Drowning in Darkness

when my world was crashing all around me all my hope was gone

i was drowning in darkness barely hanging on

out of shadows you appeared and helped me breath again

so when it all goes to back i wont start to fall

cause i can find you in the shadow

(Eminem)

I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Haile on a swing

She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing

"You're making mommy cry? Why? Why is mommy crying?

Baby, daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying?

"You always say that, you always say this is the last time

But you ain't leaving no more, daddy, you're mine"

She's piling boxes in front of the door, trying to block it

"Daddy please, daddy don't leave, daddy, no stop it!"

Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket

It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe daddy, take it witcha'"

I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror

These stinkin' walls must be talking, ?cuz man I can hear 'em

They're saying, "You got one more chance to do right

And it's tonight, now go out there

And show'em that you love 'em fore it's too late?

And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door

It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on

when my world was crashing all around me all my hope was gone

i was drowning in darkness barely hanging on

out of shadows you appeared and helped me breath again

so when it all goes to back i wont start to fall

cause i can find you in the shadow

(Lil' Wayne)

Okay, I'm talkin' about a

Good girl, gone bad

Crooked world, wrong path

Right Mom, wrong Dad

I sing this song mad, but not mad enough to shoot you

But it just eats me up, like some bbq from Luther's

In the mornin' with the roosters

On the corner with the boosters

And she's the freshcut and they're on her like sutures

And I wanna talk to her

But her Mama has to school her

I wanna see her better

She's the weather of my future

I don't wanna see another hurricane

Baby you can kill the pain

If you just let me explain

Trust me I know what I'm sayin'

You will end up on the track of an oncoming train

Stuck in the passenger seat

Travlin' through the fast lane

(Bun B)

Well once upon a time, there was a Mom and a Dad

Who on the outside had everything people wished they had

A beautiful daughter, two story house, two car garage

And a white picket fence wrapped around the front yard

See Daddy was a doctor

And Mommy was a banker

Mommy's job got outsourced

So now Mommy's dranker

Daddy had a malpractice suit

Now he's a snorter

And all this ****'s takin' place

Right in front of their daughter

She says, Daddy what's wrong??

But he's just too high

Mommy what we gon' do??

She just get drunk and cry

Caught in the middle of two wrongs, tryin' to do right

Lookin' for answers alone in the darkness of night

They say...

when my world was crashing all around me all my hope was gone

i was drowning in darkness barely hanging on

out of shadows you appeared and helped me breath again

so when it all goes to back i wont start to fall

cause i can find you in the shadow

Yo.Her name was Chyna Doll, real name Sasha

Stripped out in Jersey, a regular show stopper.

Club hopper, couldn't tell her nada'

Can't even talk to 'er if it ain't about a dollar.

Stayed in the latest? Esay?, Gucci, Prada

Two kids, no communication with' the father.

She nineteen, lookin' like the truth is sickenin'

But boo is trickin' ta' pay school tuition.

A hourglass figure with the best complexion

With' no ratchet on her, usin' *** as a weapon.

Her man's name Jerome, highschool sweetheart

Who just came home for some charges unknown.

It's 'prolly domestic, he be beatin' her ass

Chyna still go to work like she be needin' the cash.

Got his name on her ankle, real impolite

I made it rain on her once an ***** couldn't say, "thank you".

(Ludacris) Now little Lisa is only 9 years old

She's trying to figure out why the world is so cold

Why she's all alone and ain't never met her family

Mama's always gone and she never met her daddy

Part of her is missing and nobody will listen

Mama is on drugs getting high up in the kitchen

Bringing home men at different hours of the night

Starting with some laughs -- usually ending in a fight

Sneaking in her room while her mama's knocked out

Trying to have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch'

She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her

Tries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe her

Lisa is stuck up in the world on her own

Forced to think that hell is a place called home

Nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack

She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back

when my world was crashing all around me all my hope was gone

i was drowning in darkness barely hanging on

out of shadows you appeared and helped me breath again

so when it all goes to back i wont start to fall

cause i can find you in the shadow
