SLEEPING IN THE SHADOWS YET MY BLOOD NEVER FREEZES by KILL EM ALL 1989 Lyrics
[Verse 1: KILL EM ALL 1989]
I be living in the back of my mind (aye)
Always tryna find a way that I can break from the bind (yuh)
Always tryna find a way the I can break what's assigned
Always tryna find a way that is how i'm designed, made to take what's mine (yeah)
Who could have the nerve to tell me what to be? (what)
None of y'all people understand what I am meant to be (aye)
None of y'all people see the passion, the drive, the energy, the actuality be waiting on that silver jubilee (aye)
I'm only in this for the music and no other reason
I'm eating all these motherfuckers I just slice 'em to pieces (boy, I do!)
I'm gonna get to the top while all you others are sleeping (yeah)
Sleeping in the shadows yet my blood never freezes
Broken in half, no nationality is sad
Broken and laugh, what nature force is sometimes bad
[Verse 2: KILL EM ALL 1989]
Stayin' up late at night just to work on tracks
Everyday, every night still got shitty stats
Don't know why, but I try to overcome the glass
See it through, but I don't know how to go and pass
All these losers see it through like it's easy
But i'm left aside hoping it's only just briefly
Stupid lyrics crappy writers and they all just greedy
Idiots run the scene, you gobble it up and i'm left confused completely
Am I just a different species?
Feeling kind of endangered living this life that no one identifies with
More of the new and less of the old
The mantra by which this world foretold
And yet these people are still obsessed with gold
More material and more was sold
Still thinking where did society turn?
What made this change and will the lesson ever be learned?
How can it be burned?
So deep in our minds that we can't find a way to escape it
I'm trying my best to explain it
Maybe one day we'll reshape it
Turn it all around and then we can embrace it
Meanwhile we can claim to hate it
Whilst we the ones that still maintain it
Whilst we the ones that still stained it
How can we ever find a way to change it?
Is it ever to late to change?
I don't know
I be living in the back of my mind (aye)
Always tryna find a way that I can break from the bind (yuh)
Always tryna find a way the I can break what's assigned
Always tryna find a way that is how i'm designed, made to take what's mine (yeah)
Who could have the nerve to tell me what to be? (what)
None of y'all people understand what I am meant to be (aye)
None of y'all people see the passion, the drive, the energy, the actuality be waiting on that silver jubilee (aye)
I'm only in this for the music and no other reason
I'm eating all these motherfuckers I just slice 'em to pieces (boy, I do!)
I'm gonna get to the top while all you others are sleeping (yeah)
Sleeping in the shadows yet my blood never freezes
Broken in half, no nationality is sad
