Darkest Times

Just a prayer from a thug
Small prayer from a thug
Father, You say forward as I am, you know
Wild and everything
Know me a your child and everything

You a me light inna the darkest times
Me get the fight some a the hardest kind
Me feel the pain and gwaan like all is fine
Me see the snake, you know man nah live blind
Just be mi light inna the darkest times
No matter wha' gwaan, me cyaan lef' mine
Jealousy that full dem heart with slime
Just be mi light inna the darkest times

Aye, Jah Jah
Living is all me know
Sacrifice me life fi people smile, giving is all me know
'Memba you set it so inna the street a weh me grow
Pop it off fi buss a head, yeah, trigger squeezing at me foe
Couple a me friend dem dead, I guess me reaping what we sow
Know that gyal deh wouldn't love me if me sleeping on the floor
All when everybody doubt me, you believe inna me though
Lock the place inna the sunshine, then go dweet inna the show
Huh

You a me light inna the darkest times
Me get the fight some a the hardest kind
Me feel the pain and gwaan like all is fine
Me see the snake, you know man nah live blind
Just be mi light inna the darkest times
No matter wha' gwaan, me cyaan lef' mine
Jealousy that full dem heart with slime
Just be mi light inna the darkest times

You govern Your thing, Jah, me never yet doubt
Give thanks every day, say me get a way out
Say me a go dead, yow a weh dem hear 'bout?
And me used to put food up inna dem same mouth
Dangerous and militant, me never change out
Empty barrel a make chat a bare shout
More time me miss me youth, me live inna the airport
Just a do weh me haffi do until the flame out
Oh, Father

You a me light inna the darkest times
Me get the fight some a the hardest kind
Me feel the pain and gwaan like all is fine
Me see the snake, you know man nah live blind
Just be mi light inna the darkest times
No matter wha' gwaan, me cyaan lef' mine
Jealousy that full dem heart with slime
Just be mi light inna the darkest times

Just a prayer from a thug
Small prayer from a thug
Hey, Jah Jah
Prayer from a thug
Small prayer from a thug
You a me light inna the darkest times
Me get the fight some a the hardest kind
Me feel the pain and gwaan like all is fine
Me see the snake, you know man nah live blind
Just be mi light inna the darkest times
No matter wah gwaan, me cyaan lef' mine
Jealousy that full dem heart with slime
Just be mi light inna the darkest times
