Substantial - Guide You Through Shadows lyrics
[Verse 1: Deacon the Villain] Yeah.. Listen Once upon a time fell in love with an aura but the horror Said she couldn't love me till tomorrow Oh the disdain when tomorrow never came I was a moth to her flame named martyr Met her on the Marta King station oh the irony So many wrinkles in my mind, in no time, she would iron me out Help me find what I was about Give me water that could last in a drought, you see - me I was lost, in the shadow of d**h She had the valleys and peaks and with the shallowest breaths She told me bout light, took me right to the crest Showed me darkness, heartlessness parked in its depths I was kept 'tween them legs where she refereed me Was confused but her clues brought the best I could be To the top, when she left Thought I'd drop But instead Tilted head back and watched You see [you see] [Hook] She'll guide you through shadows... And to a star [x2] [Verse 2: Substantial] Yeah When you took me by the hand Friends who disguised they plans Went from allies or fam To enemies well I'll be damned Oh man, light's so blinding dog Amazing if you're seeing I without a guide at all Ninjas will hide in fog, predators close on prey Sun will come out tomorrow, today he throwing shade I couldn't see it Before I wasn't hip but then our trip made me believe it Guided me through darkness where the route ain't known as scenic I'm seeing These so called angels cast the shadow of a demon, the reason? Envy, they want what you're eating Like they're inclined to dine on spoils you been receiving They ain't help you grow or give you land to plant the seed in, it's seeming They only pick you when they see you are in season Eden [Hook] [Verse 3: RA Scion] 1, 2, 1, 2 Let the goddesses guide us, goddesses guide us Yo I'm solely dependent On the benefits of the soul and those energies in it Fuel the soul and power the motor We been the descendants Ever since she sent us the motive Witches apprentice Hold us Aluna by the shoulder to show you the road is Full of so much you'd never notice Legend after focus adjust though, and step closer We kept going so y'all could see what's floating in the waters I go with the torch to the farthest corner for its over We provide guidance, through this form of applied science Writers alliance, we tryna shine a light behind us For seekers to follow, beacon keep blinking eternally This journey is hell that's why I felt compelled when Deacon hollered My people need reminding there's some life lessons How we the finer specimens of the divine essence How to find direction whenever dead of night has set in Challenge your fears Shadows only appear when light is present We guide you [we guide you], we guide you [we guide you] Through the darkest parts of life to spark a light or to Help you to see a few emcees who's here to fight for ya Signs of victory reliance on the highest order Shine And to a star... [x2] You're sure to lose your mind [x4]
