Kardinal Offishall
Reaching Through The Darkness
[Intro: Jean Terrell]
Faithfully reaches out for dreams
Just like me
Reaching through the darkness
Glorious is a day breaking in
Just like Him
Breaking through the darkness
[Verse 1: Kardinal Offishall]
Ayo, material I write could dry the tears (Tears)
Of a thousand peers (Peers)
For a thousand years (Years)
And a thousand cheers
Won't erase my fears (Yah)
I'm better off livin' life where Jesus is (Is)
Not a atheist, but them Christian kids (Kids)
A little too judgemental about my sins (Yeah)
And I aim to win, but I miss the mark
Paul, Peter and Joseph when I depart
But I follow my heart without any disguise (Yeah)
Blood drippin' from my sleeve cos my heart don't see that Intentions are covered with smiles and positivity
Behind the fake is a snake that could murder me (Murda)
Life's filled with things you never heard of
Been tryna get it since n***as was readin' Word Up! (Word Up)
Struggles that I been through make the average man curl up
Godson coming grandma saying "Hurry up" (Yeah)
[Hook: Jean Terrell]
Faithfully reaches out for dreams
Just like me
Reaching through the darkness
Glorious is a day breaking in
Just like Him
Breaking through the darkness
[Verse 2: Kardinal Offishall]
Ayo, scriptures I spit they be glossy in nature
Themes that I dream in my mind might save ya
I am no savior, seen as an ambassador
Dancing round the bull with a cape like a matador
