Darq - One Lyrics

I heard this record growing up
We get our influences from all music
So, I wanted to put my twist on what this song means to me

One

There's a soldier in the trenches of the streets
No Bowie knife, no weapons
Stood defenseless, hopping over fences
Evading criminals, trying to do right by his
What type of life is this?
It's no way to live, so he strapped down
Running headfirst to the drama, refused to back down
He clapped back, now, he was viewed as weak
Now he's viewed on these motherf*cking streets
A source of heat, set fire to a motherf*cker
You know right not to try, motherf*cker
Keep the heat in the tucker
Won't hesitate to pull out, bring the beef to the bunker
The way of the soldier

Trapped in my mind
All of these memories, just (fade away)
Seems like this life's getting darker (every day, never lies)
Camera action (fade away)
I can't get away from this

Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness

He embarks on a new tour
He was cased up, rumbling
Him and his cellie was tussling
No money for a lawyer, got stuck with a PV
No money on his books and his Brody and cheese
Old head told him don't take no plea
He f*cked around, spanked out on technicality
Now he think he invincible cause he done beat a body
Til they caught him in the party, shot him in the gut
He locked up and only got shit bagged up
But he lost a lot of weight trying to get back up
Now he rethinking his life and all his bad decisions
Got his shit together but the streets ain't forgetting

Trapped in my mind
All of these memories, just (fade away)
Seems like this life's getting darker (every day, never lies)
Camera action (fade away)
I can't get away from this

Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness

On the streets he a veteran now, he done with that
But there's a couple victims trying to get back
He on the run, lost his legs on a train track
And now he numb below the knee, where the pain at
Wheelchair bound, no money for prosthetics
Plus found out that he was a diabetic
Stressed and depressed, homie wasn't eating right
And last summer lost his sight in the heat of night
Caught an infection in both of his arms
Doc put him to sleep, when he woke, they was both gone
Back in the day he was known as a super soldier
Now we call him shampoo, head and shoulders

Trapped in my mind
All of these memories, just (fade away)
Seems like this life's getting darker (every day, never lies)
Camera action (fade away)
I can't get away from this

Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness, imprisoning me
Darkness
Darkness
Darkness
Darkness
