In the Shadows
Verse 1
Traditional primitive highly trained
To get pleasure first endure the pain
tolerance limited precision with the aim
don’t need no rep don’t need no fame
Survival of the fittest been the name of the game
Only eight pounds of pressure between joy and pain
Only eight pounds of pressure between joy and pain
Chorus
Real thugs keep it on the down-low
When they put in dirt no-one else knows
A guaranteed today ---not tomorrow
Go hard and die ——— without sorrow
I live amongst the heartless
So I stay in the shadows
limited choices—- not the life I choose
Sooner or later they’ll be exposed
game tight-lets suppose they doze
sound covers-up sound
Enter into the light
ones slip they go down
Day covers up night
Time goes on AIGHT!
I live in the shadow believe in the echo.
Past present and future heed both friends and foes
Deceived by the trusted nonbelievers and corrupted
A hard life‘s lesson to learn wasn’t sunshine but I rose
it doesn’t matter anymore ——in life anything goes
——anything goes
Chorus
A danger yes potentially
If threatened by hostility
are you ready can you see
Or blinded by mentality
you’re not alone entirely
Why blame it on society (X2)
———this is where I call home
A modified War zone
below the surface pure blood and bone
heart carve from stone
No mercy given none shown
kings dethroned—-but much respect if you hold your own...
