The Dark Room

[Verse 1:]

I felt emotions so deep, but my words got blocked

You see i never smoked before so my nerves got shot

I couldn't talk a word, but i could see the world

I mean everthing 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 im over it

Retire notably and every moves a curtain call

Smooth with the groove so honey dont take it personal

Tryna make it out of dodge for me to see the rainbows end

I need a lift before im looking at the wall of great decent

I owe rent and love the months that got it thirty one

I miss pun and only met him once

This is kettle chips and blunts, the funk

Im on the road still im 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, tree

Lets turn to chapter 1 this is all the hood parts

Life is make believe and death is when the book starts

I got a good heart and ain't afraid to show you

At fifteen i shot a 22, now im older

I spill my sixteens and dip clean

This body grown up an' clinging to these kids dreams

I found a new feeling ima chase it

A new found town a new scribe you can't erase it

[Hook - Vince Staples (x2):]

I done tried, I done tried

I done tried, I done tried

You dont live til you die

Headed home you decide

Near the flamse of the fire

Near the flames of the fire

Near the flames of the fire

Near the flames of the fire

[Verse 2:]

I swam in oceans so deep the models seem like thot's

Something brushed up against my feet my insides dropped

Fought the panic and i swam to the top

The only nine one-perceter memember climbing back onto the yacht

Strange life wonderful world process the pain right

In that chain sippin' champagne the same night

Half disgusted half delighted half divided on it

I robbin hood it and i i smile mad inside im haunted

I party til the break of dawn until the night is gone

In glass mansions they throw hard words like right or wrong

Intoxicating darkness but my light is on

These battle hymns ballade of the freedom fighter song

Life chisseled into blocks, on the wall and in the scared

Complicated unltimatly only spare the innocent

Festivals we massacre hit the stage and sniper from it

Kill in grimy clubs close and personal life knife to stomach

The code is in the DNA of the fan

Talk the flash light rips with DNA in the dan

World wide runnin life fire exercises flame thrower

Gasoline graffiti bomb it drop the joint

The names glowing thats burner re defined

Learn to read between the lines

The subtle hints and clues the symbols and the signs

Its rocky horror signs recognise the grand design

Making more move than just clock hands and sands of time
