[Emcee(s): Monochrome and Black Sun]
[Producer(s): Monochrome]

[Intro (Overlapped with Bridge): Shadowz In Da Dark]
Black Sun: What’s that? Oh shit. It’s black clouds. Yeah
Monochrome: Yeah, for all my brothers in the place that feel the black clouds. Yeah, keep it true. Need that loot, plus that rent is due. Babies moms, headaches, and all that. Check it

[Bridge (Overlapped with Intro)]
Black clouds, covers the sunshine
Black clouds, and the storms they bring

[Verse 1: Monochrome]
Now take a regular brother
Like me for instance. Description: a little above the average
Cutting in barber shops to get cash—that’s how I manage
I rot in one sun, and one son that’s soon to come
The second son through trickery, some chickens that’s dumb
Beguiled into flashing a smile above a child
Who may never know his daddy, got secrets in the vow
I wanted to terminate, but baby moms turned his fate
How do I tell the seed of love now that he almost didn’t make daylight?
I clutch the bible tight and move as a disciple might
Detonate my devilish thoughts to blow like dynamite
But the black cloud still remains. Cold and alone
With my pains, wind chills and icy rains, so many questions
But ain’t getting enough of the answers. I’d rather have died
Than been alive when I heard my mother had cancer. Somebody tear
My heart out next time—damn! Nothing ever could be
Better than a hug or a tight fam. If I could trade
All that I took for granted for a grand, I’d buy an hourglass
That never ran out of the sand. How much can a man withstand?
This one is dedicated. Thought out, planned, and meditated
May the proceeds go to my seeds and all the teary eyes it generated

[Hook: Monochrome] (x2)
Black clouds cover the sunshine
Sometimes I feel like I’m trapped behind enemy lines
Black clouds and the storms they bring
Yo, it’s hard to maintain on the dark side of things

[Verse 2: Black Sun]
Behold the
Brother raised in the East. Solar
Over the years, got pulled like an orthodontist reaching for your molar
Nights are polar, days iller than the Ebola virus
Armed and robbing with Osiris, my life on papyrus
Flashback to childhood, four locks on doors
Back to basics in the PJ’s, rest on floors
The fence around the buildings looks like a prison, keep
The world locked down, plus got me trapped where I’m living, so it’s
Time to blow up fort, I already know. Do our thing
In the industry and see steady dough. Lord, I seen
Some brothers turned Trump, others broke and drunk, spec-
-tators, creators, imitators, and jealous punks
Old dad did the knowledge to Thelonious Monk. I strayed away
As a likkle youth, caught an appetite for skunk. Now it’s a
State of emergency, some sense of urgency
Make a righteous man back you down and grab your currency
You know the routine, black. Ass cracks, greenbacks, and weed sacks
Collect the interest on them seen stacks. Ay! Be that
If you see that, achieve that goal, receive that gold
Peace, Lord. Twelve jewels behold

[Hook: Monochrome] (x2)
Black clouds cover the sunshine
Sometimes I feel like I’m trapped behind enemy lines
Black clouds and the storms they bring
Yo, it’s hard to maintain on the dark side of things
