lyrics

Modern times
Let us breath what they died for
Now open up your mouth for the downpour
And drink it up
Swallow all that troubles us
Savor every sour touch
Digesting all that's holding us
Neglecting nature's natural rush

And I'll be floating for eternity
Like picture me
Picture you
Coasting through the ocean blue
Finding clues in something new
It's strange what time will do to you
But beautiful
As settings grew and flowers bloom
As things progress you're getting through
Let's not forget we're laughing too
Those laughs are scrubs and bath for you
Developing an attitude
My life in modern times

It's our life in modern times

We're always waiting on the get-back
Awoken in a daze
Don't remember where you slept at
Expected to forgive
But you know you can't forget that
I wish I could forget that
That's why I carry weed sacks
That's why I tilt my seat back
Project my gaze to star light
Reminded that I'm alright
You hear that mom?
I'm alright
From morning to the black night
I'm breathing and then blow out
What I'm all about
That is self doubt
That is weed smoke
That is love and lust
That is life in modern times

It's our life in modern times

We're always waiting on the get-back
Awoken in a daze
Don't remember where you slept at
Expected to forgive
But you know you can't forget that
I wish I could forget that
That
I could forget that
That
I can't forget that
That
That's why I tilt my seat back
Back

That's why I carry weed sacks
That's why I tilt my seat back

We're always waiting on the get-back
It's our life in modern times

GRiMMS & BLACKNiGHT Chicago, Illinois

GRiMMS & BLACKNiGHT was a Hop n' Roll duo based in Chicago. J.A. Grimms brings a unique touch to the traditional form of rapping with a folk-like approach to storytelling amidst BLACKNIGHT's dreamy, pulsing, 'woozy' production and rock-based guitar playing. They completed a full US tour in 2016 and went on to make an album with producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse) under the project name Big Branch. ... more
