stephen the levite - the darkness lyrics
steve: what goes on in the darkness, in the spot-light
your an artist/ in day light at the job workin’ your
hardest/ when the lights on spread seed for the
harvest/ but when the lights off spill seed on the
carpet// righteousness like a light switch/ flip it on
and off when you wish, livin’ life as a hypocrite/ a
great actor a fake wit a mask/ your ashamed of the fact
your a slave to you master// it was subtle how you l-st
crept in/ started in your head, spreadin’ through your
bread like leaven/ age eleven exposure/ spark somethin’
dark in your heart burned ’til you got older// you were
born again, it was smolderin’/ zealous young buck,
throwin’ out stuff, you were bolder then/ the church
criticized, said “you’re too holy” then/ you began to
compromise, heads started noticin’// things changed
but, heart didn’t change much/ fan to the flame, l-st
ran through your brain much/ you messed up on occasion/
makin’ sure, it’s at least a week before, you were on
stage again/ you leave time for repentance/ sometimes
you might even mean it ’cause your sins ain’t
consistent/ but, you can’t lie it’s the most high you
rebel against/ sinnin’ wisely, hidin’ all your
evidence//
hook: you can’t hide in the darkness/ god sees all
actions and intents of the heart it’s/ gonna come to
the light/ so repent, be strong in the lord and in the
power of his might//x2
steve: i know another cat like you, you might know him
too/ matter of fact yo, his stories in the bible/ ever
read about samson/ nazarite since birth, crushed
anything he laid hands on// he had an issue with sin
too/ it crept in slowly, most didn’t notice what he
went through/ they get the story all twisted/
compromise started way before delilah, most of y’all
missed it// it begins in the vineyard/ rule number one
for the nazarite: no wine or vinegar/ even the grapes
are off limits/ eatin’ anything from the vine was a
breach in the commitment// he never should’ve got close
but/ now he’s put to the test when a young lion
approaches/ the spirit of the lord fell on him like an
adrenaline rush/ literally rippin’ the lion up// later
on he returned to the scene/ rule number three, all
dead bodies are unclean/ can’t touch ’em, i don’t care
how much you loved them/ if it’s carc-ss you must
regard it disgusting// but it’s not so with samson/ he
found bees and honey in the dead lion and stuck his
hands in/ then he shared with his parents/ sin seems
sweet when it’s secret so please be aware men//
hook
steve: you got a lot in common with samson/ hope it
ends there though, his story has a bad end/ though god
did much with him, he was still l-st driven/ had a
thing for revenge plus women// after about a thousand
and thirty dead philistines/ he finds the woman of his
dreams/ but she was schemin’/ bribed by her philistine
people, offerin’ a whole lot of cream and// before i
get to the point it should’ve hit you when i was going
through the rules earlier i skipped [#] two/ here it is
though, never bring a razor to your head bro/ nazarites
gotta let their hair grow// she enticed him, he told
her/ she sent for the lords of the philistines so they
came over/ while he slept she shaved him/ no longer
nazarite, lord’s gone, no one to save him// they put
his eyes out blindin’ him/ fetters of br-ss binding
him, and now he’s grindin’ in prison/ the pagans want
to play wit’ ’em/ so they sent him to the house of
dagon, but samson is prayin’// the lord avenges him,
pushes out the pillars in the buildin’/ three thousand
dead men and women/ but he went with them, like i said
it’s a bad endin’/ so how you gonna finish yours,
christian//
