darkness lightens

Life is hard, Hope I make it, It’s a risk, But I’ll take it, Feeling like I’m living Stuck in the basement, I’m just trying To get a higher placement, Life is hard, But I’ll make it, I can’t wait a long time I’m anxious, I’ve just gotta get off The pavement, So they hear me across The nation, Life is hard. Verse 1) In the shadows, where the secrets lie, Whispers in the dark, can’t let 'em pass by, Eyes wide open, see the truth unfold, In a world so cold, where the souls are sold. Power plays, chess moves in the night, Behind closed doors, they plotting the fight, Illuminati, yeah, they pulling the strings, Got the masses blind, while they wearin' their bling. (Verse 2) Money talks loud, but it’s silence they keep, The deeper you dive, the more you lose sleep, Sacrifices made, for the rise to the throne, In a game of life, man, you’re never alone. Every corner I turn, see the signs in the sky, Knowledge is power, but it’s hard to comply, They want control, but I’m breaking the mold, With a heart full of fire, and a spirit so bold. In the shadows where the money talks, Whispers of the streets, where the real ones walk, Countin' green stacks, but the trust is thin, Friends turn foes when the lights get dim. Bitches in the game, playin' roles like a script, Smile in your face, but they plot and they flip, Eyes on the prize, but the heart's full of doubt, In this life of sin, what’s the real about? Late nights schemin' under moonlit skies, Countin' blessings, but the devil's in disguise, Cash rules everything, but it’s lonely at the top, Watchin' for the snakes, they don’t stop till you drop. Loyalty's a ghost when the money's in play, Friends become shadows, just a price to pay, Chasin' dreams in the dark, with a heart full of pain, In a world full of greed, can you trust ‘em again?
