slave (kirk blackburn) - living in darkness lyrics

[intro: james carr]
hiding in shadows where we don’t belong
living in darkness to hide our wrong
you and me, at the dark end of the street
you and me

[chorus:]
for them boys that’s (living in darkness)
we gon’ take the music and use it and never abuse it
for them people that’s (living in darkness)
living in a world full of lies
boy open up your eyes
and see that we (living in darkness)
we gon’ take the music and use it and never abuse it
for them people that’s (living in darkness)

[verse 1: slave]
some say no truth, could be lies
how do we know that that’s wrong or right
here’s some truth, everybody gonna die
look at the who, where, whys
where’s truth? look through facts
it’s logical to do this
stay focused like a buddhist
but check how we pursue this

determined to distinguish
everything that sound so foolish
me and team, yeen’ on fire
peep the game on judas
and its so hard
to keep your eyes on god
cos you know, you know in your heart
(it’s a sin)

still holding us back from the fact
matter fact i see the clarity
music is therapy for myself
and the evil ideas who here in me
some of its scaring me
cos i wonder to myself is they prepared to see
anything coming they have set
their propaganda as destiny

way things set up, got me fed up
safe to say that they stressing me
land of the free, home of the slaves
deception is the main recipe
you see its so hard
to keep your eyes on god
cos you know, you know in your heart
(it’s a sin)

[chorus:]
but we gon’ fight, city on the hill gon’ be that life
for them boys that’s (living in darkness)
we gon’ take the music and use it and never abuse it
for them people that’s (living in darkness)
living in a world full of lies ,boy open up your eyes
and see that we (living in darkness)
we gon’ take the music and use it and never abuse it
for them people that’s (living in darkness)

[verse 2: slave]
cos only, god can judge my sin is what i had to say for it
but my talks still cheap and i knew one day i had to pay for it
when i lost my pops, had to look around look at all i got
most of my friends are dead, in jail and the rest still posted on the block
knowing they giving aids to women, cos they caught this thing in prison
when i got this he forgot, feel remorse for the way he living
you see its so hard to keep your eyes on god
cos you know, you know in your heart (it’s a sin)

and it’s a fact, you know that late work is like iraq
you ain’t gotta be serving either way still get caught up in trials
if you don’t watch your back, peep game change cycles
don’t go psycho, cos you know that g*nius
is the verge of insanity see i don’t know what you plan to be
but i know that things stand for me. so i gotta keep living
even when its so hard, to keep my eyes on god
cos you know i know in my heart (it’s a sin)

[chorus:]
but i gotta fight, city on the hill gon’ be that life
for them boys that’s (living in darkness)
we gon’ take the music and use it and never abuse it
for them people that’s (living in darkness)
living in a world full of lies ,boy open up your eyes
and see that we (living in darkness)
we gon’ take the music and use it and never abuse it
for them people that’s (living in darkness)

[verse 3: slave]
peep the maker through his creation we waiting
tell me what’s the point of debating, who fake and
can you show me what is legit, as i try to live my life
when it comes to life what’s in the scripts
and it tells us that we fallen, nothing we can do
in and of ourselves to make us right with you
that got me thinking, matter fact it got me shrinking
cos i know in the back of my mind (it’s a sin)

but you handled that, took on death, dismantled that
put out the flame like big fingers on candle wax
i know it, i’ve vindicate and show it
see that proof is in your word, better look at this life the way things going
you start to see it see it, you know, seeing is believing
so everyday that we breathing, we gotta live for god
even when the road gets hard
cos we know in our heart (it’s a sin)

[chorus:]
but we gon’ fight, city on the hill gon’ be that life
for my brothers that’s (living in darkness)
we gon’ take the music and use it and never abuse it
for them people that’s (living in darkness)
living in a world full of lies ,boy open up your eyes
and see that we (living in darkness)
we gon’ take the music and use it and never abuse it
for them people that’s (living in darkness)
