Dark Times | Song

All my life I've been pushed down to the ground, till my sound was buried alive. Whether by forces of those from the outside, or by shadows of my own mind. Left to cry in the cold nights and stormy tides. Now look into my eyes, and you will find the will to survive. Harnessing my candlelight to let its fires multiply. Never die, only rise. - Steven O. Lynn

An aggressive trap influenced rap banger dealing with anxiety, paranoia, and survival mode. Whilst moving towards goals with a hopeful ambition that no matter what, success in inevitable.

As I said before I'm losin’ my religion

Past rhymin’, no turnin’ cheeks starin’ dead at all these bitches

They snitches with ill intentions, they movements is so suspicious

Paranoia got me twitchin', no one can be trusted, feelin’ disgusted

'Cause so many have tried to do me, planned to end me, why I'm not as friendly

Everyone's a enemy, even those that's kin to me, friend of me

Eyes on the watch for anybody ready to drop when the love stops

Paid the cost so I'll never take a loss, I'm the boss of me, myself & I

And I'm flossin’ out these plaques, fuck your feelin’s that's that

If it comes to you or me: me Me ME - ASAP

Dig your ditch, fake shit I don't miss

I'm 25; no gettin’ younger with the passing of time, won't lay down to die

My right is to survive, 'fuse to let you compromise progress

No change of mind I oblige don't cross mines

In These Dark Times

There's no time for being humble with my fumbles, gotta muster up the muscle for this struggle

In These Dark Times

Ventin’ out this boiled anger; seasoned flavor from the chamber, enemy players you're in danger

In These Dark Times

I'm a man so bring the trouble; leave you crumbled from the tussle, mind's focused on the hustle

In These Dark Times

Droppin’ flame bangers known as game changers; caution strangers don't test my kind nature

In These Dark Times

Watch me rise through the harsh nights with a sharp mind, hard rhymes and a stark plight

Got the heart and might, TooTrillFoLife comes After/Death

The old me is dead and gone this a new breath

Fuel for the wreck, plantin’ death in song, this a true threat

For fraud squads investin’ stress, check before you get stretched from the depth

Of all my best, better watch how you step

So appealin’ how I'm dealin’ every feelin’, business buildin’ with no ceilin’s

Heads is peelin’ that's a killin’, ready and willin’

Fuck the kindness let's get violent as a tyrant, move in silence till they silent

Music vibrant, ring the sirens, I'm just dyin’ for you liars to get tired, quit the tryin’

Concede in your grief, let it seep, let it reek in the skin for weeks

And accept every ounce of your defeat, shame walk in disbelief

This your peak and it's weak, make room I gotta beast

Or be food I gotta feast...makes success so sweet

In These Dark Times

With every sentence that I'm spittin' break resistant opposition, lay 'em witness my offenses

In These Dark Times

I will fight against this strife; never die, only shine bright as the sun's light

In These Dark Times

I'm 'bout the business, feel the spirit; tides is shiftin’, goals in vision while you hatin’ from a distance

In These Dark Times

Through fear, sacrifice, blood, cries, dead or alive……I know I'm gonna rise

In These Dark Times
