Beauty In The Darkness

I haven't written for a minute I fell off the map

Seeking out a train to somewhere I can never catch

Spending time away from people don't know how to act

Moved away from home I always said I'm never going back

A friend of mine just lost her father to a heart attack

Never met the man, but stressing was a part of that

Finding happiness is tricky, proving hard to track

Beauty in the darkness and that's always been a part of rap

Beauty in the darkness that's always been a part of rap

Speaking out on touchy subjects hoping you can pardon that

Each emotion you can bet I got a scar for that

Paving through the pain that I have seen and find a bar to stack

The most relief I ever feel is when I start a track

Once I finish that I'm slipping back into a room that's black

One of the difficult things that I'm dealing with is envy

I got some guilt and some shame that I find I carry with me

I look around and see all these people who driving Bentleys

Feeling different than 'em and wonder sometimes if heaven sent me

To bring the pain to the surface I know that they're neglecting

Went down to Sunday service hoping I could find a blessing

Try to talk to God, but I got scared to open up his message

Losing sleep over asking if I have his acceptance

Moms a Christian my dad was always an atheist

Asking questions was never really a place for this

I turned to rap while the rest of the world was angry

With dealing with homophobic and racists with no emotion

I hate to say that I'm hopeless, but at the rate that we're going

Our race is soon to be over

Consuming and then disposing

With no respect for the oceans

God dammit the country's broken

We're dancing with drinking potion

The answers under our noses

Here's a reminder of something nobody sees

It's not guaranteed that we'll wake up after we fall asleep

My heart is deceased must of left it stuck in a beat

How are we fighting in this moment when we're lucky to breathe, please

I just don't understand

I just wish I could extract the love I feel from my fans

Reach my arms around the world and try to give out a hand

To all the people who gave up and only needed a chance

I see you slipping I can tell that you've been haunted

Thinking you been lost, but I know where your heart is

Tell me why, tell me why is your heart guarded

Can't you see all of the beauty in the darkness

I see you slipping I can tell that you've been haunted

Thinking you been lost, but I know where your heart is

Tell me why, tell me why is your heart guarded

Can't you see all of the beauty in the darkness

Show me, I see you slipping

Show me, thinking you been

Show me that there's beauty in the darkness

Show me, show me

Show me, show me

Show me that all the beauty in the darkness
