Given to Darkness

Driving along PCH like every other day

Where I’m gon’ goin’

I ain’t gots a clue or a thang to say

I sometimes wish I hadn’t a started this

Since then I’ve been given to darkness

I’m in love with that shit

That real life shit that you find in a dark alley

Doin’ that there drug-buyin’ switch

Makin’ it go off without a hitch

Never sayin’ shit to stay off the hit list

Covert ops n’ shit

Runnin’ in the night grippin’ that knife

Life in the darkness ain’t no fuckin’ life

But it’s still the only life for me

Cause’ I be tryin’ to see what’s goin’ on

Outside the realm of the man

Cuz’ I know down there’s mad jams

And emotions flowin’ and open

People be free down there and overwhere

That’s why I be a child of the night

Given to darkness as he takes flight

From the pains and strains of that motherfucking day

The sun gon’ set on PCH

I gun it for the stretch from uptown to main

It makes me feel alive inside my brain

In a world that I don’t belong in

I’m given to darkness

The world of shadows and elbows

Too close for comfort unearthed

When I don’ gon’ diggin’

For some uh that there truth

Under layers of light and proof

In the realm where I belong dude

Given to darkness and shifty-eyedness
