Dj Black Panther - The Darkest Night Ever!! lyrics

[Verse 1: Jean Grae] Whispering rain awoke me. The curtains drifting slowly The hint of dusk and twilight, gray sky, daylight folding Next to a lover recovering from a hangover slumber Twisting the sheets around my legs, slipping deep in the covers Reached over, felt nothing. Sat up, contemplated his leaving Called out his name and heard nothing but the sound of my breathing Feet swinging on the floor, shuffling sleepy on the slippery wood tiles Today, the hall is feeling like it's miles to go. Splash water on my face Handle business—not in that order. Head to the kitchen Get a cup of java. Grab the remote, flick on the coffee machine Flop in the La-Z-Boy—easy chair, sighing Feet up on the table. Pressing bu*tons. No cable. Stand up Smacking the TV, throw the remote across the room and start Cursing—I'm heated. Pick up the cordless phone What the f**? Dial tone's missing and it's fully charged Headed back in the kitchen, thinking “Maybe I blew a fuse” Try to switch on the lights and get nothing but confused Coffee still cold. Open fridge. Dark as hell Freezer dripping. No electricity far as I can tell I'm straight b**hing now, complaining out loud Throw on a sweater and slippers, thinking “I'm ‘bout to go out on a super tripping” Stepped out on my door, locked it. Put the key in my pocket And took the stairs a flight, headed to his ground-floor apartment I'm must've knocked for five minutes, ringing bells, banging Calling, tapping, peeping through the mail slot. This n***a As much rent as I'm paying, there's always something broken I'm thinking of rent-striking when the front door blows open That's strange. All the tenants always lock it Looked over, walked up to it, closed it. It just opened again I let it swing. It's strange. Peeped out into the street Silence was deafening—never heard nothing quieter Except for nothing. No one's out. Lights are nonexistent And I mean no sound, no silence, no laughter No crying, unhappy children. No one walking No one standing. No one fighting, no one driving Just water falling. Just me calling out Into the deadened air. Panicking, getting no response Trembling. Tripping down the stoop, searching the block Kicking doors, I started running. I started running [Hook: Sample from Giorgio Moroder ft. Chris Bennett's "Theme from Midnight Express"] (x2) As the light is leaving, silently retreating down an empty hall [Verse 2: Jean Grae] Ran some blocks, stopped for nothing. There was nothing to stop for Throat getting raw from screaming, crying, pleading Hoping just to see something, anything moving I'm breathing like the air was made of knives, choking, falling Scraping up my knees. Body shaking like rustling leaves Upchucking and dry-heaving, pushing random doors open Running down a subway station, seeing scattered cars and choking as Purses and bags laying, drinks and trinkets scattered No sign of blood splattered. What the f** happened? There's no sign of the struggle. Just vanished—everyone Please, God. Let me be dreaming Ran back upstairs, tried every phone—dead Every building—nothing. Every store empty Getting darker now. Collapse hysterical. Beating my head Against the pavement just to test my consciousness and lost it Woke up in pure darkness, thinking it was over Under a blanket or scarf, the rain beating heavy. Head bloody God, k** me ‘cause you sure don't love me. Got up and stumbled To a bus stop. Sat on a bench, looked at my hands bleeding Face streaked with dirt and tears streaming down Never slowing, rocking back and forth, wailing into the sky Praying for it just to end. Why would you leave me like this? What have I done wrong? Was it lost of faith? Maybe I'm in hell. Just tell me something. Am I going insane? I want to wake up. Please say it's not the worst nightmare ever And if it's not, end it now and just take me up I'd rather see a tunnel in a light. Wake me up Don't leave me in the darkest night ever. Hunger escapes me Sad, but no, didn't even measure time. Just started walking And darkness chased me. The cold air raped me I let my body go numb, float wherever the wind takes me Waiting for the end to come. And as she waited for the opposite of the beginning A million-and-one thoughts spun in her head Was this d**h? Was she awake? Had the rest of life been a dream and this is the reality? She ran until her legs stopped working. And her sweat dripped red There was still nothing. A flash of light And a silence softer than silence And then a darkness blacker than blackness And then she was still. And then she was still [Hook: Sample from Giorgio Moroder ft. Chris Bennett's "Theme from Midnight Express"] (x2) As the light is leaving, silently retreating down an empty hall [Verse 3: Jean Grae] Whispering rain awoke me. The curtains drifting slowly The hint of dusk and twilight, gray sky, daylight folding Next to a lover recovering from hangover slumber Twisting the sheets around my legs, slipping deep in the covers Reached over, felt nothing but a sense of repetition Called out his name and heard nothing. Headed to the kitchen Shuffling sleepy on the slippery tiles. Today, the hallway seems to go on for miles Flick on the coffee machine. Flop in the La-Z-Boy—easy chair, sighing Kick my feet up on the table. Pushing remote bu*tons, getting nothing Stood up suddenly, panicking, frantic Ran to the phone and checked it—dead. Hitting the lights, started crying Bolted out the door into the pouring rain, started running Once again, the sound of nothing ringing in my ears Like it's a hundred church bells at once. Body turning numb again Worse than déjà vu, it's darker, it's colder than The reverse of fire. I feel like imploding Six-shot-bullet-loading, thinking now, tearing down the block Looking for gun stores, anything to blow my brains out Hoping lightning hits me from a heavy rain cloud I cry a million rivers, screaming for deliverance And end tonight in suffering. Can't speak. My soul shivers And she ran until her legs stopped working And there was still nothing. And then a flash And then she was still [Hook: Sample from Giorgio Moroder ft. Chris Bennett's "Theme from Midnight Express"] (x2) As the light is leaving, silently retreating down an empty hall
