The Dark
Magnüs Lyrics

Uh, Off the bat know we raw, dawg
Right from the start, understand that we are ruthless and formidable, friend.

Those hooligans are my dawgs, dawg
Those troublemakers are my closest associates, friend.

So go on and say what you want dawg
Feel free to speak your mind, friend.

This is who we are dawg
This is our true nature, friend.

Now tell me man, what's a goat nigga to a city of gold nigga?
What status does a successful person have among a community of even more successful people?

Where we call 'em out by their first names, you just know 'em as gold diggers
In our society, we are so familiar with wealthy individuals that we call them by their first names, but to outsiders, they are simply known as people seeking financial gain.

And the kid that got you just last week, yeah he's probably my bro's nigga
The person who recently defeated you is likely someone closely connected to me.

And he probably did more figures and probably figure looks mean smoke nigga
He probably has a higher income and appears intimidating, friend.

And he'll probably fuck around and ghost niggas, I ain't talking text
He may very well disappear and leave people behind, and I am not referring to communication via cellphone, friend.

Snatch a nigga, broad day
Kidnap a person in broad daylight, friend.

It's work youngin' no time to play
This is serious business, young one, there is no time to waste playing games.

Quick search now walk away, now walk away
Quickly search the area and then retreat, friend.

Nothing personal unlucky day
This is not a personal attack, just an unfortunate situation, friend.

Nothing special just another day
This is just a typical day, nothing out of the ordinary, friend.

Yeah, eyes open dawg, don't let the bright lights bling ya
Be alert and don't let wealth and fame blind you, friend.

Stay woke in these streets or they might find ya
Be vigilant in these dangerous streets or they may catch you, friend.

Catch you slippin' your shit gone cops they don't find out
If you make a mistake, your possessions will be taken and the police won't even investigate, friend.

Make peace with what it is, it's a dark night out
Accept the reality of the situation, it's a dangerous and ominous night, friend.

Never Let The Bright Lights Blind My
I will never let wealth and fame cloud my judgment, friend.

Vision Or The Path Where I Might Find,
I will not let my goals and aspirations be influenced by material success, friend.

A Little Bit Of Flair Where The Light Shines
I will add a touch of style where appropriate, friend.

On Mwah
On me, friend.

Won't succumb to less
I refuse to settle for mediocrity, friend.

I'm the kinda nigga that they can't finesse
I am not the type of person that can be easily deceived or manipulated, friend.

Mah confidence like cuffin' a godly miss
My confidence is as strong as holding onto a divine woman, friend.

I come from nix
I come from nothing, friend.

Accustomed to countin' chips
I am used to counting money, friend.

On my shoulder but I never had that
I bear the weight of responsibility, even though I have never had that kind of support, friend.

Nor have I ever had a plan to fall back
I have never had a backup plan, friend.

On, and I never had It all
I have never had everything, friend.

I know lack
I am familiar with the feeling of not having enough, friend.

How I know myself is how a junkie knows crack
I am intimately familiar with myself, similar to how a drug addict is familiar with their drug of choice, friend.

Grew up in a city
I was raised in an urban area, friend.

Where a blessing a curse
In this city, something that seems like a blessing can easily turn into a curse, friend.

N the favor's a whore coz it cum at a price
Favors in this city are like a prostitute, they come with a cost, friend.

Livin' how we live
Living the way we do, friend.

Is like cardiac arrest, coz you bound to get killed
It's like having a heart attack, because death is inevitable in this lifestyle, friend.

If you're weakness at Heart
If you are emotionally vulnerable, friend.

Gawd damn!!
This is a strong exclamation of surprise and shock, friend.

And when you see us in the streets, don't expect no peace
If you encounter us in the streets, don't anticipate a peaceful interaction, friend.

Flexing with the drip but your time piece will be gone in no time
Showing off your fashionable clothing and accessories will only result in them being stolen, friend.

Get it? Capeesh?
Do you understand what I am saying, friend?

Five to one he ain't finna do shit
There is an 80% chance he won't take any action, friend.

Eight out of ten you don't lose your teeth
80% of the time, you won't get hurt, friend.

So when you wake up with time, be grateful you live
If you wake up and are still alive after an encounter with us, be thankful, friend.

And more that often it's a lack options that got me poppin'
Most of the time, it was a lack of options that led me to pursue a life of crime, friend.

For a case, give me a name, a face and I'll be sure to pop him
If you give me the details, I will make sure to handle the situation, friend.

Caught that nigga slippin' talking out of pocket
We caught that person off guard and they said something inappropriate, friend.

Power and petty shit, nothing ending here
This is just a display of power and petty behavior, nothing more, friend.

So that blood shed, yeah that's imminent
Violence is likely to happen, friend.

For some the only way to feed the fam and 'em
For some people, the only way to provide for their family and themselves is through illegal means, friend.

Benefit from a nigga dividends
Gain wealth from another person's earnings, friend.

Take his shit, sell it
Steal his possessions and sell them, friend.

And fuck you and your better plan
Disregard your legitimate plans, friend.

Dark Nights
This is a reference to the dangerous, unpredictable nature of the nighttime in this environment.
