KING Karlemagne - Darkest Hour lyrics

[Intro] They couldn't break me When I had no power So I stayed strong In my darkest hour [Verse 1: KING Karlemagne] Damn, look at what my life's become Torn up as the napkin that I write this on Good guys finish last and I'm the nicest one It's why the bars are meaner as I recite this song I know the smell of the money got you excited, huh? Been on the hunt the green since my life begun And I'm still broke, no joke I'm tired of it son You want to learn about patience, then ask a lifer something They used to like me stunting, fast lane life you're wanting Heart cold as the floor that's right at the bottom Spent some time there, so yeah, man I know the feeling It was hell these past few years, now my soul is healing And what is so appealing's now I'm bolder even I gotta push through this pain, I'm like a soldier bleeding Like a mom in labor, we all want a savior Got myself when I need help, I don't want a favor [Hook: Matt Sallee] I was mad at the world before When nobody had my back Feeling lucked out on the floor And they left me where I sat But even your shadow leaves you When it's darkest out Yeah even your shadow leaves you In your darkest hour [Verse 2: KING Karlemagne] Imagine feeling alone, with nobody in sight Feeling you can do what they said wasn't possible twice I set goals for myself, worked and brought it to life If you though you had me beat, you were probably right Only I didn't quit went to China bought the work Idriss sold the the sh**, then he quit, boy that hurt And so I opened shop with my lady by side She stood by me so she maybe ride or die Closed the store, went to VA all depressed Without a dime, Jesus Christ what is next Factory — I worked the shift from the 6 to 6 Delivered food, just to get my sh** legit Truck driving, looking to build career CELTA cla**, then I put that to the rear Got my CELTA, it's back to China for the grind Whoever called me lazy must've lost his mind [Hook: Matt Sallee] I was mad at the world before When nobody had my back Feeling lucked out on the floor And they left me where I sat But even your shadow leaves you When it's darkest out Yeah even your shadow leaves you In your darkest hour [Verse 3: KING Karlemagne] I guess they wanted me stressed out, feeling bitter hurting But since they're all small minded I'll be the bigger person I bare it all like Winnie, prepared for sh** to worsen And I know I'm the toughest, cause I can lift the burden I call this rehearsing— I got a gift for certain Oh yeah, and I look good, it's why these chicks are smirking Give me a six with turbans, if it's equipped with curtains Every chick who's lurking, be in the whip to slurp him I'm like the new James Bond, just a different a version Cause there's melanin in my skin, like Idriss Elba I could've left here with your girl that's if I felt her Because if you're hot, well then this might melt her Hey, if Jesus was carpenter, then listen here I'll— Have her screaming out his name if I nailed her Then you might relate to my pain for now it's unfamiliar Foreign Exchanged part two, this one here realer [Hook: Matt Sallee] I was mad at the world before When nobody had my back Feeling lucked out on the floor And they left me where I sat But even your shadow leaves you When it's darkest out Yeah even your shadow leaves you In your darkest hour (2xs)
