[Chorus]
They weren't supplying the region, back then when we needed peace
Nighttime creeping
Floorboards creaking
A man with the key couldn't be discrete
Grew up with a crack in the ceiling, I thought it would reach to me
Then on a hopeful season I deeped it
Now i'm a man you'd be pleased to meet
They weren't supplying the region, back then when we needed peace
Nighttime creeping
Floorboards creaking
A man with the key couldn't be discrete
Grew up with a crack in the ceiling, I thought it would reach to me
Then on a hopeful season I deeped it
Now i'm a man you'd be pleased to meet
[Verse 1]
My bro, please move reasonably
That boy's hot with a reason to be
He don't care 'bout his life
So why would he care about mine or yours
Just needs a release
He's 'bout to blow, put T in a T
Power bestowed is a mountain below
The courage it takes to kneel in the defeat
Cause from there we stand, won't need the receipt
If you going "band for band" then don't get mad if I don't buy it
'cause a man with cash in his hand
Is a man in demand who can't keep quiet
I'm in the party, sighing
I'm mad and I can't keep lying
I left my yard
I stepped too far
And I know that it weren't required
Gotta practice patience
They doctor the top
But saw man coming
Like that's so raven
Yeah, it's a bashful statement
Hogging my plate when they act so craven
But if I had to bank on man instead of myself
I'd still be waiting
[Chorus]
They say the darker the night
They say they brighter the light
I know my left from right
Just 'cause I couldn't decide
Throughout my life, I've heard ごめんなさい way too many times
If you wait on the sea instead of the tide
Then maybe you'll see why we look to the sky
They say the darker the night
They say they brighter the light
I know my left from right
Just 'cause I couldn't decide
Throughout my life, I've heard ごめんなさい way too many times
Gatekeep by the crime
We were born in the dark
But we needed to shine
[Verse 2]
I'm stood here on a different plane still carrying luggage
I don't pull ranked but that boy there got carried in public
Everyone's carrying something
So everyone's carrying something
Parrying punches
Please don't meet
She won't set you free, no Harriet Tubman
It's only when things get sticky
You see your groups been lacking the suction
When things get stark like Arya all we have is assumptions
Never been barrier bumping
TFL moves like a thief in the night
So I get how man gets back by giving them nothing
7 a week like a Harriers coming
But I'm changing the subject
First year here and I came on smoke
I have no vice so I'm ain't your type
'cause you pay your price when you take your toke
I'm on tea and herbs and all of the fruits and roots of the earth we grow
'cause the seeds we sow get reaped tenfold
I got let go
Now they call my phone
They say I'm clear
I'm nowhere near
Next thing you know they'll call sleet, snow
With every drop
They say don't stop
When will they clock
That I don't reload
'cause one in the chambers not gonna save you
Even if that one blows
The next not matching the high is low in the eyes of most, yeah
[Chorus]
They weren't supplying the region, back then when we needed peace
Nighttime creeping
Floorboards creaking
A man with the key couldn't be discrete
Grew up with a crack in the ceiling, I thought it would reach to me
Then on a hopeful season I deeped it
Now i'm a man you'd be pleased to meet
They say the darker the night
They say they brighter the light
I know my left from right
Just 'cause I couldn't decide
Throughout my life, I've heard ごめんなさい way too many times
If you wait on the sea instead of the tide
Then maybe you'll see why we look to the sky
They say the darker the night
They say they brighter the light
I know my left from right
Just 'cause I couldn't decide
Throughout my life, I've heard ごめんなさい way too many times
Raised up in Gotham
Gatekeep by the crime
We were born in the dark
But we needed to shine
“Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and social activist. After escaping slavery, Tubman made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including her family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known collectively as the Underground Railroad. During the American Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the Union Army. In her later years, Tubman was an activist in the movement for women’s suffrage.” Wikipedia says.
