lirik lagu cameron london - dark side of the mic
[verse 1]
reflecting on past traumas
that trickled through generations
love is sacrifice but i prayed for deviation
from the status quo
moral is miles away
from where i’m trying to go
toting the sins of the world
was weighing on my soul
i was frustrated
is god idle
do he hear the prayers
i hid within my song titles
brush with death
was enough to get my attention
witnessed every year i wasted
now it’s time for intervention
i tasted enough success to keep me hooked
like the reagan era
terror in the eyes of mothers
ruins their mascara
the truth remains
the only thing to gain from fame
is trauma in response
to sarah telling kids ignore the shame
so when the rappers die
who digs the grave
too late to make a difference
i pray that i get to save a single soul
from the predators sight
how many have seen
the dark side of the mic
[hook]
my vision been clouded
by all the sins that i’ve seen
predators hiding
behind the words on the screen
remember my past
and know i gotta intervene
on behalf of the ones
still stuck in the machine
you see the glitz and the glam on instagram
they don’t tell you that they shackled for life
to uncle sam
so i’m praying that this reach you in time
forget the likes
the is the dark side of the mic
[verse 2]
can’t survive in a world
that pays tithes in black lives
black ties collect the revenue of black pride
everything they said to do
it was all lies
soon as the legends got they ownership
they all died
so now i emulate the sound of the soul
playing the role of motivator
pray i’m reaching the goal
it’s now or later
now or never leave a chance that i fail
promoting positivity
to keep the kids out of jail
it’s no coincidence
the industry plants
projecting ignorance
then lack accountability
for children stuck in limerence
break the trance
i’m trynna protect the innocence
tired from the walk
but the journey is worth the sweat
ownership
means that i did it without the debt
blessed by the quality people that i have met
the dark side been known to seduce
it isn’t worth the abuse
[bridge]
too many grown men, women and kids getting abused
just so we can be amused
(hey hey)
this is not the hill you wanna die on
(drop this)
then you gone get spied on
too many grown men, women and kids getting abused
just so we can be amused
(hey hey)
this is not the hill you wanna die on
(drop this)
and they might just slide on you
[hook]
my vision been clouded
by all the sins that i’ve seen
predators hiding
behind the words on the screen
remember my past
and know i gotta intervene
on behalf of the ones
still stuck in the machine
you see the glitz and the glam on instagram
they don’t tell you that they shackled for life
to uncle sam
so i’m praying that this reach you in time
forget the likes
the is the dark side of the mic
[outro: coryxkenshin]
they want you to fail
they don’t want you to break out
they want you to stay right where you’re at
right where they like you to be at
because it’s the truth
you can do anything that you want to do
anybody that says otherwise
don’t have your best intentions at heart
