MF DOOM - Darkness lyrics

[Hook] Cruel world, all I'm seeing is darkness Cruel, cruel world, all I'm seeing is darkness Cruel world, all I'm seeing is darkness Cruel, cruel world, all I'm seeing is darkness Cruel world, all I'm seeing is darkness Cruel, cruel world, all I'm seeing is darkness [Bridge] How 'bout you? How 'bout you? I'm seeing things clear now, how 'bout you? How 'bout you? How 'bout you? I'm seeing things clear now, how 'bout you? How 'bout you? How 'bout you? I'm finally seeing things from a clear-eyed view How 'bout you? How 'bout you? I'm seeing things clear now, how 'bout you? [Verse 1] This life is like a mystery, look how the world's sent to me Today I'm in the industry, next I'm ended--history Physically won't allow it, my mental is not a coward Still thoughts are devoured worried 'bout if now's the hour Getting showered in this bad news, bombings and capped schools Need capsules for my brain's strain that's the pads route I express this stress that infests my chest, it's best The next step is a rope as necklace That's suicide aside, I got pride in mind And a pretty bright future, guess it's time to grind My shine getting impressive, though I'm still selective With who I let give me hard times and who I let live This world is full of mischief, and bodies trying slick tricks Moving thick bricks is not the only way to get rich You gotta learn to think or you'll fail Then there goes another statistic dead or in jail Let's prevail [Bridge] + [Hook] [Verse 2] Simply an old soul, villain 'illin' k**in' with these flows Know I can blow impose and you're gonna get disposed Exposed those who pose, living hopeless no hope For those jokes, still I try to hold they nose so Sorrow won't drown him, crowds will never clown him A lot of these laws open jaws when you're brown-skin A cap to your chest, in your complex cause honest Your conscious said the guy following you has lost it Your aunt just got 20 years it ain't fair Cause she pulled a gun out but she shot it in the air Let's prepare for all sorts of courses life offers Think before you walk this land of cold forces They want us on porches, they want us to forfeit Luckily we ignored it and still found of all this Wonderful life and light too I got a clear view, but how about you? [Bridge] + [Hook]
