Dilated Peoples, Vince Staples - The Dark Room lyrics

He plays guitar in Band X
In the same old formula as everyone else does
Why can't he break out? Once you
Check out all those rules
You can really start to explore music
Music, music, music

I felt emotions so deep
But my words got blocked
You see I never smoked before
So my nerves got shocked
I couldn't talk a word
But I could see the world
I mean everything became so clear
I didn't slur shit
I just kept quiet and made a note of it
Before the poetry is out the
Fire and I'm over it
Retire notably and every move's
A curtain call
Smooth with the groove so honey
Don't take it personal
I'm trying to make it out of dodge
Don't need to see the rainbows end
I need a lift before I'm looking
At the wall or great descent
I owe rent and love the months that got a 31
I miss Pun and only met him once
This is kettle chips and blunts, the funk
I'm on the road still, I'm on a cold bill
She got a coke body so ill
Pick the code to the lock
And all my people free
I found the road to the top behind the
So let's turn to chapter one
These are the hood parts
Life is make believe and death
Is when the book starts
I got good heart and ain't afraid to show you
At fifteen I shot a 22, now I'm older
I spill my sixteens and dip clean
This body grown up and clinging
To these kids dreams
I found a new feeling, I'mma chase it
A newfound town, a new scribe
You can't erase it
I done tried, I done tried, I done tried
I done tried you don't live till you die
Hell or home you decide
Near the flames of the fire
Near the flames of the fire
Near the flames of the fire
Near the flames of the fire
I done tried, I done tried
I done tried to survive
You don't live till you die
Hell or home you decide
Near the flames of the fire
Near the flames of the fire
Near the flames of the fire
Near the flames of the fire

I swam in oceans so deep
The models seem like dots
Something brushed up against my
Feet my insides dropped
Fought the panic and I swam to the top
The only non one-percenter member climbing
Back onto the yacht
It's a strange life, wonderful world
Process the pain right enact change
Sipping champagne the same night (blah)
Half disgusted, half delighted
Half divided on it i Robin Hood and I smile
Mad inside I'm haunted
But party to the break of dawn
Until the night is gone
In glass mansions they throw hard
Words like right and wrong
Intoxicating darkness but my light is on
These battle hymns ballad of
The freedom fighter song
Life chiseled into blocks
On the wall and into skin
Complicated ultimately
Only spare the innocent
Festivals we massacre
Hit the stage and snipe them from it
Kill in grimy clubs close and
Personal like knife to stomach
The code is in the DNA of the fan
Talking flashlight rips with DNA in the dam
Worldwide, running live-fire exercises
Flame throwing
Gasoline graffiti bombing, drop the joint
The names glowing that's burner redefined
Learn to read between the lines
The subtle hints and clues
The symbols and the signs
It's Rakaa Iriscience
Recognize the grand design
Making more move than just clock
Hands and sands of time
