lena jackson - darkness brim lyrics
yo, here’s the business
it’s kinda livid in the streets i witness
unfit for alkaline minds, a litmus test for the acidic
rids you of that sickness
if you spot it then your vision’s gifted
and if you’re blinded you can pray for forgiveness
that’s what the church say
lurking like the best of them
descendants of ministers
but if it’s sinister?
we thin em’ out like the rest of them
investing in pestilence, but expecting tithes
we provoke with no etiquette, now close your eyes
’cause you ain’t ready for this excellence, it’s evident
we got to be delicate ’round your residence
addressing elephants in room doomed to introduce you to your detriment
but i can show you different with my testament
come hither
i got a secret that’s blooming when all the flowers wither
a plan to dismantle the power structure channel we subscribe to while liars jive us steady on the ethics panel
i do this for the hood where we were given less than handled
light a candle if you want to, reflect the truth
there’s something deeper than the ills of my youth
to justify the uncouth
keep illuminants dimming, the tight grip on all things grim, in the nature of the swamp we swim in
all i can say is keep it strapped under your bed linen
eliminate the weak links and make stronger decisions
in my opinion, it behooves you to protect your women
birthing warriors for missions given
when moons turn to crimson and that wolf has bitten
there’ll be no time for pimpin’
you got to scrimp and save to keep from tippin’ in your grave
can’t catch you slippin’ and limpin’ is convincing
waves will wash that praise to an honorable mention
i raise tension when i step on stage, but i just want attention long enough to garner comprehension of the hidden page
hidden rage as the patience spreads thin
open the first chapter, adapt, and untap the mystery within
the chin checkers will disrespect if you not accepted in
but the eclectic got the dibs on the medicine
the next step is where your history begins
as on top so below, but above the rim
darkness brim…
(yeah) darkness brim y’all…
and we just gonna’ let that frame freeze for a moment
these demons teasing me with signs of the omens
body still, chilling, while my heart is roamin’
from outside in, i’m winning+ grinning for the cameras
but there’s damage in assumptions, plucking out your own components
i hit the churches, temples, mosques for atonement
accosted diplomas…my homies spoke shalom, but when i roam alone
i know they’d rock my box at any possible moment
screaming wokeness on the web, while their soul is dredged in melatonin
i see their motives, opposite of glaucoma, and consequently, i’m talked about intensely
convinced that my assembly is content to be a frenzy of abyss
aimed with intent to miss
i wished they did that sh+t for quincy bowens+ that kid was not the target but they shot and kept going, not knowing fam would pay the price for what his brother’s owing
so when you think it’s picture perfect and we’re free of sins
look closer, zoom/focus, adjust your lens
that’s the darkness…fear not, it’s just the darkness
that where we hide, surviving crimes of the vilest, living heartless
regardless, my squad stay fully equipped
proceed with caution when that brim is tipped…watch me!
