Darkest Light Songtext

von Sevin

Yeah
So much more than what's on the surface
Ya'm sayin?
Only God knows… real talk
I'm brokenhearted man…
Hurtin so bad
I don't expect ya'll to care
But I know there's someone out there that feels me
You feel me?
So I'mma tell this story for them
Walk with me one time

Yeah... It's so hard maintainin' hope when you in pain and broke
I can't revoke the hurricane my city's rainin' dope
There ain't no antidote
Gang bangin' and they train us like the Navy bro
Maintain ya post and always keep ya banga' close
It ain't a hoax we them heinous folks that you can't approach
We staying in coats and keep a gang of ropes for hangin' throats
You slang tryin' ta hang — it's real ain't it folks?
The beam came in packs, the pills came in boats
Every chick I've ever known has been a prostitute
And every nigga's on his own when they gon' prosecute
I don't need to fool with liquor just to shoot a nigga
Been treated brutally this brew just tells me do it quicker
Sin whispers on the wind and it's a grim picture
You'll think a friend kissed ya
Then it's the end nigga
Everything I've ever loved has been taken from me
I'm wrapped in pain like an ancient mummy… c'mon

You can make the day seem right
And make the darkness bright
That's what you do

Yeah… I was born into sin so I figured I'd raise hell
Thrown to the wind left sicker than AIDS sales
I used to blaze L's with my niggas and make mail from crime
Loadin' dimes in the tips of the gauge shells… it's so real
Yeah… my neighborhood is a killa' breeder
OP and middle fingers up if you don't feel us either
Seventy millimeter gorilla eaters'll kill a neega
On ya beata' ya homeboys'll have to spill a liter
This life is perfect evil
That's right we murder people
They die behind crack pipes and hypodermic needles
I did enough it got me twisted up mentally
I had to give it up man they'd given us centuries
I got rellies' ain't comin' home
They fake partners clubbin' with they stunners on
Giggin' like they stuntin' for em
Meanwhile he's losin weight in the cell
His girl trickin' with the homie she ain't makin his bail
Man, they marks in they hearts mane they naked and frail
Most these new niggas bangin' wouldn't make it in jail
Yeah… I just call it how I see it, take it how you feel
My status real don't get at us I could have you killed
That ain't a threat it's a warnin' out of love for ya
I really pray to forgive ‘em I ain't a grudge holder
I tell it like it is, relative I have failed at life
No cellulite in my element it's just hellish strife
Hotter than tapatio in bed with the baddest evil
Ghetto bread, attracted to metal like Mag-a-neto
How I'm currently livin certainly blurries my vision
They said He died but then I heard on the third He was risen
I'm well aware I need forgiveness like the rest of us
I'm wretched dust I wear my flesh just like a neck-a-lace
Sin burdens me I am buried in insecurities
With urgency need you to surgically insert your word in me
So there I said it
Jesus please be my paramedic
Don't know where I'm headed
What good is peace if I ain't there to get it
An unworthy disciple is what I'm likened to
I know your light is true, but who ignited you?
The same way a moth is attracted to flame
Is the way I find myself drawn back to your name
Yeah… so many questions mane I'm wrackin' my brain
But your presence is an actual thang'
And I am askin' for change

You can make the day seem right
And make the darkness bright
That's what you do
