The Dark (feat. JAY-Z)

Sometimes I see some things that I shouldn't see;

simple patterns that are sitting right in front of me

Try to climb ever higher

try to get to the sky

and though I've been to the clouds

it's just a temporary high

Take time, I said now what you're trying to do,

if you're gonna see it through

it takes time

I said it takes some time to figure it out

Stay in line

But how do you follow it and cross it at the same time?

You just can't cross it

oh, no

I don't wanna say the things I have to say

who's to say that I'll ever say them at all?

Gotta be that, gotta get it with that act

Gotta wear the hat although it's all a mismatch

Squared circles, ran around the hurdles

I did everything, I thought there was a purpose?

Can somebody show me how to get in?

'Cause I can't figure out how to get in.

Can somebody show me?

I can't see in The Dark

Can somebody take me?

I can't stay in The Dark?

Will you Illuminate me on out of

The Dark?

Turning pages, turning corners,

turning into another

Turning into a song that's just like

every other

They say to get there

you already have to be there to start

How do you get there when you know it's what you need

in your heart?

Take time, I said now what you're trying to do,

if you're gonna see it through

it takes time

I said it takes some time to figure it out

Stay in line

But how do you follow it and cross it at the same time?

You just can't cross it

oh, no

I don't wanna say the things I have to say

who's to say that I'll ever say them at all?

Gotta be that, gotta get it with that act

Gotta wear the hat although it's all a mismatch

Squared circles, ran around the hurdles

'Cause I can't figure out how to get in.

Can somebody show me?

I can't see in The Dark

Can somebody take me?

I can't stay in The Dark?

The Dark?

No sound like this

Look what you made me do, look what I made for you

Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you

When you first come in the game, they try to play you

Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you

From Marcy to Madison Square

To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years

As fate would have it, Jay's status appears

to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye

When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5

It ain't to play games witchu

It's to aim at you, probably maim you

If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereeens

Cocksucker take one for your team

And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)

I came, I saw, I conquered

From record sales, to sold out concerts

Young did it to death, you gotta love it

Record companies told me I couldn't cut it

Now look at me, all star-studded

Golfer above par like I putted

All cause the shit I uttered, was utterly ridiculous

How sick is this? How sick is this?

I don't wanna say the things I have to say

who's to say that I'll ever say them at all?

Gotta be that, gotta get it with that act

Gotta wear the hat although it's all a mismatch

Squared circles, ran around the hurdles

I did everything, I thought there was a purpose?

Can somebody show me how to get in?

'Cause I can't figure out how to get in.

Can somebody show me?

I can't see in The Dark

Can somebody take me?

I can't stay in The Dark?

Will you Illuminate me on out of

The Dark?
