lyrics

Back to bat, uh, tell em Darko’s back yuh
Base/Bass is loaded, see the pitching; Darko’s back to bat yuh
Been a minute, since we heard from you... Where y’all at?
They wanna see me digress, then tell em run this track

I’ve been losing sleep, feeding sheep, tryna eat, feeling weak, working 40’s
Hours days, nights, weeks, week to week

Needing strength, and His grace, is this all a phase?
Cold winter, its time to spring up, and give the Son/sun His praise

Jack of all trades, living like a King preying/praying for a Queen
To be drunk in love, no Ace of Spades
Tell my demons, they can catch this fade, punchlines like Cassius Clay
Hit em with the truth, people renewed, making mans appraised

On His word I stand tall yet, weak at the knees
Satan my enemy, doesn’t matter the season he just, wants to see me fall
Run walk or crawl, keeping it moving, or groving like
Darko on the dance floor, thug life... Backs to the wall like

Back to bat, uh, tell em Darko’s back yuh
Base/Bass is loaded, see the pitching; Darko’s back to bat yuh
Been a minute, since we heard from you... Where y’all at?
They wanna see me digress, then tell em run this track
