Darkest Places (feat. Jonny Koch & Aspen Dawn)

I was young, set ablaze, I would flicker with the flames

I was rowing over bridges, wasn't worried about the rain

I was holdin' onto grudges, was the jury and the judge

And when it came to the verdict, my sentences never budged

I got a lot I ain't proud of, but I got zero regrets

Had to take a view back to really look at my steps

They tried to get on my case, I saw it all in the stairs

So I slid down the railing and got the hell outta there

You know a piece of my story? You barely opened the book

You got a glance of the cover and think you know what it took

I wrote these verses in blood, my DNA in my art

So if you feel it, you feelin' me, 'cause it's straight from the heart

Not many can say the same

Got a lot out here playin' games

Push people and narrative, but you're lost in the fame

You preach about how to cope, but you're still lost in the flames

I'm one to use what I wrote to make me better today

I really preach what I practice, I really sell who I am

Ask my team, ask my family, ask any one of my fans

I just hate to see people who ain't the people they say

Yo, what's wrong with the industry you been claiming to hate?

We were young, we were wild, just a fire with no cause

Just a light in the dark with a purpose unknown

Took some time to ourself when I finally tamed you, reachin'

Now you fire me up, you're the reason I glow

You're my fire

Nowadays, we're bringin' light

To the darkest places

I remember feelin' last night, we lead the way

Nowadays, we're bringin' light to the empty sky

With a serenade

To the darkest places

I turned that fire to light

I gave that light to the world

I gave that light to my fans

I gave that light to my girl

I cultivated my happiness

Grew it straight from the dirt

I stopped takin' appraisals, started creatin' my worth

Didn't listen to nobody, word to rose, that's how I rose

I got sick of basic people, told 'em, "Yo, I gotta go"

I can't live like this forever, there's someone I gotta be

Destiny got better for me, and I just can't wait and see

So I set my sights where the grass look green

Saw a smile in the water, but it looked like me

So moved in my reflection, the person that I could be

Stopped runnin' off of revenge and taught myself to be free

I'm the one they couldn't stop, I'm the product of my dreams

I'm the one who made it through

When they brought me to my knees

Here to pass the message down like they passed it down to me

If it set your soul on fire, then you gotta let it breathe

We were young, we were wild, just a fire with no cause

Just a light in the dark with a purpose unknown

Took some time to ourself when I finally tamed you, reachin'

Now you fire me up, you're the reason I glow

You're my fire

Nowadays, we're bringin' light

To the darkest places

I remember feelin' last night, we lead the way

Nowadays, we're bringin' light to the empty sky

With a serenade

To the darkest places

Light

Nowadays, we're bringin' light

To the darkest places

I remember feelin' last night, we lead the way

Nowadays, we're bringin' light to the empty sky

With a serenade

To the darkest places
