byron henderson - from the darkness. lyrics

[intro]
from the darkness we emerge
face to face with the gatekeepers of supremacy
we realize, this is no paradise…

[verse 1]
prior thoughts had me lost, sending missiles back and forth to my reflection
of course, due to my skin, i can’t afford second guessing
land of the free long as your tone is accepted
but that’s only in your face, behind your back’s a different message
don’t want your kids to know but, they need to know
this world ain’t suitable for them to grow up and be themselves
needеd help to heal but nevеr got it, see we were failed
sound asleep, they had our homes surrounded, and we were jailed
cops use your words to trick you into conflict
knowing good and well your heart races when around them, for good reason
it’s almost like they consider your natural looks treason
they try to box you in long before odds look even
progress came to a screeching halt
greenwood turned to ash, they ain’t have a second thought
potential paradise in ruins, and we ain’t been the same since
if we succeed, they find another way to hang men
more addiction, more christ debates, and more vices waiting
no more throwing hands, you’re better off trying to fight temptation
on the brink of death, thinking christ is waiting
when in reality, your family just has another crisis waiting
[hook]
tears cloud the words, no location for the comfort
digging holes, sending souls on vacation by the hundred
lord knows, a black man’s heaven is a white man’s—
a black man’s heaven is a white man’s—

tears cloud the words, no location for the comfort
digging holes, sending souls on vacation by the hundred
lord knows, a black man’s heaven is a white man’s—
a black man’s heaven is a white man’s—

[verse 2]
anatomy and hateful ignorance, another life lost
i know a couple blacks that’ll black
turn the sidewalk into an art exhibit just to get the freaking white off
baking in the sun, now that’s a nuisance to hierarchy
the homie’s friend, she was level headed
told him his anger will leave him trapped, he’d better dead it
harboring monsters, so i’d try to take her advice and move on
but try to move on me, and i’ll take your life
that was his mind frame, caught up in his past of nonstop pain
too overcome with rage to realize they were playing mind games
several disadvantages others won’t understand on a planet where it was planned in advance that we’d face plant
and that’s more bl++dy cotton, so just give me a reason
oh no, haven’t forgotten on us it’s open season
cops patrolling the block some times, pledge allegiance
not to help create a safe haven, but see you bleeding
for real
[hook]
tears cloud the words, no location for the comfort
digging holes, sending souls on vacation by the hundred
lord knows, a black man’s heaven is a white man’s—
a black man’s heaven is a white man’s—
