The Darkest Part (feat. Raekwon and Kid Sister) - Danger Mouse/Black Thought/Raekwon/Kid Sister

Shine the light into the darkest part of me

All around you find the one thing they can't see

Though they say

They'll take your pain

Don't give it away oh oh

Yo I'm like Thelonious at the underground piano

Dressed in camo the grenades guns and ammo

Death to Sambo send him a bouquet and a candle

I came to take back that other two-fifths of a man so

From a silhouette standin' in the aperture

To a figurehead standin' in the path of a killer

Young gorilla just scramblin' for Africa

Crept and will accept nothing but a massacre

Premonition of intuition is a *****

Got a message from the heavens

All it said is to be this

Keep it brief like a elevator pitch

Or delegate a switch 'cause the spirit is a snitch

In America the rich love to wear it on their wrist

They call the shots they don't wear it on they hip

Jinglin' of the chains I can still hear it on the ship

One hand loads the clip feel the rubber on the grip

Me and my reflection sendin' one another on a trip

I'm under 21 and bent now you know what punishment listen

It ain't a easy odyssey for you to follow me

We do kinesiology with no apologies

Shine the light into the darkest part of me

All around you find the one thing they can't see

Though they say

They'll take your pain

Don't give it away

The deeper the breath the louder the scream oh oh

I cower between the two monsters out of my dream

A Cadillac a Limousine an anti-n***a machine

And if I wake up alive I bet they woke up clean

Umpteen times the warning signs went unseen

To me they done something they tried to clip my wings

But not before I understood how any caged bird sings

The soul was something before we became earthlings

Freedom is better than heroin morphine or methadone

They force-feed their fears into our flesh and bone

Inside of my confessional I decompress alone

I'm more skeptical of followin' the metronome

I guess technically I'm on another echelon

It just gets to me the way they lay the pressure on

It ain't a easy odyssey for you to follow me

We do kinesiology with no apologies

Shine the light into the darkest part of me

Right right right

All around you find the one thing they can't see

Though they say talk your talk

They'll take your pain n***a let's go n***a

How that **** go

Boy grown hands like Roy Jones

King Tut bracelet on encrusted flooded in stones bro

Hardest and the sharpest

Merge like three-bedroom apartments

Pick one room they all boom let me start this

My art retarded kids the arsonist and ostrich

The moon is the part we been partners ****

Say no other we the jungle brothers out in Kenya

How we did in December loadin' them cartridges

The lines is like nines P8 between babies

Word to mama poor llamas paper we seein' crazy

Louis Rich he the drummer

Thoughts from the black boy boy mama call ya

See the numbers stay maxin' and relaxin'

Chump jewelry in 2020 seven Hummers pursuing

I seen your stunters gettin' busy on the bridge

Headed out fleein' your d**e dealer

Stop wasting time take some shine

Shine the light into the darkest part of me

All around you find the one thing they can't see

Though they say

They'll take your pain

Don't give it away oh oh
