Darkness Bright – Take It From Here
[Chorus/Hook]
You, can make the days seem light
And make the darkness bright
That’s what you do
[Verse 1]: Alex-Ander
I never had anyone, everyone abandoned me
And when I say ‘everyone’, I mean even my family
Gave me up, like I was a dog going to the pound
Just a piece a paper, a pen, and a little bit of sound
That’s it, so I’d sit there and I’d write
That’s what they didn’t like, but that’s just life, right?
So I’d fight, fight because this is what I live for
I didn’t give one, so they say I should give shits more
But I didn’t, just too damn defiant
Thankfully I had music to keep me silent
My head, inside it, I was violent
That’s why I didn’t speak it, just always kept quiet
The gist of it, music is my saviour
No god or king can do me this kind of favour
And the few people who supported me, I’ll pay you back later
I love you, hip hop, you too, pen and paper
[Chorus/Hook]
You, can make the days seem light
And make the darkness bright
That’s what you do
[Verse 2]: A-Jayy
See I never had anyone to look up to
I never met anyone that understood me, too
I’ve seen love once, but never last, now it’s in the past
Life, I can never grasp, watch it fall like an ash
Off the zag I be smoking, man, I be floating
Word’s been spoken, but I guess it’s not real potion
Now I swim with the snakes, with the snakes
In the middle of the ocean
Mind’s left to write, gotta make the dark bright
But it’s hard when you roll in through the night, out of sight
See, all I got is this with a paper and a pen
I wanna make my vision real, but how will it, when?
I don’t know, I don’t know if I can make it with this
All I know is I love it, so I work on a blitz
Trying to make the days seem bright, trying make the dark light
Yeah, man, just for the night, like
[Chorus/Hook]
You, can make the days seem light
And make the darkness bright
That’s what you do (x2)
