Shadowz by Raakin Lyrics
[Verse 1: GxLlen]
I won't perceive on how I see myself completely different
I'm thinking good God but y'all paint me as the villain
Maybe I'm trippin', stumblin' over my insecurities and past ambitions
Those the things that got me failing missions
Drop a bag, just take action and get on with your living
Say "You wanna see the stars", you ain't even at the ceiling
You 20 dog, you supposed to be making a killing
You 20 dog, you supposed to be out there living
But instead you chasing blurred visions, you need medication
Grown man tryna be a rapper, you like motivation
Thinking to myself, is you gon' fail again, is that the plan?
Raise me without a father, but that don't make you less of a man
You gotta go and get it, cause them niggas think you can
Nothing to prove, I take it back, do it cause you can
From the land where brothers steady hatin', tryna fold your plans
Raised by some queens, I can't fail, I was born to win
Felt the gust of wind, that was my spirit telling me "I'm in"
Between a rock and a hard place
Been feeling pain for way too many years, you see it on my face
Feels like I'm running an endless race in last place
Two steps forward done forced us back
We came less about my city and more about these tracks
Been waiting for niggas to diss, so I can kill em' on wax
Infatuated with cash, I gotta pay people back
[Hook] x2
And you ain't paying to listen, so motherfuck criticism
I'm getting close to the edge, might pay the Devil a visit
'Cause I ain't going to Heaven, quite obvious sinning
In the shadows where I live, ain't seen a light in a minute
You ain't paying to listen, so motherfuck criticism
I'm getting close to the edge, might pay the Devil a visit
'Cause I ain't going to Heaven, it's quite obvious sinning
In the shadows where I live, ain't seen a light in a minute
[Verse 2: Raakin]
Look at me a young nigga tryna make it
No real platform, but a podium to speak a way with
Most people hated cause it's different, with a nostalgic feeling
Maybe growing, you like dick in your hands
Figures but, hop off, once I bust
Think your blow is a temporary job trust, that you'll know
'Cause only real supporters give my quarters back
When it's a long pass of a track and believe that it's outmatched
Equivalent to brilliance of a upcoming Shakespeare
Maybe a division, the way I paint my states here
Essentially a wordsmith, perfectly working through dirt, and introverted, exquisitely burning bridges
Of bitch ass niggas, I love to switch cha' face
You so uncomfortable, why the fuck you switching lanes
You get mad when a nigga diss you in yo face
You ain't have a real nigga in yo life, what you say
That's why I'm outta place, who to blame?
It's bloody wars on my claims
Maybe the shadows could explain
Not afraid of mine, could you say the same
'Cause the shadows to me were my history in shame
The way I grew up and the way I change
So I didn't glow up, there's no shimmer in my brain
I don't sparkle in the sun, without glitter on my face
So chasing ambitions, till' I wake up and get it
Yessir I'm committed, it's quite obvious sinning
I tear apart in these lyrics, a heart for me vivid
Any day could be the last, so I work hard till' appearance
And when I get my clearance, I keep a circle of my niggas that, kept me all the way in it
I promise if we get it, make it to the finish
We can walk out the shadows and let dreams turn to visions
But for now
[Outro: Raakin]
Toss into the fire, let me freeze Hell and the Sire
Give me a reason to become higher
Toss into the fire, let me freeze Hell and the Sire
Give me a reason to become higher
Toss into the fire, let me freeze Hell and the Sire
Give me a reason to become higher
Toss into the fire, let me freeze Hell and the Sire
Give me a reason to become higher
I won't perceive on how I see myself completely different
I'm thinking good God but y'all paint me as the villain
Maybe I'm trippin', stumblin' over my insecurities and past ambitions
