Don't Swan Dive in Dark Waters (feat. Prof.Parks)
Everybody got a dark side
And dark thoughts
They just might be in the archives
They say we made in his image so am I good in God's eyes?
And online is where we livin' our lives
Where we flex to compensate for not havin' a strong mind
We go through hard times
Pretendin' we don't have a soft side
We tell small lies
Really it be all pride
They always say that what's done in the dark will come to light
And you need some light to make a seed come to life
But everything be watered down
I see darkness all around
Not to mention that it's harder when your skin a darker brown
We hide the frownin' by drownin' in dark liquor
Dark cloud over me it's hard to see the large picture
You gotta pay the bill when they cut off your power
In other words you gotta depend on yourself in your darkest hour
Cause throwin' darts in the dark is even hard for a sharp shooter
Don't know when to smile, life be feelin' like its dark humor
Let's separate the black swan without the white swan
You either down with Babylon or climbin' up Mount Zion
Forgettin' what I need just thinkin' about what I want
Comin' up through the ranks like skaters on a ice pond
Farewell to the fathers, and sayin' goodbye mom
In public, I've been withdrawn from crayons to Krylon
Dead rappers turn into murals and they're called icons
Before I'm gone, rather become the next Carl Icahn
Lettin' bygones be bygones, been up all night long
Since eleven PM, fell asleep by dawn
Lookin' for a shoulder to cry on, but tears only come out when I yawn
Spark ions, my mind strong like Jake the Snake's right arm
Had 'em choked up, came in the clutch with the pythons
I'm ahead by miles when I write songs
With a sense of right and wrong that's what I shed light on
They scattered when I saw 'em
I'm not rattled but I keep eye on the trap like there's mice on it
These rats'll have a whole lot of lip but disregard Mysonne
Don't dwell in the tower, more power to you like a pylon
If you tackle the problems that pile on
Pushing the line back'll put your goals within the pylon
And dark thoughts
They just might be in the archives
They say we made in his image so am I good in God's eyes?
And online is where we livin' our lives
Where we flex to compensate for not havin' a strong mind
We go through hard times
Pretendin' we don't have a soft side
We tell small lies
Really it be all pride
They always say that what's done in the dark will come to light
And you need some light to make a seed come to life
But everything be watered down
I see darkness all around
Not to mention that it's harder when your skin a darker brown
We hide the frownin' by drownin' in dark liquor
Dark cloud over me it's hard to see the large picture
You gotta pay the bill when they cut off your power
In other words you gotta depend on yourself in your darkest hour
