Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's like
I been recordin' in the dark, it's like this the only way I can get this shit out
Huh, Before The Album

Yeah, recordin' in the dark (dark, yeah)
They'll never understand that I'm a man, and for a man, this shit get hard
Recordin' in the dark
I'm still standin' where I landed, but sometimes, I wish that I could walk on water
Recordin' in the dark
Some of my dogs ain't get to grow up
Through it all, I'm like the falcons, I still rose up
Recordin' in the dark (the dark, yeah)
I rap, so I bought chains, but I might give 'em back, can't let these people hold us
Recordin' in the dark

Part of me, won't let them be a part of me
Shit hard for me, not easy, I go hard, too many reasons
I don't know why you steady trippin'
But for why? I ain't even with you
And for why? To take care of my children
Fame and money, this shit'll get you
This shit kill me
I been wearin' this rap mask for so long, I can't even be the real me
I can't even talk about it, a lot of this shit, I keep it in me
And I still sin, but not like how I used to, God, forgive me (God)
And I love my kids to death, but I move cautious now with Jimmy
Why the fuck would I forgive you? (Why?), you don't care about my enemies (uh-huh)
You tryna take this shit away that I built to take care of my children
But I can't move off of revenge, I talk to God, then get it in
I'll tell 'em take my leg before I ever take the stand
Still outside with gun in hand
Palm, heater keep me warm, uh-huh
Tryin', but I don't know what I'm doin'
Tryin', but I don't know where I'm goin'
I don't care 'bout if they envy me, they enemy, no endin' me
I bet these folks remember me

Yeah, recordin' in the dark (yeah, yeah)
They'll never understand that I'm a man, and for a man, this shit get hard
Recordin' in the dark
I'm still standin' where I landed, but sometimes, I wish that I could walk on water
Recordin' in the dark
Some of my dogs ain't get to grow up
Through it all, I'm like the falcons, I still rose up
Recordin' in the dark (yeah, yeah)
I rap, so I bought chains, but I might give 'em back, can't let these people hold us
Recordin' in the dark
