about

"It's been a minute since these vocal chords spoke to God...for no reason, blunts pass like the four seasons....been goin' hard down the boulevard with no regard...it's a cold world; I'm out here in the snow, freezin'..."
Quarter to Midnight is perhaps the most honest song on CrazyWorld. Over a beautiful, sorrowful beat from Skizzaz (sampled from the theme to Taxi Driver), Grizz confronts his struggles with addiction and substance abuse. Grizz once again switches up his flow on Quarter to Midnight; adopting a wistful, poetic style perfectly befitting the beat. Listen close to hear some real talk.

lyrics

Quarter to Midnight
Produced by Skizzaz Skullface
VERSE 1 [GRIZZ]
It’s been a minute since these vocal chords spoke to God…
For no reason, blunts pass like the 4 seasons…
Been goin hard down the boulevard with no regard…
It’s a cold world; I’m out here in the snow, freezin…
I used to have them coke sneezes, wakin up with nose bleedin,
Withdrawin & havin cold fevers…
That OC’s through the nose steez almost made me go fiend,
I’m just thankful that I broke free,
So toast to me, ‘cause the whole thing’s bittersweet,
Sleep with gritted teeth; this ain’t how it’s s’posed to be;
Everybody seems cold to me;
It’s funny that I used to think you had to have both of ya peepers closed to sleep...
Smokin grits till it’s close to 3; tryin to make it official like a notary
To get to where I hope to be,
But that monotony will fuck with you;
I got addicted, but I kicked it; now all I need is something to do…
HOOK 1
“It’s quarter to midnight kid, let’s get right!”
Nah, just sit tight young man, just sit tight
“It’s one o’clock; is you tryin to have some fun or not?”
Grabbed my phone & started dialin numbers, but I stopped
“It’s past 2, & you finished ya last brew; this is the last time I’m gonna ask you…”
Tipped my hand, showin all of my cards, & woke up,
Feelin like everything was fallin apart…
VERSE 2
Every year, gettin closer to them grey hairs…
Sad state of affairs, but I don’t say prayers…
Just to make it clear, yo I keep my faith near…
Too many cats create cages to escape theirs…
Or put on great airs; thinkin they shakespeares
Much ado about nothin; I can’t care,
Ya whole face is just a canvas to paint fear,
You better off livin in church; ain’t no saints here
Just a bunch of hateful sneers & blank stares;
One foot in the grave; I had to change gears,
Left my hate there; all of our fates’ shared,
Became prepared to death; now I ain’t scared,
Gotta make the most of what I got, ‘cause fate’s weird,
And life’s real, but it doesn’t always play fair,
And that monotony will fuck wit you,
I got addicted, but I kicked it; now all I need is somethin to do…
HOOK 2
“It’s quarter to midnight kid, let’s get right!”
Nah, just sit tight young man, just sit tight
“It’s one o’clock; is you tryin to have some fun or not?”
Grabbed my phone & started dialin numbers, but I stopped
“It’s past 2, & you finished ya last brew; this is the last time I’m gonna ask you…”
Nah, that’s coo man, I deaded that scene,
And woke up, feelin like reverend dunked my head in that stream…
END
