Story Behind The Song
I was in a situation in my life where I no longer was facing my own demons but real life people who were plotting against my well being. I had to figure out how to get out, I no longer wanted to be used for my talents. In this experience I came to understand that it must be me who manifest my dreams, no one else.

Lyrics
I found myself in a dark place
Had to figure out how to get out of this space
It's a race for my life my lord please stay by my side
My mind is in a haze
I feel trapped inside a maze
It's nothing to be amazed
Insane in the brain don't believe me
Check my skills then you'll see
It's your blessing
It's my curse
It's a blessing but it hurts
Yeah the things you made me see
Made me trapped but now I'm free
And it still amazes me (Yeah)
I don't understand why I'm here on this earth
Every day is a battle against what I'm worth
I've been kicked to the dirt
So I roll and get high
And it still feels cold
Lord I'm needing your light
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your)
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your)
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your light)
Lord I need your
(Lord I need your light)
I need your light
To take flight do what's right
Fulfill my life
I tried it on my own
I couldn't make it happen
Desperate needs brings you desperate measures (yeah)
Left all that in the past
Never gonna swap it
I tried to be smooth
My life got rough
The pain in the boy
Disguised as a venom
Who would have known
If he followed his talents
Switch up his tactics
Kill off his habits
Of taking advantage
Of brothers with heart
Instead it's a curse
Preventing your shine
You're always gonna lose
Fulfilling the needs of the self
Fulfill all the needs of your brothers and sisters
And build your community
It starts from inside
Who cares about others
They care for themselves
I care for my God and my family
And anyone that ever looked out for me
Y'all eat with me and we all gonna shine
Feed our families for generations
Seeds of Abraham taking nations
I don't understand why I'm here on this earth
Every day is a battle against what I'm worth
I've been kicked to the dirt
So I roll and get high
And it still feels cold
Lord I'm needing your light
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your)
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your)
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your light)
Lord I need your
(Lord I need your light)
I found myself in a dark place
Had to figure out how to get out of this space
It's a race for my life my lord please stay by my side
My mind is in a haze
I feel trapped inside a maze
It's nothing to be amazed
Insane in the brain don't believe me
Check my skills then you'll see
It's your blessing
It's my curse
It's a blessing but it hurts
Yeah the things you made me see
Made me trapped but now I'm free
And it still amazes me (Yeah)
I don't understand why I'm here on this earth
Every day is a battle against what I'm worth
I've been kicked to the dirt
So I roll and get high
And it still feels cold
Lord I'm needing your light
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your)
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your)
Lord I need your light
(Lord I need your light)
Lord I need your
(Lord I need your light)
I found myself in a dark place
Had to figure out how to get out of this space
It's a race for my life my lord please stay by my side
My mind is in a haze
I feel trapped inside a maze
