Lyrics
0:02You know sometimes I be lookin through the darkness
0:05Tryin to find the light
0:08Tryin to do what's right with all my might
0:12Lookin through the darkness(yeah I'm lookin lookin at you)
0:18Lookin through the darkness
0:24Lookin through the darkness(here we go take a walk with me)
0:31(Lookin through the darkness check it out now now now now)
0:36Now as I peer through the window of gloom and everyday living
0:39And all the hardships one faces to make you give in
0:42I dig more intensely finding greater strength
0:45A lot of heads is empty I've got a greater rank
0:48Than MC's not aware of situations
0:51That'll force one to understand true stipulations
0:54Thou shalt not bite thou shalt not front
0:57Fake it if you want but for the battles I've come cause I'm
1:00Lookin through the darkness(yeah I'm lookin out lookin at you)
1:06Lookin through the darkness
1:12For me this rap life is real life I don't have to create
1:15Some false image to make the crowd get hyped
1:17Too many children get the wrong message from clowns that walk around
1:21Hopelessly lost thinkin that they're the boss
1:24They're in a daze while dope MC's don't get the front page
1:27Me I try to channel my rage
1:30As I travel through the city regularly
1:32Turning the anger and frustration straight into energy
1:36Yes you will remember me as the brother who cared
1:40To dare to step up with his soul bared
1:42But never fearing cause I've got instructions
1:45From Him to go and fight the corruption so I'm
1:49Lookin through the darkness
1:50(I've got to look through it try to try to find the light)
1:54Lookin through the darkness(uhh maintainin)
1:59My granddaddy always told me to keep the light shining
2:03So as my mic illuminates you can feel the state that I'm in
2:06Thoroughly immersed in a verse way more than hardcore
2:09I endure cause in myself I'm secure
2:12Delivering syllables and selections with profound perfection
2:16Comin back like the resurrection
2:18In this session I'm professin that those who don't
2:21Hear and understand never loved me and so I planned
2:24To take a stand as one who is firmly focused
2:28Plus I'm mad worthy with words
2:30I rock from East New York all the way to the suburbs
2:33The lightkeeper knowledge seeker
2:36I switch the stress that's on my mind
2:37Into the voice that rocks your speaker
2:39And I get deeper than the ocean when I'm
2:42Lookin through the darkness(yeah I'm lookin through it)
2:48Lookin through the darkness
2:54Lookin through the darkness(all my life)
2:59(Lookin through the darkness Yeah ohh yeah)
3:06Yo I'm so ill I go ill when beats with jazz
3:09Fill my need to express myself like the blues I can't lose
3:13Weak mc's they're seekin refuge
3:15From my barrage there's no rescue
3:18Then I look through the madness finding sanity
3:21I'm crazy alert I never swim in vanity
3:24I do this rap stuff every year
3:27Aiyyo peace to my fam especially my man Premier as I'm
3:30Lookin through the darkness
3:36Lookin through the darkness
3:42Lookin through the darkness
3:48Lookin through the darkness
3:54Lookin through the darkness
4:00Lookin through the darkness
4:06Lookin through the darkness
4:20Lookin through the darkness
4:26Lookin through the darkness
4:30Lookin through the darkness
