Letra de 5:55

[Intro]
Hmm, yeah

[Verso 1]
Hol' up, I don't know what's... got me looking to the past when... I'm moving forward
I might slip up on my ass, but I never fold up
I might pull up late to class, but I always show up

[Hook]
Yeah even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Verso 2]
And I know, I know, I know I'm a mess
I don' made a mess now
Caught me slippin on the right
Whippin from the left now
I been all up off my game
Young, dumb and stressed out
Might not hit a triple-double
But I put my best out

[Hook]
Yeah even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Verso 3]
And I know, I know, I know how it goes
I need to work on my soul (Soul)
I need to work on my goals (Goals)
I need to balance my patience
Work on my pace and empty my woes (Ya)
I need to feel my emotions (Ya)
I need a grip on my focus (Ya)
I need to know what I've chose is not just for me
And nurture my closest (Ya)
I need to work with my father
Too many curses I harbor
I need a break from my habits
Cleanse of my spirit
Fill up my chalice (Woo)
I need to know what I offer
Show me a way to go farther
Peace of mind [piece of mine], it's gon' cost and

[Puente]
And I've been fuckin' up for a quite a while
Don't know how to hide it
I've been dealin' with some problems by myself in silence
I ain't always at my best
Even when I'm smillin'
I might lose it under stress
But I always find it

[Hook]
Yeah, even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Verso 4]
And time, and time, and time, and time, and time
And time again, I gotta turn around and tell myself
Life's too short for the cards I dealt to decide my health
The mind might help when the spine might jelq from the limelight, welp
Will I lose sight? Only time might tell
Does anybody feel lost on the planet?
Peel back layers to my soul like, hol' up
I pray for the days when the new Wayne tapes had me on ketchup mayonnaise don cannon
Ain't no ceilings
'Ye was killing
'09 Drake had me in my feelings
Before 4:44, Hov made millions
Number one off Empire State Building
A state of bliss coming in the air, no Phil &'
If I ever had a doubt, momentum killed it
And you can have all that you want
Heaven or Hell?
Choices on choices (Ya)
Voices on voices (Ya)
Teeter totter through the peace & drama
Feed & water spirit while my ego wonders
I be chill pillin' yet I'm hardly somber
Caught between the Art of War and Dalai Lama (Woo)
I need an end to my ways
I need an end to my ways
Yea, uh, this ain't the ending of days
This is a pivotal page
Decisions on decisions
Am I a vessel of truth
Or as crooked as any politician?
I'm from where niggas don't have a pot to piss in
Mama's in the kitchen
Rent is no forgiveness
Reeboks on the extensions
We got good intentions
Circumstances changing
Devil's start to clenchin'
Toe-to-toe with demons
Angels on the benches
30 on the clock
Clutching through the trenches
Which side, which side?
I could be lost, delivered, deprived
Sever my ties, decide to be blind
Or open my eyes, yea

[Hook]
Yeah even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And even when it's dark outside (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

[Instrumental Outro]
