The Darkness Lyrics

Stephen The Levite The Darkness

Steve: What goes on in the darkness, in the spot-light
your an artist/ in day light at the job workin' your
hardest/ when the lights on spread seed for the
harvest/ but when the lights off spill seed on the
carpet// righteousness like a light switch/ flip it on
and off when you wish, livin' life as a hypocrite/ a
great actor a fake wit a mask/ your ashamed of the fact
your a slave to you master// it was subtle how you lust
crept in/ started in your head, spreadin' through your
bread like leaven/ age eleven exposure/ spark somethin'
dark in your heart burned 'til you got older// you were
born again, it was smolderin'/ zealous young buck,
throwin' out stuff, you were bolder then/ the church
criticized, said "you're too holy" then/ you began to
compromise, heads started noticin'// things changed
but, heart didn't change much/ fan to the flame, lust
ran through your brain much/ you messed up on occasion/
makin' sure, it's at least a week before, you were on
stage again/ you leave time for repentance/ sometimes
you might even mean it 'cause your sins ain't
consistent/ but, you can't lie it's the Most High you
rebel against/ sinnin' wisely, hidin' all your
evidence//

Hook: You can't hide in the darkness/ God sees all
actions and intents of the heart it's/ gonna come to
the light/ so repent, be strong in the Lord and in the
power of His might//x2

Steve: I know another cat like you, you might know him
too/ matter of fact yo, his stories in the bible/ ever
read about Samson/ Nazarite since birth, crushed
anything he laid hands on// He had an issue with sin
too/ it crept in slowly, most didn't notice what he
went through/ they get the story all twisted/
compromise started way before Delilah, most of y'all
missed it// it begins in the vineyard/ rule number one
for the Nazarite: no wine or vinegar/ even the grapes
are off limits/ eatin' anything from the vine was a
breach in the commitment// he never should've got close
but/ now he's put to the test when a young lion
approaches/ the Spirit of the Lord fell on him like an
adrenaline rush/ literally rippin' the lion up// later
on he returned to the scene/ rule number three, all
dead bodies are unclean/ can't touch 'em, I don't care
how much you loved them/ if it's carcass you must
regard it disgusting// but it's not so with Samson/ he
found bees and honey in the dead lion and stuck his
hands in/ then he shared with his parents/ sin seems
sweet when it's secret so please be aware men//

Steve: You got a lot in common with Samson/ hope it
ends there though, his story has a bad end/ though God
did much with him, he was still lust driven/ had a
thing for revenge plus women// After about a thousand
and thirty dead Philistines/ he finds the woman of his
dreams/ but she was schemin'/ bribed by her Philistine
people, offerin' a whole lot of cream and// before I
get to the point it should've hit you when I was going
through the rules earlier I skipped [#] two/ here it is
though, never bring a razor to your head bro/ Nazarites
gotta let their hair grow// she enticed him, he told
her/ she sent for the lords of the Philistines so they
came over/ while he slept she shaved him/ no longer
Nazarite, Lord's gone, no one to save him// they put
his eyes out blindin' him/ fetters of brass binding
him, and now he's grindin' in prison/ the pagans want
to play wit' 'em/ so they sent him to the house of
Dagon, but Samson is prayin'// the Lord avenges him,
pushes out the pillars in the buildin'/ three thousand
dead men and women/ but he went with them, like I said
it's a bad endin'/ so how you gonna finish yours,
Christian//
