[Verse: Xhef]
In the darkness where the eyes are
The spirits giving side bars
Venom from the shadows slow my steps down to crawls
I said them boys hang around when I'm ballin'
But when the sky flipped ground cracked never caught me I was fallin'
Said when there's a change of tempo it gets harder to remember
Went away in April and I woke up in September
In the ruins and remains of the battles that I fought
Went to war in thе dark see the ashes all autumn
The scars still bloody and thе wounds feel fleshy
Acting in the interest of my ego got messy
Put my back against the wall with nobody to protect me
It's the honesty that hurts and the love that's disrespecting
Stopped looking at the stars more I saw 'em in the news
Realigned my pen I was in and out of school
I was shifting attitudes had to reignite the fuel
Felt the storm brewing when my friends was playing fools
What brought me back from the dead was Verse 2 on AMONGDOOM
Threw myself back in the fire cause I always loved you
Making music eases stress
Its conversations with myself
I been aiming at the mark
Everyone should brace themselves
When the hand hits 12
I'm a creature delving deeper
Into hell coming back with postcards written in braille
I don't tell
It all hangs under my eyes
In my voice
First time I rapped "fields!", started to cry
Then I rejoiced
Look up and thank the Lord
The pen in my hand stronger than the shadows and their swords
And that's real
