    Light After Dark II: Time to Shine is Reggae/Dancehall artist Paul Anthony's second installment to his "Light After Dark" series which began 7 years ago. The phrase "Light After Dark" is a metaphor for searching for rays of light (positivity) in the midst of adversity. Paul's progression as an artist and an individual is displayed on this project with thoughtful lyrics about mental health and self-awareness.

lyrics

a setback is a part of life
it doesn't mean you fail
just pick yourself up
and gwan again
circumstances made me who I am
but through it all still I stand
so don't stop pushing forward
cause the righteous could never wrong

anytime you see me
I be on that new shit
anybody can say something
but I'm the type to follow through with it

but I never learn unless I feel it twice
and I really wish I'd take more good advice
see my problem is that I'm too good
and I'm too nice to some muthafuckas
that don't deserve it, no I'm not perfect
but I'm getting closer
working on myself so I might ghost ya
but I'll be right back
ten times doper in some kris loafers
light up the darkness the wait is over!

light after dark
it's time to shine
cause you’re a star
don't give up your grind
light after dark
free up your mind
love who you are
it's your fuckin' time!

let there be light…
light, light, light, light...
let there be light…
this is your time to shine,
shine…

we need more light in the world
all is not right in the world
all is not right in the world
we need more light in the world
dem still can't keep a good man down
they can't keep a good one down
now I smile, but I used to frown
funny how now I wear the crown
(Oh yeah yeah yes)
people make no mistake
if you want it then you can't just wait
there's sacrifices weh yuh haffe make
and chances you got no choice to take
still a your choice fi make
so what you wanna make of yourself today
I'm calling on all the young souljahs
let's show the yutes dem a better way
lead them to a brighter day
through dark times
maintain that flame
inside your heart, that keeps you blazing
don't give up, you're amazing
keep raising up yuh voice
until it is reverberating

light after dark
it's time to shine
cause you’re a star
don't give up your grind
light after dark
free up your mind
love who you are
it's your fuckin' time!

let there be light…
light, light, light, light...
let there be light…
this is your time to shine,
shine…
