[00:00.00]Looking Through Darkness - Guru
[00:03.23]You know sometimes I be lookin' through the darkness
[00:05.75]Tryin' to find the light
[00:08.28]Tryin' to do what's right with all my might
[00:12.59]Lookin' through the darkness
[00:16.03]Yeah I'm lookin' lookin' at you
[00:18.62]Lookin' through the darkness
[00:21.18]I see you lookin' at me hatcheck want to do
[00:24.59]Lookin' through the darkness
[00:26.13]Here we go take a walk with me
[00:36.18]Now as I peer through the window of gloom
[00:38.33]And everyday living
[00:39.83]And all the hardships one faces to make you give in
[00:42.85]I dig more intensely finding greater strength
[00:45.71]A lot of heads is empty
[00:47.32]I've got a greater rank
[00:48.77]Than emcees not aware of situations
[00:51.28]That'll force one to understand true stipulations
[00:54.51]Thou shalt not bite
[00:56.06]Thou shalt not front
[00:57.56]Fake it if you want but for the battles I've come
[00:59.91]'Cause I'm
[01:00.58]Lookin' through the darkness
[01:02.32]Yeah I'm lookin' out lookin' at you
[01:06.65]Lookin' through the darkness
[01:07.85]Lookin' at me my style is free
[01:10.71]Do you want be
[01:12.22]For me this rap life is real life
[01:14.13]I don't have to create some false image
[01:16.06]To make the crowd get hyped
[01:18.13]Too many children get the wrong message
[01:19.92]From clowns that walk around
[01:21.71]Hopelessly lost thinkin' that they're the boss
[01:24.14]They're in a daze
[01:25.34]While d**e emcees don't get the front page
[01:27.91]Me I try to channel my rage
[01:30.30]As I travel through the city regularly
[01:33.22]Turning the anger and frustration straight into energy
[01:36.72]Yes you will remember me as the brother who cared
[01:40.21]To dare to step up with his soul bared
[01:42.97]But never fearing 'cause I've got instructions
[01:45.50]From him to go and fight the corruption so I'm
[01:48.90]Lookin' through the darkness
[01:50.71]I've got to look through it
[01:53.72]Try to try to find the light
[01:54.98]Lookin' through the darkness
[01:56.38]Uh maintainin'
[02:00.13]My granddaddy always told me to keep the light shining
[02:03.92]So as my mic illuminates
[02:05.12]You can feel the state that I'm in
[02:06.97]Thoroughly immersed in a verse
[02:08.48]Way more than hardcore
[02:10.03]I endure 'cause in myself I'm secure
[02:13.10]Delivering syllables and selections
[02:14.61]With profound perfection
[02:16.66]Comin' back like the resurrection
[02:19.24]In this session I'm professin'
[02:20.92]That those who don't
[02:21.71]Hear and understand never loved me
[02:23.87]And so I planned
[02:25.07]To take a stand as one who is firmly focused
[02:28.58]Plus I'm mad worthy with words
[02:30.23]I rock from east New York
[02:31.89]All the way to the suburbs
[02:33.58]The light keeper knowledge seeker
[02:36.28]I switch the stress that's on my mind
[02:37.79]Into the voice that rocks your speaker
[02:40.11]And I get deeper than the ocean when I'm
[02:42.88]Lookin' through the darkness
[02:46.00]Yeah I'm lookin' through it
[02:48.89]Lookin' through the darkness

[03:06.55]Yo I'm so ill I go ill when beats with jazz
[03:09.46]Fill my need to express myself
[03:11.54]Like the blues I can't lose
[03:13.51]Weak emcees they're seekin' refuge
[03:15.75]From my barrage there's no rescue
[03:18.61]Then I look through the madness finding sanity
[03:21.62]I'm crazy alert I never swim in vanity
[03:25.14]I do this rap stuff every year
[03:27.50]Aiyyo peace to my fame especially my man
