The Darkness

(1 Cor 4:5, Heb 4:13, Judges 14-16) [Verse 1] What goes on in the darkness? In the spot-light you’re an artist In day light, at the job workin’ your hardest When lights on, spread seed for the harvest But when the lights off spill seed on the carpet Righteousness like a light switch Flip it on and off when you wish, livin’ life as a hypocrite A great actor a fake wit’ a mask You’re ashamed of the fact you’re a slave to your master It was subtle how your lust crept in Started in your head, spreadin’ through your bread like leaven Age eleven exposure Sparked somethin’ dark in your heart burned ’til you got older Then you were born again, it was smolderin’ Zealous young buck, throwin’ out stuff, you were bolder then The church criticized, said “you’re too holy” then You began to compromise, heads started noticin’ Things changed but, heart didn’t change much Fan to the flame, lust ran through your brain much You messed up on occasion Makin’ sure, it’s at least a week before, you were on stage again You leave time for repentance Sometimes you might even mean it ’cause your sins ain’t consistent But, you can’t lie it’s the Most High you rebel against Sinnin’ wisely, hidin’ all your evidence [Hook] You can’t hide in the darkness God sees all actions and intents of the heart it’s Gonna come to the light So repent, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might [Verse 2] I know another cat like you, you might know him too Matter of fact yo, his story’s in the Bible Ever read about Samson Nazarite since birth, crushed anything he laid hands on He had an issue with sin too It crept in slowly, most didn’t notice what he went through They get the story all twisted Compromise started way before Delilah, most of y’all missed it It begins in the vineyard Rule number one for the Nazarite: no wine or vinegar Even the grapes are off limits Eatin’ anything from the vine was a breach in the commitment He never should’ve got close but Now he’s put to the test when a young lion approaches The Spirit of the Lord fell on him like an adrenaline rush Literally rippin’ the lion up Later on he returned to the scene Rule number three, all dead bodies are unclean Can’t touch ’em, I don’t care how much you loved them If it’s carcass you must regard it disgusting But it’s not so with Samson He found bees and honey in the dead lion and stuck his hands in Then he shared with his parents Sin seems sweet when it’s secret so please be aware men [Hook] [Verse 3] You got a lot in common with Samson Hope it ends there though, his story has a bad end Though God did much with him, he was still lust driven Had a thing for revenge plus women After about a thousand and thirty dead Philistines He finds the woman of his dreams But she was schemin’ Bribed by her Philistine people, offerin’ a whole lot of cream and Before I get to the point it should’ve hit you When I was going through the rules earlier I skipped two Here it is though, never bring a razor to your head bro Nazarites gotta let their hair grow She enticed him, he told her She sent for the lords of the Philistines so they came over While he slept she shaved him No longer Nazarite, Lord’s gone, no one to save him They put his eyes out blindin’ him Fetters of brass binding him, and now he’s grindin’ in prison The pagans want to play wit’ ’em So they sent him to the house of Dagon, but Samson is prayin’ The Lord avenges him, pushes out the pillars in the buildin’ Three thousand dead men and women But he went with them, like I said it’s a bad endin’ So how you gonna finish yours, Christian [Hook]
