends a message that everyone can relate to

the comments on grieves videos are the Worst

Grieves and Budo, unstoppable duo.

So sick. His personal message is like slug's. I'm glad he's young and holds down hip hop. Not hip pop

we are all entitled to our opinions on wha is good music and what is not. quite personally, I'm not a hip hop person really. I usually listen to what some people describe as "shitty scene core music". but when my friend told me about grieves and i looked him up on here and listened to him for the first time, i fell in love. i admire the time, struggle, blood sweat and tears he has put into his music. he has the balls to write down his thoughts and share them with everyone who listens to his art.

him a cudi should do a song together

Grieves is the man, I just started listen to him about a week ago and so far all hes songs that Ive heard are in my ipod.

since when are my underground rappers popular? im scared guys

How the hell could someone dislike that bass line, piano riff, drum beat, and trumpet solo? It seems impossible.

This is rhythm and poetry kids, true to original cerebral rap ...oh wait now you have irrelevant rhymes with atrocious repetitive hooks...but that's all you've known

One of my favorite artists of all time.. killing it each time GRIEVES!

I hate it here

I can't believe I was sleepin' on this guy, such an incredible talent. Great lyrics, plus he's a good singer too. Definitely one of the top underground rappers around.

you look so different than what I imagine

I cant stop listening to Grieves...

lip piercing...WHOTHEFUK

together apart is the best album ive heard in a long time. I really hope Budo and this kid get the true fame and exposure they deserve.

I thought Aesop would be the first to attend a funeral.

Can't believe it's been 12 years

me and my boy met grieves at warped tour and spent a while talking with him about how his music and ryhmes rly helped us get through some hard times. he and budo ignored all the lil girls that were tryin to bullshit with them and take pics and told us we were the reason that made warped tour special. this is a real musician.

This dude is new to me, and I am constantly blown away with his flow and creativity. He isn't rapping about money and liquor haha he has a certain quality and meaning to his lyrics that i'm having trouble finding elsewhere. i love it.

My favorite rapper. I'm in love with his lyrics

I see music in general as poetry. I enjoy rap artists who have good lyricism in their songs. Instantly a new favorite artist!

Got this song off iTunes in a demo pack. Just gotta say, based on his voice, I never would have pictured this guy. Great song, and the lyrics are highly intriguing.

This guy and his producers have talent the most i've ever heard for a song that has a million views.

This song gives me the chills.

i miss my friend, man. Life is so unfair. RIP my brother. Shit aint fair. We know that.

rap is the music, hiphop is the culture...

Its an independent hip hop record label based in Minneapolis, MN

Grieves + Macklemore would be my dream concert.

Gonna be honest, The Golden Era Cypher bought me to this guy. Not disappointed at all.

This is one of the SICKEST beats ever. Credit to Grieves too, for the verses. Hip Hop Masterpiece.

Wow grieves fire every tine

Budo rules!

this song is amazing. grieves is such a lyricist its crazy

in the last year, ive heard plenty of more music, and grieves is still my favorite.

i feel you on that one when he came to SXSW i was right there quietly listening to this man's poetry.... this dude has a great talent.

lovin the way Grieves interprets rap through his videos and how he is doing something different. Hopefully i can be where he is at soon.

NOW this is CLASSIC talent!!! beat & lyrics all ORIGINAL!!!!!! REAL ART stays for EVER,imitations will fade away!!!!

Grieves has an amazing flow. Great imagery and execution. My favorite album of his is 88 Keys and Counting. The first video on our channel is inspired in part by tunes like this.

I'm addicted to Inspiration and Grieves is my supplier.

love so much grieves

It's dope because the school he went to (Centennial, Fort Collins CO) is where majority of my friends go (I go to a different one here in Fort collins) but they all have Grieves as their inspiration to stop their drug use. He definitely made an impact

Golden Era.

Hiphop is both music and a culture in modern society

Gotta love how he sings too.

Probably the most relatable song on RU-vid

Absolutely love this

been looking for new music i think i found it..the radio is driving me insane!!

"I spoke a whisper in the dark one night, watched it take form infront of me and mimic my life. It seemed natural, especially watching its last breath like poetry, watched as it clung to its own chest with a smile. Made out of broken pieces of tile, you can see the thoughts running. Chase them around for miles if you want it, people say that old road is haunted. If you travel on it long enough you'll never get off it"

Cant wait till friday!!!!
