Looking Through Darkness
MC Guru
You know sometimes I be lookin through the darkness
Tryin to find the light
Tryin to do whats right, with all my might
Guru
Lookin through the darkness
Yeah Im lookin, lookin at you
Lookin through the darkness
I see you lookin at me, whatcha wanna wanna do?
Lookin through the darkness
Here we go. take a walk with me
Lookin through the darkness.
Check it out. now now. now now, now now
Now as I peer through the window of gloom, and everyday living
And all the hardships one faces, to make you give in
I dig more intensely, finding greater strength
A lot of heads is empty, Ive got a greater rank
Than MCs not aware of situations
Thatll force one to understand, true stipulations
Thou shalt not bite, thou shalt not front
Fake it if you want but for the battles Ive come, cause Im
Guru
Lookin through the darkness
Yeah, Im lookin out. lookin at you
Lookin through the darkness
Lookin at me, my style is free, do you wanna be?
For me this rap life is real life, I dont have to create
Some false image, to make the crowd get hyped
Too many children get the wrong message, from clowns that walk around
Hopelessly lost, thinkin that theyre the boss
Theyre in a daze, while dope MCs dont get the front page
Me — I try to channel my rage
As I travel through the city regularly
Turning the anger and frustration, straight into energy
Yes you will remember me as the brother who cared
To dare to step up, with his soul bared
But never fearing cause Ive got instructions
From Him, to go and fight the corruption so Im
Guru
Lookin through the darkness
Ive got to look through it. try to try to find the light
Lookin through the darkness
Uhh, maintainin.
My granddaddy always told me, to keep the light shining
So as my mic illuminates, you can feel the state that Im in
Thoroughly immersed in a verse, way more than hardcore
I endure, cause in myself, Im secure
Delivering syllables and selections with profound perfection
Comin back like the resurrection
In this session, Im professin, that those who dont
Hear and understand, never loved me, and so I planned
To take a stand, as one who is firmly focused
Plus Im mad worthy with words
I rock from East New York, all the way to the suburbs
The lightkeeper, knowledge seeker
I switch the stress thats on my mind
Into the voice that rocks your speaker
And I get deeper than the ocean when Im
Guru
Lookin through the darkness
Yeah. Im lookin through it
Lookin through the darkness
Aint nothing to it but to do it.
Gotta freak it, now let me freak it check it out
Lookin through the darkness
All my life
Lookin through the darkness.
Yeah, ohh yeah
Yo Im so ill, I go ill, when beats with jazz
Fill my need to express myself, like the blues I cant lose
Weak MCs, theyre seekin refuge
From my barrage, theres no rescue
Then I look through the madness, finding sanity
Im crazy alert, I never swim in vanity
I do this rap stuff every year
Aiyyo peace to my fam especially my man Premier as Im
