Before the Dawn
INTRO R3D
Now I didn’t know,
How black my soul.
Then I feel the scratch on my back,
And it grows.
But I’m on a roll,
And I’m doin shows.
Now I got some names on my plate,
And they cold.
VERSE 1 R3D
Lookin' in at darkness face,
Catch my gaze my heart it race.
Now I’m thinkin' it’s a heartless phase,
Pedal to the metal with the farthest maze
Mind is a fog cloudy daze,
Like a fuckin' demon loose it plays.
Got me spinnin' in a fucked up craze,
Stickin' to the middle of my heart in pains.
Always seem to pick a path that is fast but resistance.
I can never seem to get back now this is crack,
Tell me what you witness.
Did you see the bad man wonder was he sad man?
I don’t know but I book it to the glad man.
Lookin' for the sun and I never seem to add man.
Put it all together just to realize it’s a,
BRAM! BRAM!
I just want to leave.....
Pen will come define me,
When it comes to my life I’m signee.
I can approach the Devil with kindly,
He never fights me but looks blindly.
Fearless not be thinkin' it likely,
'Cause he never fuck another that like me.
GO!
Demons they be lurkin' and I’m on patrol.
They can never keep up with my rock n roll,
Never gonna break it through the lock in soul.
Lookin' at my future yeah ya gotta know,
Never gonnna be another hotta flow.
With the features that I got I’m on a roll,
Grade a mother fucker I’m honor roll.
PRE-HOOK Krizz Kaliko
Take me away,
I wanna go higher.
I don’t wanna come down down down,
Down down down.
HOOK Krizz Kaliko
I try to get sleepy before the dawn,
But I’m on.
Need a sip to get rid of the shit I be trippin' on,
But it’s on.
It’s always darkest before the dawn,
Any darker then I might be,
Gone.
Take me away,
I wanna go higher.
It’s always darkest before the dawn,
Any darker then I might be,
VERSE 2 King ISO
Yeah I could give a fuck about whatever haters say,
But as far as blackin’ out I’m one shade away.
Hold up bring back in that 808 so I can beat the beat up and proceed to tell ‘em how I live my day to day.
It wasn’t a good day today,
But I’m in the kitchen anyway like I’m livin’ in the A did it the cater way.
To get the whole team straight ‘cause the majors ain’t,
Like a protein shake bitch I made a way.
And to make sure my babies great,
I’m giving capital punishment with a baby K.
‘Cause niggas had to be funny but do not laugh when the money gettin’ you lapped and I’m running you need a change of pace.
I threw a stack of some hundreds up in my baby safe,
I’m William Shakespeare when it comes to making plays.
You niggas playin’ but it ain’t a game.
I rock diamonds in Dallas getting lurked by your lady’s page.
Because what I considered failure it gave me fame,
My destiny since a child so they say my name.
Five times like I’m Candyman,
Then I appear giving them Major Payne but them two movies ain’t the same.
The way that I was driven to create a lane,
Had a nigga crashin' simple maybe plane get it?
Some had to go their separate ways because the lane could change,
To Tupac face to face with Baby Lane
You niggas may be gang related but you ain’t the gang,
You get a little fame and it can even make your lady change.
And wonder would she have been lead to you before the paper came,
And make you question everyone around you like you play charades.
I told my demons fuck a fade: I’d rather fade away,
Ironic how I gotta get crossed before I take away.
Everything adding up is it safe to say,
This might be my last day homie they can bank.
