Black Thought, Raekwon, Danger Mouse, Kid Sister - The Darkest Part lyrics

Shine the light into the darkest part of me
All around you
Find the one thing they can't see
Though they say
They'll take your pain
Don't give it away

Yo
I'm like Thelonious at the underground piano
Dressed in camo, the grenades, guns, and ammo
Death to Sambo
Send him a bouquet and a candle
I came to take back that
Other two-fifths of a man
So
From a silhouette standin' in the aperture
To a figurehead standin' in the
Path of a killer
Young gorilla just scramblin' for Africa
Crept and will accept nothing but a massacre
Premonition of intuition is a bitch
Got a message from the heavens
All it said is to be this
Keep it brief like an elevator pitch
Or delegate'll switch 'cause the
Spirit is a snitch
In America
The rich love to wear it on they wrist
They call the shots
They don't wear it on they lip
Jinglin' of the chains
I can still hear it on the ship
One hand loads the clip
Feel the rubber on the grip
Me and my reflection sendin' one
Another on a trip
I'm under twenty-one and bent, now
You know what punishment
Listen
It ain't an easy odyssey for
You to follow me
We do kinesiology with no apology

Shine the light into the darkest part of me
All around you
Find the one thing they can't see
Though they say
They'll take your pain
Don't give it away

Yo
The deeper the breath, the louder the scream
I cower between the two monsters
Out of my dream
A Cadillac, a limousine
An anti-nigga machine
And if I wake up alive
I bet they woke up clean
Umpteen times, the warning signs went unseen
To me, they done something
They tried to clip my wings
But not before I understood how
Any caged bird sings
The soul was something before
We became earthlings
Freedom is better than heroin, morphine
Or methadone
They force-feed their fears into
Our flesh and bone
Inside of my confessional, I decompress alone
I'm more skeptical of
Following the metronome
I guess technically, I'm on another echelon
It just gets to me the way
They lay the pressure on
It ain't an easy odyssey for
You to follow me
We do kinesiology with no apology

Shine the light into the darkest part of me
(Right, right, right)
All around you
Find the one thing they can't see
(Start the wave, God)
Though they say
(Talk your talk, nigga, let's go, nigga)
They'll take your pain (How that shit go?)

Boy grown, hands like Roy Jones
King Tut bracelet on, encrusted
Flooded in stones
Bro
Hardest and the sharpest
Merge like three-bedroom apartments
Pick one room, they all boom
Let me start this
My art retarded, kids
The arsonist and ostrich
The moon is the part, we been partners, shit
Say no other, we the jungle brothers
Out in Kenya, how we did in December
Loadin' them cartridges
The lines is like nines, PA to [?] babies
Word to mama, poor llamas
Paper we seein' crazy
Louis Rich, he the drummer
Thoughts from the black boy, boy
Mama call ya
See, the numbers stay maxin' and relaxin'
Chump jewelry and 2020 seven Hummers
I seen your stunters gettin'
Busy on the bridge
Headed out fleein', [?] stop wasting time
Take some shine

Shine the light into the darkest part of me
All around you
Find the one thing they can't see
Though they say
They'll take your pain
Don't give it away
