[00:02.200]You know sometimes I be lookin through the darkness
[00:05.200]Tryin to find the light
[00:07.700]Tryin to do what's right,with all my might
[00:12.200]Lookin through the darkness
[00:15.400]Yeah I'm lookin,lookin at you
[00:20.700]I see you lookin at me,what you wanna wanna do
[00:26.200]Here we go
[00:27.700]Take a walk with me
[00:30.700]Check it out now
[00:35.700]Now as I peer through the window of gloom, and everyday living
[00:39.700]And all the hardships one faces, to make you give in
[00:42.700]I dig more intensely, finding greater strength
[00:45.700]A lot of heads is empty,I've got a greater rank
[00:48.700]Than MC's not aware of situations
[00:51.200]That'll force one to understand, true stipulations
[00:54.700]Thou shalt not bite, thou shalt not front
[00:57.700]Fake it if you want but for the battles I've come,cause I'm
[01:00.700]Lookin through the darkness
[01:02.700]Yeah, I'm lookin out,lookin at you
[01:07.700]Lookin at me,my style is free, do you wanna be
[01:12.200]For me this rap life is real life
[01:14.200]I don't have to create some false image
[01:16.200]To make the crowd get hyped
[01:18.200]Too many children get the wrong message, from clowns that walk around
[01:21.700]Hopelessly lost, thinkin that they're the boss
[01:24.200]They're in a daze, while dope MC's don't get the front page
[01:28.200]Me I try to channel my rage
[01:30.700]As I travel through the city regularly
[01:33.200]Turning the anger and frustration, straight into energy
[01:36.700]Yes you will remember me; as the brother who cared
[01:40.700]To dare to step up, with his soul bared
[01:43.200]But never fearing cause I've got instructions
[01:45.700]From Him, to go and fight the corruption so I'm
[01:49.200]Lookin through the darkness
[01:51.700]I've got to look through it,try to find the light
[01:57.200]Uhh,maintainin
[02:00.700]My granddaddy always told me, to keep the light shining
[02:04.700]So as my mic illuminates,you can feel the state that I'm in
[02:07.700]Thoroughly immersed in a verse,way more than hardcore
[02:10.700]I endure, cause in myself,I'm secure
[02:13.700]Delivering syllables and selections with profound perfection
[02:17.200]Comin back like the resurrection
[02:19.700]In this session,I'm professin
[02:21.700]That those who don't hear and understand
[02:23.700]Never loved me,and so I planned
[02:25.700]To take a stand,as one who is firmly focused
[02:29.700]Plus I'm mad worthy with words
[02:30.700]I rock from East New York,all the way to the suburbs
[02:34.700]The lightkeeper,knowledge seeker
[02:37.000]I switch the stress that's on my mind into the voice that rocks your speaker
[02:40.700]And I get deeper than the cean when I'm
[02:43.700]Lookin through the darkness
[02:47.700]Yeah I'm lookin through it
[02:49.700]Ain't nothing to it but to do it
[02:52.700]Gotta freak it, now let me freak it check it out
[03:00.700]All my life
[03:03.700]Lookin through the darkness
[03:07.700]Yo I'm so ill,I go ill,when beats with jazz
[03:10.700]]Fill my need to express myself,like the blues I can't lose
[03:14.700]Weak MC's,they're seekin refuge from my barrage
[03:18.200]There's no rescue
[03:19.700]Then I look through the madness, finding sanity
[03:23.200]I'm crazy alert, I never swim in vanity
[03:26.700]I do this rap stuff every year
[03:28.700]Aiyyo peace to my fam especially my man Premier as I'm
[03:32.700]Lookin through the darkness
[03:34.700]Yeah lookin out,to the wilderness,the jungle,uhh,everybody's got to rumble
[03:44.700]Lookin through the darkness
[04:03.700]Got to find my way,doin my own thing
[04:08.200]Walkin through the darkness
[04:11.700]Got to find a way
[04:16.700]Can you see the light?
