Novi Novak
Before It's Light
[Chorus]

It's always darkest fore it's light
I think about it every night when I'm up til Five AM
Good life out of sight
Don't know if I'm prayin out of fear or I'm prayin for my life

That's just how it go
That's just how it go
That's just how it go
How it go O O O

That's just what I know
That's just what I know
That's just what I know
What I know O O

[VERSE 1]

So, Where do we start this off?
Do we start with the pain?
Do we quest through my walls to the halls
To the dungeon where your prolly gonna find me chained?
Where my blood rush and my heart fills
And my fight or flight say freeze
But I don't drop the knife or run for my life
Instead.. I... 'Pro'ceed
Can't you see?
I'm 'side tracked' in my 'mind trapped' so 'blind that' I'm lost
Just tryin to 'write raps' that'll 'fight back' that 'might tap' defrost
So that When I pray I'm thankful
And that's really when I feel it the most
And it's cold cuz I also feel I fear I might lose what I'm thankful for if I don't
So
Caught up in the blaze of all that weed smoke
In the haze of all that we know
When your Ego die and you Eagle eye
The world from a level that they don't I know
Everything look different
Characteristics they change
Even the way you evaluate the hate
Force the faith to shake every little bit of that pain
Like
What it is, how it works, where it stems from and its roots
And how can you cleanse, All the hurt, with out losin every little bit of your truth? huh?

[Chorus]

It's always darkest fore it's light
I think about it every night when I'm up til Five AM
Good life out of sight
Don't know if I'm prayin out of fear or I'm prayin for my life

That's just how it go
That's just how it go
That's just how it go
How it Go O O O

That's just what I know
That's just what I know
That's just what I know
What I know O O


[VERSE 2]

See I wonder what's it's like....
You know?
That echelon of life....
And havin all that dough Although
I know you gotta top it
If you wanna go and get it
But you gotta get it for it turn to Gold Dust
Hold up
Cuz even If you get it
With a little academic
There's a path that the man don't show us so I'm
Up late nights, on the brink of means, I just can't sleep
I keep, over thinkin' things
Like why they hate? As I keep countin these sheep!
And last week, I got paid, This week the check is gone
And I got another week before I get paid
So that's another week I gotta stay strong thinkin' on
All the people that I done wronged...
Is Karma comin to get me?
Or does it stay back cuz it knew all along
These people would never respect me?
I'm so The Opposite of found
As I cultivated my ignorance
And brought my Ego down to the ground
Still hopin for the Heights of Icarus

[Chorus]

It's always darkest fore it's light
I think about it every night when I'm up til Five AM
Good life out of sight
Don't know if I'm prayin out of fear or I'm prayin for my life

That's just how it go
That's just how it go
That's just how it go
How it go O O O

That's just what I know
That's just what I know
That's just what I know
What I know O O
