Darkest Hour Lyrics

All them lonely nights when I'm mad at me

I was all alone, I would cry myself to sleep

But then I saw redemption in the sky

In my darkest hour, no one came for me

Weight was on my shoulders and the pain was so deep

But I never gave up, and now I'm gonna fly

Used to never be the one who would commit

Straddling the fence, so there's nothing to defend

Used to think it made me clever, gave the upper hand

Now I see it made me suffer, made me understand

All this time I couldn't learn to be a better man

Used to feel my opposition didn't want to win

And I still had dreams, gave it no attempt

Then I took it out on friends, started blaming them

Not considered level-headed was the one upset

Over any little thing that showed me disrespect

Thought I had to make it even had to get revenge

And retaliation escalated in advance

Ay I heard it through the vine, heard they had a plan

So before they even did it, I was getting them

I was adamant about how I was innocent

In the end was the one who let the evil in

All them lonely nights when I'm mad at me

I was all alone, I would cry myself to sleep

But then I saw redemption in the sky

In my darkest hour, no one came for me

Weight was on my shoulders and the pain was so deep

But I never gave up, and now I'm gonna fly

Look, you can never give it up, you gotta fight for life

Never trust yourself alone with a couple dice

You should leave the wine alone and dump that cup of strife

It'll only keep you down when you're meant to fly

Trust me, I don't want to see you hurt, no

Good or bad, you're gonna get what you deserve though

And I'd rather see you come out with a positive

Even if it means accepting all the consequence

I was everything and more than what they thought I was

Had to get myself together, that's what a father does

And I learned that from the earthly and the one above

I guess it truly is a blessing to be under us

We keep pushing through the fire call it self-esteem

And the world is growing colder, so we gotta dream

We take ownership and own it like apostrophe

They're afraid to carve it out, let it polish me

All them lonely nights when I'm mad at me

I was all alone, I would cry myself to sleep

But then I saw redemption in the sky

In my darkest hour, no one came for me

Weight was on my shoulders and the pain was so deep

But I never gave up, and now I'm gonna fly

Said redemption isn't lost, I know it through and through

Did I mention I'm a boss or did you just assume

I can feel the people watching, walking in the room

Hey, I told them I would blossom now I gotta bloom

I'm a different type of rapper, I don't want the moon

Put their verses in a casket, 'cause their time is through

Said we all rappers now, but there's fewer true

There's a whole lot of rats in the sewer too

But I'm getting off of that and now I'm moving on

Said I'm headed to the top, you couldn't tag along

I'm a thorough bred king from an average home

I never had it too bad, but I felt alone

And I know there's plenty of them that can feel like me

So grab a plate, cutlery, and have a meal of me

We're not ever looking back right where we're supposed to be

You can guarantee I'm bringing all them close to me

All them lonely nights when I'm mad at me

I was all alone, I would cry myself to sleep

But then I saw redemption in the sky

In my darkest hour, no one came for me

Weight was on my shoulders and the pain was so deep

But I never gave up, and now I'm gonna fly
