DARKNESS

Whatcha feel in the absence of light?
Lemme know what do you feel?
Whatcha see in the absence of light?
Lemme know what do you see?

Not everyone can survive where I dwell
I’ve come from heaven, defeated hell
Seen things some of you can’t believe
Done things out of my inner being
Some feel they don’t get a choice
Some hear a voice, some fools may rejoice
On the sins committed, never quit
Never felt any warmth in the darkness, perfect fit
Is a man’s dark element
In a saint who is heaven-sent, warrior, no regrets
In the absence of light in the night
My senses air-tight, hands on a hot mic, I
Never took the pain
Into the mind frame, Navajo must remain
Calm, cool, collected, flow
Never afraid of the dark in the heart, so

Whatcha feel in the absence of light?
Lemme know what do you feel?
Whatcha see in the absence of light?
Lemme know what do you see?

Tell me, tell me now does the darkness comfort you?
Show me, show me now how the shadow rattles through
Does it, does it feel like a power never felt?
I’mma, I’mma tell that you never ever dealt
With a power that takes, never gives
Hates, never for-gives nor never lets live
Any thoughts to survive where the light can’t
Penetrate with the strength of a night cap
Cuz there ain’t no comfort or cool breeze
Dark’s a dead space laced with a fool’s pleas
Fear, sorrow, solemn, and alone
Some never know this is it, fo’sho
Last chance, grab you a last dance
Once you’re in, son, there ain’t a romance
In this realm where black’s the abyss
No way to quit, time’s up, this is it

Whatcha feel in the absence of light?
Lemme know what do you feel?
Whatcha see in the absence of light?
Lemme know what do you see?

Never before have I ever been at peace
In this blackness, Navajo will release
Thoughts that keep me outta the light
Outta the darkness, rhymes with an air-tight
Flow emerges, surge with a soul’s sound
Armed with underground pound and a throw-down
Strength to summon any saint with a namesake
Strong, uncommon, I’m alarmin’ when I cut weight
Down the mind to the spine to the mic
Out the heart, I’mma part with an outright
Rhyme that dwells in the hell of a mind set
Sent to get whatever I’mma need, get
Outta the dark, over the mark, I’m gonna spark
Conversations on how I’mma take part
In this push to revive what I seen die
Outta the dark, I’mma spark ‘til the rap revives

Whatcha feel in the absence of light?
Lemme know what do you feel?
Whatcha see in the absence of light?
Lemme know what do you see?
