Anthony Cameron - Dark Place

Yeah, when I started this, I was in a dark place
Apart of this, is me realizin' my own fate
Hate is part of the game, they gon' discriminate
You'll never make everybody happy, so don't take
They feelings accountable to yourself, it'll break
Your image, gotta be patient and don't break
Down under some pressure
Sit down, listen to this lecture
They tell me not to be so complex
But fuck what they talkin' about, let's be honest
Niggas are tired of hearin' the same ol' songs
Artists bitin' off of each other, there's something wrong
With the way rap is portrayed, it's been too long
Since another one like me has come along

Ain't nothin' you could do
But move along, and continue
Gettin' closer to God, with every breath
Gettin' closer to the top, with every step

Everybody out here tryna make it
Wanna be heard, every opportunity, gotta take it
Only 21, so I'm still young
But my mind got older as the world spun
Around
And showed me that I carry this profound
Level of talent, so it's only right that I'm bound
To make my dreams reality, started from the ground
I'm movin' so erratically, no one can copy my sound
There's a fine duality
Between fake shit and reality
I know the difference, I got a very strong mentality
That taught me how to move at a pace so gradually
Niggas wanna make it overnight, have some rationality
I'm me, I'll never switch up my personality
I'll always have my individuality
Doing this shit single-handedly
Doing this shit for humanity

Mental window closin' in, don't know where I'm goin'
Losin' sleep over this shit, and it's showin'
Overwhelming myself with expectations
For such a long time, feel like I've wasted
Valuable time that I can no longer get back
The value of the grind, I could never lay back
And watch the world pass me by, my nigga, I'll be damned
And I refuse to be left behind, this ain't what I planned

I ain't plan to be left behind
I'm just movin' at God's time
Maybe one day, you'll understand
What goes on behind the man
In the mirror

Cut from a different cloth, you could say
Comin' from a place where they don't want you to say
That you made it out, niggas full of jealousy
Go 'head and cry me a river, I'm fulfilling my destiny
Music was the only escape from the mundane
Don't wanna be apart of the same ol' thang
Change is necessary, just remember that
It all started with a dream and my phone in my hand
