Words by Danny Singer 1998

"Facing The Light"

Yo, I walk the majestic mainline

right up to the heavenly gates,

face the moment of truth,

the matrix of my faith awaits,

something comes to mind,

thoughts I must alleviate,

researching my past time,

one must contemplate

questions of curiosity

What did the almighty create?

Did I march the righteous road?

Or did I let hate infiltrate?

An eye for an eye when snakes approach

at critical times I’ll state I took the bait

making extreme choices- at least I wasn’t a fake

Through my optical lenses

I see the strong presence

gates begin to open,

behavior hesitant

surrounded by a strong aura,

almost militant,

reality never so dear,

a god sent present.

Flashbacks hit my dome like a motion picture

Can you picture ancient scriptures off a filmstrip?

Vivid images make my brain cells trip

injection of my memory like bullets in a clip

So I use my magnum mind and unload some serious shit

with the number one voice at my fingertip

listening sharp as a knife

open up the x-Files to my life

Was it trife? Like some cats I wish I had nine,

so I shout- What about the crime? What happened to the lost time

as we approach 1999? Is everything fine? cause my paranoia’s reaching

an all time high. When will I die?

What valuable moments can I stop from passing me by?

How can I see through the ultimate lie?

Do you imply that getting high only leaves my progress to fry?

Is there ever a right time to cry?

Can you elevate my present situation so I can fly?

factors are relevant so I must ask why?

fill in this hole, my minds eye needs a reply.

So much to absorb,

awaiting my answers from the lord

maybe I expect too much in time so short

and with the blink of an eye the old wise one began to retort

Keep ya mind, body,and soul strong like a fort,

on this mission refuse impurities and don’t abort,

expand your knowledge, and don’t get judged in a court

repel ignorance, accept wise words of any sort,

recognise demons ‘cause they use you as a host to bedevil more

Never take a good day for granted ‘cause it’ll hurt hard to the core.

What goes around comes around, ya create the products in store.

Don’t disturb your anxieties, cause your emotions will start a mental war.

Go before you make your next move, make sure you have a plan and know how to score.

But right now it’s not your time to walk through this door.

The gap is filled,

now there’s wisdom in my kingdom,

I see the difference of those who lost and won,

it doesn’t pay to be blind, deaf, or dumb.

Especially since we’re the gods of the young,

the bee stung with this information,(the truth hurts)

making me numb like ten shots of rum,

amount of value equivalent to a ton,

now I truley know where I’ve gone and whereI’m from.
