Slave (Kirk Blackburn) - Living In Darkness lyrics

[Intro: James Carr] Hiding in shadows where we don't belong Living in darkness to hide our wrong You and me, at the dark end of the street You and me [Chorus:] For them boys that's (living in darkness) We gon' take the music and use it and never abuse it For them people that's (living in darkness) Living in a world full of lies Boy open up your eyes And see that we (living in darkness) We gon' take the music and use it and never abuse it For them people that's (living in darkness) [Verse 1: Slave] Some say no truth, could be lies How do we know that that's wrong or right Here's some truth, everybody gonna die Look at the who, where, whys Where's truth? Look through facts It's logical to do this Stay focused like a Buddhist But check how we pursue this Determined to distinguish Everything that sound so foolish Me and team, yeen' on fire Peep the game on Judas And its so hard To keep your eyes on God Cos you know, you know in your heart (It's a sin) Still holding us back from the fact Matter fact I see the clarity Music is therapy for myself And the evil ideas who here in me Some of its scaring me Cos I wonder to myself is they prepared to see Anything coming they have set Their propaganda as destiny Way things set up, got me fed up Safe to say that they stressing me Land of the free, home of the slaves Deception is the main recipe You see its so hard To keep your eyes on God Cos you know, you know in your heart (It's a sin) [Chorus:] But we gon' fight, city on the hill gon' be that life For them boys that's (living in darkness) We gon' take the music and use it and never abuse it For them people that's (living in darkness) Living in a world full of lies ,boy open up your eyes And see that we (living in darkness) We gon' take the music and use it and never abuse it For them people that's (living in darkness) [Verse 2: Slave] Cos only, God can judge my sin is what I had to say for it But my talks still cheap and I knew one day I had to pay for it When I lost my pops, had to look around look at all I got Most of my friends are dead, in jail and the rest still posted on the block Knowing they giving AIDS to women, cos they caught this thing in prison When I got this he forgot, feel remorse for the way he living You see its so hard to keep your eyes on God Cos you know, you know in your heart (It's a sin) And it's a fact, you know that late work is like Iraq You ain't gotta be serving either way still get caught up in trials If you don't watch your back, peep game change cycles Don't go psycho, cos you know that genius Is the verge of insanity see I don't know what you plan to be But I know that things stand for me. So I gotta keep living Even when its so hard, to keep my eyes on God Cos you know I know in my heart (It's a sin) [Chorus:] But I gotta fight, city on the hill gon' be that life For them boys that's (living in darkness) We gon' take the music and use it and never abuse it For them people that's (living in darkness) Living in a world full of lies ,boy open up your eyes And see that we (living in darkness) We gon' take the music and use it and never abuse it For them people that's (living in darkness) [Verse 3: Slave] Peep the maker through his creation we waiting Tell me what's the point of debating, who fake and Can you show me what is legit, as I try to live my life When it comes to life what's in the scripts And it tells us that we fallen, nothing we can do In and of ourselves to make us right with you That got me thinking, matter fact it got me shrinking Cos I know in the back of my mind (It's a sin) But you handled that, took on d**h, dismantled that Put out the flame like big fingers on candle wax I know it, I've vindicate and show it See that proof is in your word, better look at this life the way things going You start to see it see it, you know, seeing is believing So everyday that we breathing, we gotta live for God Even when the road gets hard Cos we know in our heart (It's a sin) [Chorus:] But we gon' fight, city on the hill gon' be that life For my brothers that's (living in darkness) We gon' take the music and use it and never abuse it For them people that's (living in darkness) Living in a world full of lies ,boy open up your eyes And see that we (living in darkness) We gon' take the music and use it and never abuse it For them people that's (living in darkness)
