C - Lance - Darkness lyrics

[Hook] Been spending so much time underground I guess my eyes adjusted To the lack of light I got covered in darkness Covered in darkness Hibernating always waiting for something new Happinesss always ending In the blink of an eye There was no one attending No one attending [Verse 1] First thing's first, I Nixon, I gets money And can't never one of y'all take this s**t from me They done tried but the ties became severed Life got cold and darkness became pleasure It's sort of like a prison but can someone Tell me the reason for living, what's the mission? Is it to grab more cash than the next man? Pimps try and grab more a** than the next man The hood's like Thriller, could take a young kid Off the football field and turn him into a k**er, damn It's modern-day genocide when we die They telling lies, the mystery, God lives in the sky He's in our heart, body, and spirit is energy That co-exists with chemistry infinitely If mind detect mind why we still talk babble Plus degrees manifest ? master yeah [Hook] Been spending so much time underground I guess my eyes adjusted To the lack of light I got covered in darkness Covered in darkness Hibernating always waiting for something new Happinesss always ending In the blink of an eye There was no one attending No one attending [Verse 2] My city's streets is so vicious better change in a hurry Ain't enough medication for the brains that worry They're making more and more pills like it's fixing the problem When the side effects is worse than the original problem I'm so tired, my body is weak, I can't sleep And my feelings got me so confused I can't speak The government promise help, cutting our healthcare The media's the terrorist producing more self-fear If Bin Laden did what he did, why he still breathing? Contradicting stories like the Jews who k**ed Jesus Soldiers leave for war, come back paraplegics N****s fighting for a war and don't care for the reason That ain't me, Lord, Ca**ius Clay, send me to prison I should've listened when the older gods hit me with wisdom Now my intuition's telling me address the problems With the hope to find solutions, build domestic values, c'mon [Hook] Been spending so much time underground I guess my eyes adjusted To the lack of light I got covered in darkness Covered in darkness Hibernating always waiting for something new Happinesss always ending In the blink of an eye There was no one attending No one attending [Verse 3] I ain't the preacher man in ‘09 selling you dreams Or the gypsies on the television promising cream I'm just building with my insight a vision of light Painting pictures of intuition with precision and might Put a dollar in a bum's cup, later he eating And the one who threw the dollar need a cup cause he's leaking While we work all week and get bent on the weekend Only to wake up Monday morning in the 25th precinct I'm trying to show this rap game that cats slain And most never get a shot at life cause they dealing with wack aim So they leave school and go hard in the crack game Till they on the bus the greatest four with their backs changed
