l/one (mitchell) - darkside lyrics
world got me livin’ on the dark side
it’s dark skin dark eyes
i fight for freedom but my problems multiply
on the darkside
it’s dark skin dark eyes
i fight for freedom but my problems
multiply
i fight for freedom but my problems
multiply
i fight for freedom but my problems
in my hearts it’s all black i was raised to be a good man instead, here i stand, a shadow of myself, no wealth, and in bad health, talking ’bout my mental state i may need help
‘cept that sucks for a n-gga like me, see this living ain’t free least i get to smoke trees, least i get to smoke trees? better than to hang from the same, ain’t no d-mn game shoulda chose to bang i’m estranged from the black pain. sh-t i need some ‘cain to go numb from my own pain. realized they the same on this plane cause human’s life pain
i’m at odds, god can you make it so the f-cking pain will stop! god! can you make it so my f-cking heart will pop in my chest? they replied boi you don’t understand how blessed yes i said blessed that is it you are
so i’ma go hard! all for the power, min after min, hour after hour, ill eviscerate forever every mothaf-ckin’ coward, have em look up to my pretty face from a bed of flowers mothaf-cka
spitting venom, no ether, i ain’t got the nos different kinda creature, the type to hear she gotta man and not believe words, and now my actions got me saddled underneath her, i’m climbing deeper, maybe i can keep her
maybe i keep sane, from the love of pretty p-ssy, drink and some mary jane, sounding like an addict, but it’s habit does that seem strange
rearrange derangement in the bas-m-nt just to keep tame, no shame
don’t blame me for tryna live like ogs, image in my mind seen on screen of tvs. worlds all f-cked a n-gga trying to survive, thrive by any means, so he living on the dark side
living on the dark side
dark skin dark eyes
on the dark side
living on the dark side
dark skin dark eyes
on the dark side
by whatever means i’m doin’ me
{2nd verse}
i think i want war
why?, cause i’m bored
ideas of destruction
just to settle all the scores
imaginary lines
we don’t really need more
guess it’s for the people
fake down to their core
they need to hear the sound of a body go thud
god f-ck a rainbow honestly we need a flood
people don’t care till their eyes catch blood
mean mug
do they get me?
no they only see a thug
no love for the black skinned clan
i don’t understand since we all human
every gene derived from a black woman
wanna piece of the culture don’t see cuffs on hands
f-ck it man, it’s not like anybody really cares
too scared, even unaware of rights that they bare. at this point it’s childish to wish the world to be fair, fair skin and straight hair got the globe in a snare
but not me, race is a lie, currency a game your country plays till you die. media modifying the makings of your mind. but i ain’t here to judge i got the drugs making mine. hard times, wanna die, but i’m programmed to survive
so i’m alive, but i ain’t really living, dead man walking, nah just kidding, scour the world in search of what it is i’m missing. but let me quit my b-tchin move on to the mission, world domination and i’m open to enlistment, do understand the current leaders won’t permit this, their peace is a lie based on socializing pigment, p-ssion in my soul’s the only thing that i know, whatever it takes to break the cyclic status quo, i know some hear me calling, i know some down to ride, don’t hide
come and join me on the dark side
whatever skin or color eyes
we fight together it’s the enemy’s demise
on the dark side
break your chains free your mind
we fight together and our enemy will die
