Looking Through Darkness
You know sometimes I be lookin through the darkness
Tryin to find the light
Tryin to do what's right,with all my might
Lookin through the darkness
Yeah I'm lookin,lookin at you
I see you lookin at me,what you wanna wanna do
Here we go
Take a walk with me
Check it out now
Now as I peer through the window of gloom, and everyday living
And all the hardships one faces, to make you give in
I dig more intensely, finding greater strength
A lot of heads is empty,I've got a greater rank
Than MC's not aware of situations
That'll force one to understand, true stipulations
Thou shalt not bite, thou shalt not front
Fake it if you want but for the battles I've come,cause I'm
Lookin through the darkness
Yeah, I'm lookin out,lookin at you
Lookin at me,my style is free, do you wanna be
For me this rap life is real life
I don't have to create some false image
To make the crowd get hyped
Too many children get the wrong message, from clowns that walk around
Hopelessly lost, thinkin that they're the boss
They're in a daze, while **** MC's don't get the front page
Me I try to channel my rage
As I travel through the city regularly
Turning the anger and frustration, straight into energy
Yes you will remember me; as the brother who cared
To dare to step up, with his soul bared
But never fearing cause I've got instructions
From Him, to go and fight the corruption so I'm
Lookin through the darkness
I've got to look through it,try to find the light
Uhh,maintainin
My granddaddy always told me, to keep the light shining
So as my mic illuminates,you can feel the state that I'm in
Thoroughly immersed in a verse,way more than hardcore
I endure, cause in myself,I'm secure
Delivering syllables and selections with profound perfection
Comin back like the resurrection
In this session,I'm professin
That those who don't hear and understand
Never loved me,and so I planned
To take a stand,as one who is firmly focused
Plus I'm mad worthy with words
I rock from East New York,all the way to the suburbs
The lightkeeper,knowledge seeker
I switch the stress that's on my mind into the voice that rocks your speaker
And I get deeper than the cean when I'm
Lookin through the darkness
Yeah I'm lookin through it
Ain't nothing to it but to do it
Gotta freak it, now let me freak it check it out
All my life
Lookin through the darkness
Yo I'm so ill,I go ill,when beats with jazz
]Fill my need to express myself,like the blues I can't lose
Weak MC's,they're seekin refuge from my barrage
There's no rescue
Then I look through the madness, finding sanity
I'm crazy alert, I never swim in vanity
I do this rap stuff every year
Aiyyo peace to my fam especially my man Premier as I'm
Lookin through the darkness
Yeah lookin out,to the wilderness,the jungle,uhh,everybody's got to rumble
Lookin through the darkness
Got to find my way,doin my own thing
Walkin through the darkness
Got to find a way
Can you see the light?
