    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

I miss the old me
no matter weh dem try
no negative can hold me
yeah… I'm taking back my life now
I'm in control of me
mmmhmmm and I shoulda listen 
to wah mumma told me
now I miss the old me…

have you ever been blessed
but yuh still stressed?
doing better but yuh still can't invest
so you lose interest
then yuh ingest
all the bad mind negative mindset
don't fret… a so di ting set
the next days ahead 
are the best ones yet
can't let, nobody make you feel like less
or ashame fi proclaim 
you are the greatest 
I've been through so many tests
now mi walk with purpose inna every step
no second guess 
and the ones who say them a real
dem a the fakest
that's why mi big up mi own chest

I miss the old me
no matter weh dem try
no negative can hold me
yeah… I'm taking back my life now
I'm in control of me
mmmhmmm and I shoulda listen 
to wah mumma told me
now I miss the old me…

my dream big like a skyscraper
dem seh have patience but mi a nuh waiter
or nuh doctor, more like an actor
make moves, collect the paper
brush the haters off mi like this
big up all mi real friend
who never would switch
stay dropping hits like wi just cyah miss
cause we a di champion you never should diss!
...call me what you wish
still mi nah guh call it quits
cah di music make 
people jump and twist
dem a try a ting, but I was born for this
when mi chune drop
yuh girl a seh "that's my shit"
it's Paul2diAnthony
and let's face it, everybody won't like me
but when I touch the mic
I shine so brightly
I don't know anybody like me!

I miss the old me
no matter weh dem try
no negative can hold me
yeah… I'm taking back my life now
I'm in control of me
mmmhmmm and I shoulda listen 
to wah mumma told me
now I miss the old me…
