Guru - Looking Through Darkness lyrics
(feat. Mica Paris) [Guru] You know sometimes I be lookin through the darkness Tryin to find the light Tryin to do what's right, with all my might [Mica Paris (Guru)] Lookin through the darkness (Yeah I'm lookin, lookin at you) Lookin through the darkness (I see you lookin at me, whatcha wanna wanna do?) Lookin through the darkness (Here we go.. take a walk with me) (Lookin through the darkness.. Check it out.. now now.. now now, now now) [Guru] 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 [Mica Paris (Guru)] Lookin through the darkness (Yeah, I'm lookin out.. lookin at you) Lookin through the darkness (Lookin at me, my style is free, do you wanna be?) [Guru] 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 dope 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 [Mica Paris (Guru)] Lookin through the darkness (I've got to look through it.. try to try to find the light) Lookin through the darkness (Uhh, maintainin..) [Guru] 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 ocean when I'm [Mica Paris (Guru)] Lookin through the darkness (Yeah.. I'm lookin through it) Lookin through the darkness (Ain't nothing to it but to do it.. Gotta freak it, now let me freak it check it out) Lookin through the darkness (All my life) (Lookin through the darkness.. Yeah, ohh yeah) [Guru] 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 [Mica Paris (Guru)] Lookin through the darkness (Yeah.. lookin out, to the wilderness) Lookin through the darkness (the jungle, uhh, everybody's got to rumble) Lookin through the darkness (Lookin through the darkness..) [Mica Paris (Guru)] Lookin through the darkness Lookin through the darkness (Got to find my way, doin my own thing) Lookin through the darkness (Walkin through the darkness) Got to find a way.. Got to get, got to get it on (Can you see the light?) Got to get, got to get, got to get it on (Peace aight?) Lookin through the darkness Lookin through the darkness Got to get, got to get, I've got to get it on Lookin through the darkness Got to get, got to get, I've got to get it on Got to get, got to get, I've got to get it on
