Darkness
[Chorus]
Darkness, hold me
My nightmares, won't go to sleep
I dive in, to the cold sea
I tried swim, but don't breathe

Darkness, hold me
My nightmares, won't go sleep
I dive in, to the cold sea
I tried swim, but I don't breathe

[Verse 1]
Yo, if only I could meet the old me
I'd say little bro there's so much that you don't see
So many people around that you don't need
I'd reach out and tell him what they never told me
The people that you roll with ain't even your broskis
Just a bunch of leeches they eat off you slowly
And no I won't preach proceed to roll deep
I know you keep your friends close 'cus your family don't speak
But in reality them man are just coke fiends
That gradually grow weak and have casual nose bleeds
But hang with that whole team, 'cus yea they're scumbags
But in that bag of man there's a handful of OG's
And meeting them will teach you to stand on your own feet
'Cus you're the one person in life that won't leave (uh)
You're the one person in life that won't know
I know you're so broke, some evenings you don't eat
Not even some cold meat, it's scary with no heating
Keeping you cozy, no parents is so peak
I tell 'em keep scheming and dreaming with no sleep
And just be prepared to tear up the whole scene
And don't worry when there isn't no P
Believe it or not right now i'm wearing a Roly (ay)
And young G no need to smoke weed
You'll take your first toke, your face'll go green
Swear I know you better than I could ever know me
I roll a zoot better than you could ever roll G
Don't even try it every week I be buying a oz
Supplying the whole street
You're righteous then don't be
So naive, so sweet and so innocent
From someone that came from a bloodline so militant
Siblings don't give a shit, they own their own businesses
Nobody wants to get old and told that they show ignorance
So, say no thanks and yes please
Tell him life's a game you're only the chess piece
Hold up your head bro you know that it gets peak
When it does pick up the pen and flow like an MC
[Chorus]
Darkness, hold me
My nightmares, won't go sleep
I dive in, to the cold sea
I tried swim, but I don't breathe

[Verse 2]
'Cus you're the boy and i'm the man
And that hairline don't hold up, enjoy it while you can
I know you think about the future and go guarentee
Nothing's guarenteed
A wise man won't worry over the choice he doesn't have
And that's the only thing we can accept
None of us are getting our money back when we're dead
Just be the best you for when you have a family
I know you're scared of having kids 'cus all the shit you had to see
It just had to be to invent the man you see
And be a better man than your daddy could ever be
And then you'll understand why your dad he had to leave
'Cus when plan A fails man go back to B
Back to the agony the savages the pain
Hand on the kitchen knife to stop him slashing up his veins
Break the shackles and the chains, carry on the same
For the child she's carrying so we can carry on your name
I know you want a family, but you're married to the game
Couple women in your way, that you cannot save
And when that train passes, give that hand a wave
No nothing matters when you're hanging 'round the endz
Banging with your mandem, hanging 'round your friends
But your sister got with Woody boy
And found him hanging now he's dead
Now he's just ashes and you got him hanging 'round your neck
Yeah, and he'll never be forgotten
Heart as heavy as the coffin
If I could meet the old me would I even get the acknowledgement
When he's the one responsible for the knowledge I wanna give
I'd probably wanna kiss ya
Give a little smile, say sorry I wasn't with ya
You survived the suicide and broke the cycle for your sister
Now roll a spliff and put in all the pressure that you pent up in a rizla
And then blow it out the window like a winner
Time is something that you cannot redeem
So go and be with your family G
Even if you're having beef and can't live amicably
Yea your family's mean but they don't know what family means
But we can't even have a gathering most our family beef
No family meals where the whole family eats
So if you have a plan to get this family back on its feet
It's through them bars that you drop
That fire that is fed from the scars that you got
Be the star on the top of your family tree
That anger inside of you is bad for the chi
I know you'll handle your shit because it happened to me
[Chorus]
Darkness, hold me
My nightmares, won't go sleep
I dive in, to the cold sea
I tried swim, but I don't breathe

I'm dying, hold me
I'm riding, don't leave
I'm dying, hold me
I'm flying, don't leave

Darkness, hold me
My nightmares, won't go to sleep
I dive in, to the cold sea
I tried swim, but don't breathe
