Chords for Mic Righteous - Darkness (music video)

[Fm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] Darkness, _ _ hold me
My nightmares, _ [Fm] [Bb] won't go to [Fm] sleep
I [Eb] dive in, [Dm] to the [Cm] cold sea
[Fm] I [Cm] try to swim, [Dm] but [G] [Ab] don't breathe
[Fm] _ [Eb] Dark, _ [D] _ _ [Cm] _
[Fm] my [Eb] nightmares [C] won't go [Fm] to sleep
_ [Eb] I dive [Dm] in, to the [Cm] cold sea
[F] I try [Cm] to swim, [Dm] but don't breathe
[Fm] Hey yo, [Eb] if only I could meet the old [Dm] me
I say little [Cm] bro, there's so much that you don't [Fm] see
[Cm] So many people around that you don't [Dm] need
[G] I'd reach out and [D] tell them what they never told me
The [Gm] people that you roll with ain't even your [Dm] broskis
Just a bunch of [Cm] leeches, they eat off you [Fm] slowly
[Eb] No I won't preach, proceed to roll [Gm] deep
I know you keep your friends [D] close, but your family don't [Fm] speak
They're in [Cm] reality, they're managers, coke [Dm] fiends
They gradually grow [Cm] weak, and if casual knows [Fm] bleed
But hang [Cm] with that whole team, cause yeah they're [D] scumbags
But in that bag of man there's a [Fm] handful of OG's
And me and them will [Cm] teach you to stand on your own [Dm] feet
Cause you're the one [Cm] person in life that won't [Fm] leave
You're the one [Cm] person in life that won't [Dm] know
I [Gm] know you're so broke, some [Fm] evenings you don't eat
No evenings on cold [Eb] meat, it's scary with no [Dm] heat
And keeping you [Cm] cozy, no parents it's so [Fm] peak
I tell them keep [Eb] scheming and dreaming with no [Dm] sleep
And just be prepared to tear up the whole [Fm] scene
And don't worry when [Cm] there's an OP, believe it or not
Right now I'm wearing a [Fm] rollie
And young [Cm] G no need to smoke [D] weed
You'll take your first toke, your [Fm] face will go green
So I know you [Cm] better than I could ever know [Dm] me
I'll roll with you [Cm] better than you could ever roll
[Fm] She don't even try, every [Cm] week I'll be buying her [Gm] OTs
Applying to O [Fm] Street, you'll practice them don't be
[Cm] So naive, so sweet and so [Dm] innocent
For someone that came [Cm] from a bloodline so [Fm] militant
The [Cm] siblings don't give a shit, they own their own [D] businesses
Nobody wants to get old and told that they show [Fm] ignorance
So [Cm] say no thanks and yes [D] please
Tell them life's [Cm] a game, you're only the chess [Fm] piece
Hold up your head [Cm] bro, you know that it gets [Gm] peak
When it does pick up the [Fm] pen and flow like a MC
I'll roll [Ab] _ _ [D] _ _ [Cm] _
[Fm] my night [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ to the [Cm] cold sea
[Fm] I'll try [Ab] _ [Fm] but don't breathe _
_ [Cm] Cause you're the boy and I'm the [Dm] man
And that hairline [Cm] don't hold up, enjoy it while you [Fm] can
I know you [Cm] think about the future and go guarantee
[Fm] Nothing's guaranteed, a wise man won't worry over the choice he doesn't have
And [Eb] that's the only thing we can [Dm] accept
None of us are [Cm] getting our money back when we're [Ab] dead
Just be the best you for when you have a [Dm] family
I know you're [Gm] scared of having [D] kids cause all the shit you had to [Fm] see
It just had to [Eb] be to invent the man you [Dm] see
Be a better [C] man than your daddy could ever [Fm] be
And then you'll [Eb] understand why your daddy had to [F] leave
Cause when plan A [Fm] fails, man go back to B
Back to the [Eb] agony, it's average as the [F] pain
Act in the kitchen, [Cm] act to stop him slashing up his [Fm] veins
Break the shackles and the [Cm] chains, carry on the [D] same
For the charge he's carrying so we can carry on your [Fm] name
I _ know you want a family [Cm] but you're married to the [Fm] game
Couple women in your [Eb] way, that you cannot [D] save
And when that train passes, give the hand [Fm] away
Know nothing [Eb] matters when you're hanging around her [Dm] ends
Banging with your [E] man, damn, hanging around your [Fm] friends
But your sister got the woody boy and found him hanging, now he's dead
Now he's just ashes and you got him hanging round your neck, yeah
[Ab] And you'll never be [D] forgotten, heart as heavy as the [Cm] coffin
If I could meet the old [Fm] me, would I even get the [Eb] acknowledgement?
When he's the one [D] responsible for the knowledge I wanna give, I probably wanna [Fm] kiss ya
Give a little [Eb] smile, say sorry [Fm] I wasn't with her
You survived the [Cm] suicide and brought the stack for your sister
Now roll a spliff and put in all the pressure to your [D] pen up in the Rizzler
And then blow it out the window like a [Fm] winner
Time is [Cm] something that you cannot [Dm] redeem
So go and [Cm] beat with your family, G
[Fm] Even if you're having [Eb] beef with Conley, fam, and complete
[G] Yeah, your family's mean but [Fm] they don't know what family means
We can't even have a [Eb] gathering, more for family [Dm] beef, no
Family [Cm] meals where the whole family [Fm] eats
So if you ever plan to [Eb] get this family back on it's [Gm] feet
It's through them bars that you [Fm] drop
That fire that is better than the scars that you [Eb] got
[Dm] Be the star on the [C] top of your family [Fm] tree
The anger [Eb] inside of you is bad for the [Dm] cheat
I know you're handling your shit because it happened to [Fm] me
Don't _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] go slow
_ _ [Eb] _ [Cm] _ _ Don't seek [Fm] I'll try
[C] I [Fm] don't think
I'm dyin'
_ _ [Ab] Oh, [Fm] I'm cryin' _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ Darkness, [Cm] _ [Fm] _ [Cm] all day, a nightmare on [Fm] God's face
A [Cm] nightmare to the ghost in, [Fm] a [Cm] trice where [Fm] the dawn breaks
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
