NEW SINGLE "Blacklight" (+ lyrics)

I hope you all enjoyed Catch My Flight. I can now show you the second single from the upcoming album. Consider it my halloween present to all of you.

So, here's "Blacklight."
Blacklight by Chris Black

LYRICS
Uh, what if all we're seeing is a dream?
And everything you believe in aint what it seems?
Almost as if it was all backwards
And when you say 'goodbye,' those are your last words.
So when you die there aint another chapter
And science is our master but, more so, our pastor.
See I believe that when we leave our soul goes somewhere after,
I aint a monkey, I'm what God made to be a rapper.
A white kid musically inclined to meet the standards
Of the industry 'till the day that they call him history
Or so it seems; spittin poetry, knowing me
I'd plead 'I'm so far ahead, at least get to my shoulder please.'
Maybe I just wanna be able to say that I made it
But if there's a reason to say you hate it, this aint it, so save it.
Anything that comes into my mind-I'ma say it
In fact, I'm tired of this waiting taking my patience, so wake me.

I just can't see nothing at all.
I talk to walls.
But they don't talk back. It's all black. Where's the light?
No, they don't talk back. It's all black. Where's the light?
I live in a blacklight.
I live in a blacklight.

Girl, we really had it all.
But you left me among the stars.
And I don't know where you are.
Oh, and the earth seems so far away.
I need a bright new day, oh,
To help me stay away from the dark. I embark
On a dream, but it seems like it's haunted,
It's a nightmare, and you flaunt it. Where'd you go?
I was flyin' high a moment ago.
Oh, you left me blind and I

I just can't see nothing at all.

I talk to walls.
But they don't talk back. It's all black. Where's the light?
No, they don't talk back. It's all black. Where's the light?
I live in a blacklight.
I live in a blacklight.

It's dark. And I can't see.
I start to lose belief
In myself.
But LORD, I know you're here.
And now I see you clear.
And now I'm free.

FIRST SINGLE "Catch My Flight" (+ lyrics)


Catch My Flight by Chris Black

and get ready for Against All Odds (probably will be out by end of 2010)....it will blow away your expectations.

LYRICS
Yeah, I'm taking off man.
Yeah, uh, let's go.

Taking off last boarding call-Cleveland
To paradise; where is my very nice treatment?
Like the massages and the bitches with the leaf fans;
Sleep in, never leaving dreamland
I close my eyes, just relax, think i'm famous-
Bodyguards and they match with the same shit.
They hold it down for me, yeah they protect me
I ask am I just lucky or did God really bless me?
Well either way, I'll use it to my advantage.
And all of my verses are useless if I was acting
Like, if I was lying what the fuck's the point of trying
I ain't making up my theories just to try and sound defiant,
I believe it. My mind has some thoughts so I'm 'a speak it.
Unleash it. At least you know you're big if someone leaks it
I'm 'a lose it. My flow is intelligent, never stupid.
And I could buy a first class flight with this music.

And when I'm on that plane
The only thing that you'll see underneath my feet
Is the jet fuel.
And I ain't changed I've been the same since I met you, yeah.

And when I'm on that stage
The only thing that you'll hear coming into your ears
Is the best tunes.
How could I let you down?

Catch my flight,
And I'm out of this world. Oh I'm
Better than good; never ever stopping
Making sure my name ain't never forgotten, I'm gonna
Speak my mind,
'Till the end of the world. Oh I'm
Better than good; never ever stopping
Making sure my name ain't never forgotten, you know?

Eh, I feel like...I feel...

I feel like my music has flipped my life around.
I used to want an education, now I like the sound
Of skipping college, getting famous out of high school
And touching that sky like I graduate from flight school.
Flying to the top, and my bed is the clouds.
Hell I might as well just hibernate I'll never come down.
Let me catch a breath, never get some rest
Viral CDs I spread 'em around.
The better the sound, the better the hook,
The better billboard position and your revenue piles
Up, so you gotta stack the money to the ceiling.
And you ain't gonna tell me that it doesn't sound appealing
I'ma catch my flight and I'm out of this world
Mysteries of my brain in a bottomless swirl
So I lay 'em on the table but they'll always be there.
Until the end of my world, I will always be aware.

And when I'm on that stage
The only thing that you'll hear coming into your ears
Is the best tunes.
How could I let you down?

I can't, if I could, then who would I be?
I've seen it happen many times how stupid I'd be.
But damn those clouds are so high.
And this is how I'm gonna get up into the sky, I'm gonna

Catch my flight,
And I'm out of this world. Oh I'm
Better than good; never ever stopping
Making sure my name ain't never forgotten, I'm gonna
Speak my mind,
'Till the end of the world. Oh I'm
Better than good; never ever stopping
Making sure my name ain't never forgotten, uh-huh!

Yeah, just, you know, sometimes you gotta, you gotta
Ask yourself, like

When that sun sets
Will it ever come back? Or is it done, heck;
My career strives off of one breath.
And will I survive through whatever comes next?
I ain't playing games, no twenty questions.
I tell you how it is, so why you dumbies guessing?
Every single day-a new confession
I smoke the competition like a hookah session-
From my seat; you at the bottom of the pit
So if you follow like a shadow you'll be swallowing my shit
Flow's nasty. You don't wanna eat the competition,
You chicken; it's almost like your beat's from Popeye's kitchen.
Do you get it? And rewind it if you don't
And in the meantime I think I'll just be climbing up the rope.
That means top of the rock, so I'ma ring the bell.
And I don't ever plan to fall, and sing in hell.
So if the devil tries to sign me, fuck him
I'd rather just be singing at my church, for nothing-
Not a dime, not a nickel, and not even a penny
So lead me outta temptation, or feel free to resent me
I feel the power coursing through me-in my blood and my veins
And I'm rubbing my pain out like Neosporin
Gotta make the song good, I will never make it boring.
And I wasn't throwing shots, Shadow, I don't want a war
I want to

Catch my flight,
And I'm out of this world. Oh I'm
Better than good; never ever stopping
Making sure my name ain't never forgotten, I'm gonna
Speak my mind,
'Till the end of the world. Oh I'm
Better than good; never ever stopping
Making sure my name ain't never forgotten, I'm gonna

Catch my flight,
And I'm out of this world. Oh I'm
Better than good; never ever stopping
Making sure my name ain't never forgotten, I'm gonna
Speak my mind,
'Till the end of the world. Oh I'm
Better than good; never ever stopping
Making sure my name ain't never forgotten, you know!
