Lyrics for “My Grandma” Rap
(Modified from Original)
Grandma I’ll never stop talking to you
Don’t you ever stop talking back to me
I know you tired grandma, hold my hand,
Hold on tight for as long as you can
I opened my eyes so that I can see,
Open my mind let my mind go free
Open my heart so that people can see
What kind of things have been bothering me
It’s been one long ride and I finally plea
It’s my last resort you don’t need to agree
Weighs too much, I can hardly breathe
My knees are giving in this is what I need
It’s been 15 months since your first scare
I remember that day ’cause I was there
I dropped what I had and my hands didn’t care
Left my teddy bear to approach my grandma over there
What? Whachu mean she’s gone, disappeared
Tears streaming down and it wetted her cheek
She built the courage and needed to speak
And, the moment she feared was suddenly there
She waved me over, so I came over
She hugged me harder than I can remember
Any ever hugging me
But that was actually the point in time that
It all became so clear
The 2 minute silence and the 10 minute stare
Something was wrong but how do you prepare
In the front row seat to the world premiere
Her burden unloaded so she talking sincere
With a message for a kid that I didn’t wanna hear
Take good care of the time left to share
It’s no good news, it’s a poisonous spear
Silence in the room, but love in the air
Tried to calm me down but it went to my head
This is what she told me but this is what i said
Grandma I’ll never stop talking to you
Don’t you ever stop talking back to me
I know you tired grandma, hold my hand,
Hold on tight for as long as you can
Grandma I’ll never stop talking to you
Don’t you ever stop talking back to me
I know you tired grandma, hold my hand,
Hold on tight for as long as you can
Close my eyes don’t need to see
What my mind keeps showing me
Haunted dreams keep killing me
Collar on my neck, God set me free
It’s dark in this mist but I’m going on
It’s got me to my knees but I’m holding on
My hands tied up God damned this rope
I refuse to give up, but I’m losing hope
‘Cause when I go home this is what I see
Grandma on an IV ’cause she won’t eat
Nothing I can do but take a seat
Start a conversation and hear her speak
This might be the end, so when I go to leave
Hold her in the hand for one more beat
Look her in the eyes and I kiss her on the cheek
Rub her on the neck and I tuck her feet
I bite my lip as I leave that room
It tears me up and it kills my mood
I’m a sensitive kid in the middle of a feud.
Trying to stay in tune when I’m in my room
But it’s all too soon for you to moon
I love you grandma give me one more noon
And, in case you can’t, I’ll still talk to you
Don’t you ever stop talking to me
See this is what it came, my final thought
Brought you flowers hoping time is what you got
Music is timeless, if only I could stop
Time for a second, tell you how much you rock
Doing your best always easy or not
Always with a smile and you’re always there to talk
time is running out but my questions are not
Grandma I’ll never stop talking to you
Don’t you ever stop talking back to me
I know you tired grandma, hold my hand,
Hold on tight for as long as you can.
