In the dark, tu es ma lumière,

Sous la nuit, je cache mes prières.

Dans le noir, je te sens près de moi,

Dis-moi pourquoi tu me vois pas?

All right. Look, in the dark, I been movin' like a ghost, ain't nobody see me, ain't nobody know the host. She said "Cee, where you at?" I said "In the dark, chasin' bags, fillin' up the charts." I remember in the dark with no light in the flat, now I'm in the dark in a suite, never goin' back. She wanna know why I'm so cold, I said "In the dark, stories gettin' told, in the dark, turnin' dust to gold." From the North Side blocks to the overseas flights, in the dark, I turn the wrongs to rights. I been losin' sleep, losin' peace, but I'm keepin' the fight, in the dark, I'm the knight.

In the dark, tu es ma lumière,

Sous la nuit, je cache mes prières.

Dans le noir, je te sens près de moi,

Dis-moi pourquoi tu me vois pas?

Listen. In the dark, I been runnin' from the demons, they been chasin' me for seasons, I been makin' all the reasons. She said "Cee, you need a break," I said "Breaks don't make the history, in the dark is my only mystery." I been up for 48 hours, in the dark give me powers, that's when I make the moves, that's when I take the showers. She asked "Why you never call?" I said "In the dark, I'm takin' it all." I remember in the dark in the trap, no sleep, no food, just a map. Now I'm in the dark on a yacht, sippin' something cold, takin' shots.

In the dark, tu es ma lumière,

Sous la nuit, je cache mes prières.

Dans le noir, je te sens près de moi,

Dis-moi pourquoi tu me vois pas?

Real talk. In the dark, I been thinkin' 'bout the ones who didn't make it, every night I'm prayin', hope they hear me when I say it. From the mud to the millions, I been movin' different, in the dark is when my mind get distant. She said "Cee, you need a woman," I said "Woman is a distraction, in the dark is my passion, in the dark is my action." I been losin' friends to the dark, losin' sleep to the dark, but I'm keepin' all the paper, that's the only thing that stays sharp. She asked "What's the purpose?" I said "Purpose is the work, in the dark in the dirt, now I'm wearin' a new shirt."

In the dark, tu es ma lumière,

Sous la nuit, je cache mes prières.

Dans le noir, je te sens près de moi,

Dis-moi pourquoi tu me vois pas?

In the dark... tu es ma lumière...

In the dark... je cache mes prières...

...in the dark...
