Dark

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'll be gone like summer
I'll be here like rain
If I be on my expertise when it comes that day
When you're gone like summer
Or you're here like rain
If I be on my expertise, will you be back?

There was a movement in the sky this morning
The clouds tore open and started storming
On me, looking at the roof in this broken apartment
Why did you gaze? The walls started closing on me
I used to have an ol beat black guitar
I used to sleep in all of these trashy cars
I used to make the beats and spit the rap in the closet
Before anybody could hear what a rapper was
And now my food got no taste
And my room got no space
And my head got so big
But remember who you is
Don't remember when you switched but
It's dark out here, you better believe it
It is dark

I felt a hole and my soul is sleeving
I thought it would be different after I left treatment
I stood up to demon, mama, you should've seen it
Remember back when alex had no front teeth?
I do, I remember most of it, back before I shot my shot
Now I'm a ghost of it
Remember back when it was the four, I was feelin' like ghostbusters
Remember that? I ain't even know a democrat from a lump of Jack
Now I smoke sleeve politics, now I work on holidays
Now I work on all kind of things, now kids pin me up in living room in their mama's places
Man, I moved out my mama's place and then I bought my mom a place
Then I replaced my mama with a white bitch from the pala state
Then after she broke up with me, I became who my mama hates
I became my dad, I would break promises that I would make
To my favorite people, I cheat on my favorite bitch
And then I went on life through my teeth
Remember back when alex had no front teeth?

I don't remember shit
I don't have a good memory
You know, it's more like flashback
Yeah
That's what you have? Like flashes
Yeah, I have like a lot of brief flashes
What about babyhood? Any babyhood shit in the back of your head? Like, I don't remember nothing as a toddler, do you remember like
No
No? I figured as much, so you got my memory, it's too early a memory, I mean
Mom
What house do you remember? What's your first house you remember? 'cause I don't even remember
I remember
I remember your first house house, it was actually an apartment
I remember
