2020 (Rapper)
Darker Than It Seems
[Verse 1: 2020]
Check your collection, your digital records, and tell me your findings on closer inspection
I bet you didn’t find a rapper like me
Intelligent enough to know they might see
Nothing but a bunch of former drunk scholars
Circulating past infected white dollars
Frightened and heightening tension and rioting, fightin' the vi-o-lent oppressed leviathans, trying to liken the answer to vitamins
(We are all equal man, there’s your enlightenment)
Yuh, yuh, I’ve seen it with my eyes, the yellow teeth
The fact that blacks are trapped is more than just belief
So I dive into the facts about our wealth
But first a break so I can figure out my path
Now psylocibin got me thinkin bout myself
Now my thinking is controlled by ego wrath
And I could excel
If I could repel
The scum of my brain
The bane and the spell
I thought I was light
I thought I was good
I failed to do right
You knew that I would
A lot of gossiping has kept my mind from blossoming and you will get the reference soon enough
My need for change is quickly softenin' and talent’s got me writing irrelevant stuff

[Hook: 2020]
Nobody like me
Nobody like me
Take a look around
There’s nobody like me
Indie baseball cap
Lotta broken dreams
Tainted crystal wrap
Darker than it seems

Nobody like me
Nobody like me
Take a look around
There’s nobody like me
Indie baseball cap
Lotta broken dreams
Tainted crystal wrap
Darker than it seems

[Verse 2: 2020]
So check your reflection, your own introspection, I reckon you’ll wreck it with fear and rejection
Just like me
(Uh)
Do you even like me, knowing this is all I might be
Infected like candida, colder than Canada, ripping your candidate, stranded like Manama
Animalistic, artistic, but chill
Fuck egotistic, I’ve gotten my fill
To hell with your party, this evil's a part of me, partly a fault of mine, so would you pardon me
And why even bother when she disregarded me, why would I wanna talk, she never wanted me
I guess the drugs are kickin' back in
Cuz I’ve been feeling like I’m really slackin'
People are dying, and wars they are starting, and bombers are flying, and protestors marching
But still I’m hung up on the fact that little moi
One of 7 billion’s feeling kinda blah
My brain, my soul, and pain a vain menage a toi
Fuckin' one another hard inside the
And I could be great
And praised in the states
A maker of peace, even beyond the grave
If I could just be
A little less trash
A little less garbage, and more unabashed
I thought I was nice
I thought I was pure
But after this life
I can’t be too sure

[Hook: 2020]
Nobody like me
Nobody like me
Take a look around
There’s nobody like me

Darker than it seems

Nobody like me
Nobody like me

There’s nobody like me

Lotta broken dreams
Tainted crystal wrap
Darker than it seems

Take a look around
There’s nobody like me
Indie baseball cap
Lotta broken dreams
Tainted crystal wrap
Darker than it seems

Nobody like me
Nobody like me
Take a look around
There’s nobody like me
Indie baseball cap
Lotta broken dreams
Tainted crystal wrap
Darker than it seems
