[Chorus: Toni Hill]
I'm seeking sunshine
In the midst of dark times, so heavy on my mind
Lord, make me home, universoul
[Verse 1: IAME]
See I got this music in me right, but I can't hit a fucking note
All I need is one mic, all I got some shit I wrote
I can't sing no ballads, and prefer to keep my silence
I only came to challenge how far out this palette's prowess can extend
For years I've been depending on this writing
Training one day to the next, like X-Men sitting or fighting
Under the pristine and the zion, these dreamcatchers in thе ride, a bell ring
A small set of wings with еach chapter I supply
Provide a trail of broken ones and burnt pages behind me
On some 451 dumb, trying to erase the mistakes from my mind and see nothing but eternal sunshine
Blazed as hell and I only hit the purple one time
One love, one life, is all we got to live as far as I know
If it's worth it, it's hard to decide though
While the devil keeps his crosshairs targeting my soul
Along with everyone else who walks here in the department of lost hope
[Verse 2: Gold]
Now I swore the day that God spoke, I throw my sins behind me
Or at least where the bottle leaks out of reach, where they can't find me
My high speed is advising to see through the smoke and mirrors
That when I seven years of bad luck and already broken spirit
These are my terms of endearment not a fairness, I'll learn you
Or better yet alert you, before death let a hedge avert you
Cause one night can tattoo your universoul
So I ask you out of taboo, is your life worth the goal?
[Verse 3: IAME]
No one said this life would be easy, I'm trying to fulfill all these expectations
But lately it seems like they exceed me
I'm trying to succeed and see, it's hard, but music freed me
Like God gave me wings and now I reach for the stars
Just to touch something so bright it could light up a whole universe
I let that inspire me while I enlighten all you with a verse
Yeah Jesus walks, but we was walking with a verse
Till we stabbed him in the back and left him on a cross to hurt
So pop the collar on your shirt, rape a dollar for it's worth
Top to rock bottom, we search for fake idols on this earth
Revert back to bad habits and addictions in a second of stress
Damn it's a sickness, how we end up in this mess?
Rest assured there's something shining at the end of the tunnel
I just hope to make it there in one piece, it's like I need a stunt double
It's one puddle too deep, I'm up to my knees, bout to buckle with ease
Like oh fuck life's a struggle indeed
[Verse 4: Gold]
That only in my dreams have I seen such innocence
It's the day that man gave way and the sun's gaze from the picket fence
You can't pick and choose your pistol whip on the day that the nuclear missiles hit
In the midst of this we're giving in, we're good, good, giving it up
And I'm not out for the justice, I'm out for the just us
And I'll show you justice through a just cause
Cause one night can tattoo your universoul
So I ask you out of taboo, is your life worth the goal?
[Verse 5: IAME]
Last breath we take, we know it could be our last
So respect, we pay in full to those who have passed
Keep the love that you're showing if it's just the conditional type
And when you sold your soul to the devil, did you get it in writing?
This is a fight in which the power's always shifting from politics to religion
Education to business, even our relationships
The snake is infiltrating just to break us and twist the truth
Like a Rubik's cube and here's the proof
You waging wars over gods, I wage a war against Satan
I know I'm playing the odds, it's slim to none that I'll make it
But if I die for that cause, at least it wasn't forsaken
There's nothing sacred anymore, we can't escape what is in store for us
Like court orders, when God summons us with his judgment
What's the verdict gonna be? It's the serpent versus me
And y'all just serve him cause you're weak from your mind to your soul
Why is that? I don't know
[Bridge: Toni Hill]
Can I defy the odds? Maintain my faith in God
When death is oh so close, is there a ray of hope?
I'm seeking sunshine in the midst of dark times
So heavy on my mind
[Verse 6: Gold]
In a moment of such confusion, I back pocket my clarity
Closing my eyes, walking through life, hope something greater will carry me
Gravel grounded on my knees, I need not your pity, it's charity
Just an answer for this question, marking the dark that gawks and stares at me
And I can barely stand on my own two feet, so I can't walk you through it
But I can tell you how it ends, beginning with this loosely blueprint
Cause one night can tattoo your universoul
So I ask you out of taboo, is your life worth the goal?
I don't know
[Chorus: Toni Hill]
I'm seeking sunshine in the midst of dark times
So heavy on my mind
