Out of the dark darkness
The light
Everything they said that was is what really wasn't
Everything they said we should is what we really shouldn't
Everything I came and did is what they said I couldn't
Instead I walked straight paths (past) should've put your money on me
Who I am is everything and still I am no thing
Understanding of this truth is what got me free
But what free, if not for the American dream before I leave this place physically I do it mentally
They say that we are not the first but that's His story
Birthed from outta the trauma (drama) you chose the roles for me
Extraordinary, but I was extra normally etched in the souls of those whom had come before me
Like four scores and seven years ago but I ain't never had four fathers this is not Maury's
You cannot deny me and you can't ignore me
The rest of y'all in vain I did it for His glory, the light
The light, shines
Out of the dark darkness, the light
The light shines
Out of the dark darkness, the light
Never been a sad day when a rooster came back to roost
I got off my soap box to preach it from the roof
I got out that foo put to preach it from the booth
I even took a breath or two so I could listen too
I even too a breath or two so I ain't judging you
I wouldn't want you to walk a mile inside these shoes
There's those who make it back
And those that never do
LIFE means death on a five year review
They took away our leaders
And then they gave us leaders
Wine and spirits on every corner don't forget Miss leaders (mislead us)
Give it till you pour forget your poverty
Never had a plan just pour, oh here go plan B
Master of my fate, Captain of my Destiny
I ain't never heard a child say I'm glad they aborted me
But I've lived with our sins
That's another mouth to feed
Sometimes our ops be no options and ignorance is bliss, the light
The light, shines
Out of the dark darkness, the light
The light shines
Out of the dark darkness, the light
The light shines
Out of the dark darkness, the light
The light shines
Out of the darkness
The light, shines
The light, shines
