You know sometimes I be lookin' through the dankness Tryin' to find the light Tryin' to do what's right with all my might 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 as I peer through the window of gloon and every day 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 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 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 chilidren 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 frustation staight 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 instuctions From Him to go and fight the corruption so I'm Lookin' through the darkness I've got to look through it try to try to find the light Lookin' through the darkness Uhh maintainin 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 sububs The lightkeeper knowledge seeker I switch the stress that's on my mind Into the woice that rocks your speaker And I get deeper than the ocean when I'm Lookin' through the darkness Yeah I'm lookin' though it Lookin' through the darkness Gotta freak it now let me freak it check it out Lookin' through the darkness All my life Lookin' through the darkness 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 Lookin' through the darkness Yeah lookin' out to the wilderness Lookin' through the darkness The jungle uhh everbody's got to rumble Lookin' through the darkness Lookin' through the darkness Lookin' through the darkness Lookin' through the darkness Lookin' through the darkness got to find my way got to get it on Got to get got to get got to get it on Lookin' through the darkness Lookin' through the darkness Lookin' through the darkness
