[Intro: Whispered - Male Vocal, Same Voice, Solo Artist] Yeah... lights out again... But we don't stop... MMM Empire... [Verse 1: Fast, heavy cadence, emotional] Lights went off, laptop five percent, room got dark Clock tick ticking, heart beat quicker, sparked in the dark Mama said "give it up", neighbors laughed, they tore me apart But I got a dream in my chest that they can't tear apart Harare night, no ZESA, candle flicker, pain in my heart They want me to quit, get a job, go and play it smart But I can't fake it, can't make it, if I don't make it from heart So I write in the dark, let the spark be the flame in the dark [Chorus: Sung, anthemic, powerful] When the lights went off, I found my glow When they said no, I said watch, I grow Lost in the dark but I know the road When the lights went off, I found my soul Oh-oh-oh, I found my soul When the lights went off, I found my glow [Verse 2: Double-time, faster, multis] Yeah look, they counted me out, now they countin' my plays Said I would never make it, now they watchin' my page 179 songs deep and I still got rage 282 souls who believe, that's my real wage From Echoes to Mon Stop, I been lockin' the cage 4K plays, 600 likes, that's just the first page You can cut off the lights but you can't cut off the wave You can cut off the power but you can't cut off the brave [Bridge: Slow, emotional] This for the kid with a laptop and a busted plug Dreams too big for the room and a heart full of love If they laugh at your grind, let 'em laugh, let 'em shrug 'Cause the dark don't last, nah, the dark don't last [Final Chorus: Bigger] When the lights went off, I found my glow When they said no, I said watch, I grow Lost in the dark but I know the road When the lights went off, I found my soul MMM Empire! We don't stop!
