I’m blinded by darkness
And snug fitness
That the block....god be my witness
Had brought me with the quickness

When I was young the block lead me to believe that I was poor
That the projects defined me more and more
It lead me to believe that I could never soar
Because the rain would always continue to pour
But I was determined to let sun shine and the rain to end it’s pour
To the core
I was not going to fail like they predicted, NOR
My race which I always continued to adore

When I looked around the block I saw man beat his wife
I belived this way of life
was right........SIKE!!!
Bang! Bang! I could hear the women scream from the fist of brothers alike
But this something I did NOT like
I wondered if they loved each other so why do they fight?
Why do I hear bones break when the man’s fist strike?
I was confused yet the block STILL lead me to think this way of life was right

As I walked the block I was introduced to my first gun
The block lead me to think robbing my own was fun
I was so far from the sun
The block was hot and it’s smoke was filling my lungs
Like a newborn child in its arms I hung
I was giving so much knowledge but left like a dinner table ......without that I had brung

The block was feigning for me and it’s sad to say but I was feigning for it
I wanted more and more until I had all the knowledge to get
The next tool it gave me was the knowledge to hit
The homes in the projects for everything except the grit
I was a flame and I was growing outrageously lit
The block was feeding me more and more of it’s bullshyt
And it seemed like in my world it was meant

I was blinded by the darkness
Thought my mind was the strongest
But in every means it was the weakest
Rocking the hottest and latest trends but little did I know it still wasn’t the bestest
Dodging the “right” to do the “wrong” with the quickness
I was the youngest and toughest thug mistress
I was known as the girl God misses
And God be my witness
I wasn’t handlin’ my business
Cause I was STILL blinded by darkness

The block was the bandit
The overall culprit
I believed everything it showed me and I did it
The friends I had then were also in on it
They feared me and did everything I did
BUT I WAS JUST A KID!!!!!!!
I didn’t know any better than what the block fed into my mind’s crib
Now that’s a fib
I knew but the block was my addiction, something I couldn’t rid
It was my darkness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so thick in color
That I was attracted to it like a fine @ss brother
It was like my father
The block was a thick layer
That lead me into a future reality barrier
The ultimate carrier
Of some blacked mascara
The darkness....

The darkness was so thick but like the bible said all darkness shall PASS
Although it didn’t come fast
I’m so glad that trouble don’t last
And just in case
I forget the time wasted
It will always be there for I will always taste it
And face it
In the surroundings I embrace it
Everyday in which I walk that same block I grace it
I was untied now I’m able to lace it
For I know the block lost the race for I raced it
I’m no longer blinded by darkness
 
in this day and age the streetz know they wrong
yet in a strange way they helped you grow strong
the things we don't experience we never acknowledge
it's like expecting a degree but not attending college
all these things you've seen made you a Queen at your best
and because you faced adversity you'll reign as Empress

Be Blessed and Sing that Song my Sista!!!
