Sat in the Dark

[Verse 1]
Sat in the dark
Phone face down
I been mindin my marks
You just run your mouth
Talk big online
In real life quiet
I been cuttin off ties
Like I’m on a diet
You want my pain
For your little show
But you ain’t ever there
When the curtains close
[Chorus]
Sat in the dark, I ain’t need your opinion (nah)
You don’t feed my soul, you just feed on my business (on my business)
Talk about my name like you wrote my decision
But you ain’t in the room when I make my revisions
Sat in the dark, I ain’t need your permission (never)
I don’t chase your clap, I don’t crave your attention
You can keep your likes, I’ma keep my vision
Sat in the dark, I ain’t need your opinion
[Verse 2]
You say “do this, do that”
You ain’t even do you
Tried to draw my path
With a pencil see-through
I was broke, you laughed
I got up, you stressed
Funny how your advice
Come free, cost less
I been learnin my scars
Like a private lesson
You been learnin my life
Just to use it in a sentence (wow)
[Chorus]
Sat in the dark, I ain’t need your opinion (nah)
You don’t feed my soul, you just feed on my business (yeah)
Talk about my name like you wrote my decision
But you ain’t in the room when I make my revisions
Sat in the dark, I ain’t need your permission (never)
I don’t chase your clap, I don’t crave your attention
You can keep your likes, I’ma keep my vision
Sat in the dark, I ain’t need your opinion
