Black Box Lyrics

Black Box, voices rescued from the deep, Deep thoughts, painful secrets that I keep

And his deep scars, from the crash into the deep, But there's deep love, give me peace that will keep

Yeah, the Black Box, voices rescue from the deep, Deep thoughts, hateful secrets that I keep

And his deep scars, from the crash into the deep, But there's deep love

Yo, it was a grey day, when the flight began, Sitting in the back seat, ready to follow the flight plan

Staring at the window high above, feeling the man, Next thing I'm hearing, Mayday, I'm praying we land

But let's go, way back, sitting comfy in the first class, Nice meal with a nice fancy wine glass

I'm thinking back to my first grade nine class, Write rhymes all day about the nines and the crack

Dreams of getting signed off, all of my dope rhymes, And at the time, tools that don't fill up all my rhymes

I got deeper with the Lord, realized this gift's not mine, The demons in my mind, walking near the mines

Trying to shine, but that's the price of wanting to blow up, Forget the purpose, of why you even show up

Every show you live for seeing them hands up, But that all changed when I surrendered and put my hands up

Black box, voices rescued from the deep, Deep thoughts, painful secrets that I keep

Deep scars, from the crash into the deep, But this deep love

Gave me peace that will keep you in the black box, Voices rescued from the deep

Deep thoughts, painful secrets that I keep, And his deep scars, from the crash into the deep

And his deep scars, from the crash into the deep, But there's deep love

I fell asleep in my seat, then the turbulence hit, Thought I was normal, slight shift, then closed lids

Kept my sin in a black box, with multiple locks, So much easier to wrap, than to walk on my top

Eyes opening now, I feel the cabin ride, No seatbelt on, so my head got clocked

Hit the seat in front of me, bounced like tire shocks, Hit the floor, head fuzzy, now I'm needing a doc

Thoughts like a boat without anchor leaving the dock, Was flying out of the engine, dying from small sparks

Flames in my window, the cabin lights go dark, Situation looking dire, I hear the fire bark

The plane begins to nose dive, we rapidly plummet, Guess this is the end, we're falling hard from the summit

Ground getting closer, no no longer living above it, The engine's going idle

Man these idols of color, so many hidden sins, That locked away, I smoked the smoke

But I prayed all the flames away, Now these flames burn the entire plane away

God please, take all my pain today

Black box, voices rescued from the deep, Deep thoughts, painful secrets that I keep

Deep scars, from the crash that's in the deep, But this deep love, give me peace that will keep

Black box on the table, now as you sit and you listen, Water dripping off the device

Took a real lick and survived though, And rescued from the deep waves

Water and the flames couldn't destroy the sound waves, Soak them in the ears

Hear when went wrong, broken pieces spread out on the table, Putting in songs, lyrical songs

I felt like David on the rooftop, Lies in my heart, proclaimed it was truth and hip hop

Engine stopped, gauges broke all at once, I got all I was chasing

All at once, forgot it was in God, that I trust, The gold bars soon showed they were really rust

I knew sin was bad, but crashed with impact, Integrity now, though I preach I'll never retract

Blazing trains hopping clouds I'm riding these tracks, I was preaching the light, But I was living in the black

Black box, voices rescued from the deep, Deep thoughts, painful secrets that I keep

Deep scars, from the crash that's in the deep, But this deep love, give me peace that will keep

Yeah the black box, voices rescued from the deep, Deep thoughts, painful secrets that I keep

Man these deep scars, from the crash that's in the deep, But this deep love, give me peace that will keep

Yeah the black box, voices rescued from the deep, Deep thoughts, painful secrets that I keep
