Analysis of Born in the Darkness
Born in the Darkness
You are new to the Dark
I was born in it
Hell marks all over my body
The darkness tried to kill me before I ever started
Zodiac Arises so you know I don't want no problems
But it's so lonely cuz I can't trust nobody
Got gold all over my body
Dredlocks my hair NGR I'm God bodied
Livening life off of logic
I get hate from everybody
All I wanted was see you prosper FAM
Mmmmhummm
I can still fell your hate
And your double cups still full of rage; hater aid.
I was born to survive
So strive
Never getting distracted While I'm on my wave
Never getting disappointed by the
Likes of ones like you cuz I was born in a world full of darkness and rage
Hell marks a over my soul and my body...
