[Chorus]
Ooh yeah, somebody take it away from me
Ooh yeah, baby don't take it away from me
Ooh yeah, sunlight is crawling it's way through me
Ooh yeah, darkness is here, it'll stay for me
[Verse 1]
There's a lot of shit I've been waiting to hear from you
Like would you tell me what the fuck I'm here to do
Had enough of this shit, there's a lot on my mind
I just carry the weight as it piles on my spine
I'm too far from my faith to rely on a God
I'm too far from my brain, I'm too out of my mind
I don' seen a n***a get his shit knocked back, for real
I don' seen a n***a with his fist cocked back
Hit his bitch out back, 'till her shit got cracked
And there's blood on the floor
I know n***as ignore that the blood in a queen
Runs the same in a whore
Facts are the facts, we just choose to ignore
I'm not givin' myself, what the fuck is this for, man?
[Chorus]
Ooh yeah, somebody take it away from me
Ooh yeah, baby don't take it away from me
Ooh yeah, sunlight is crawling it's way through me
Ooh yeah, darkness is here, it'll stay for me
[Verse 2]
Man, I swear to God, I almost lost my mind, for real
I left with all the pieces I could find and feel
It's dark now outside, but it's dark in my mind
I lost all that I love at the same fuckin' time
And the pressure to be, with the pressure to climb
Left me broken in places too desolate to find
N***a, my brain is a cage
It's a place where the beasts that I'm battlin' lay
Man, it's a wrap. I relax in my rage
Like a bat, like a rat, in a trap or a cave
Yo, my thoughts all go black, they get trapped on a page
Then reality comes like a slap to the face
'Cause I'm dyin' to be, man, I'm dyin' to stay
Where I'm finally free, where I'm flying away
They don't want war, no
Won't let me soar, yo
Told 'em before, though
Told 'em before, though!
[Outro]
How you throw dirt on a seed and not expect it to grow, yo?
(Oh my God!)
Man, we come from the dirt, ain't no shinin', just in photos
I don't wanna live a life on fire, and nothing to show for it
If sufferin' makes a God, then let me know more of it
