Lyrics
"The Shadows"
-When my world was crashing all around me, all my hope was gone,
I was drowning in darknessa026. barely hangin on
Ana019 out of the shadows you appeared, and helped me breathe again
So when it all goes bad, I wona019t start to fall, cuzz--- I can find You in the shadows-
God I must confess,
I am sorry if I didna019t follow your divine path-
Beautiful distractions kinda019a got me sidetracked
It just seems shows my own human imperfections-
It seems the only way; that I can ever fight my demons,
Is with these words on papera014
Poetic music is- my anti drug- my anti slut
My number one love, but second to God-
Cuzz I know that He was there, durina019 all my trials-
And when that car crashed, He held onto my life,
All of those crazy azz nights when I partied too hard and I should have just died,
he chose to spare mine-
Ana019 all of those times, when people tried to fight me, your spirit was inside me,
you kept me safe like money-
When all my fears consume me, and shame becomes a burden,
I am reassured that, jesus hasna019t yet forgotten, what was written in the scriptures,
---All our sins have been forgiven---
Use me as you will Lord, I am at Your service!
Here is verse two- yo Chee and Chong I drink to you-
And Two more shots for Linda- Ia019m not an alcoholic,
This is simply just symbolic- even though youa019 aint here no more I can feel-
All the disappointment, ya loved me like brother, I promised that Ia019d watch yoursa026
But now it feels so distant- as if I lost a cousin- we walk our separate paths-
Listen for his voice yoa019 hea019s not on this track,
Now to my grandmas,
Naw aint forgotten, what I told yall by your coffin
the 151 didna019t erase my memory, I just made a wrong move,
I can still continue
-Youa019d be sad to see that,---- our family is cut up
And Not by a chainsaw, but because of their choice
All of your grandsons are far from perfect
Never went to college-
I gave it a try, came back as a failure, turned a new corner
Life is not a game, but as long as I can breathe, then ita019s not yet too late
To press start over,
What has been started, must come to end,
Sad aina019t it huh? How fast time can move-
It was just like yesterday, when we was still kids
Out playin pokemon and tradina019 yugi-oh-
Remember that one promise?
That as soon as we could drive, wea019d go ana019 get some icecream?
Ita019s funny how time, can make you forget things
We begin to overlook, all the small and nice things
Instead wea019re out chasing girls, and slamming ---drink after drink
Ana019 It eats away our brain--
Gets us motivated only by paper,
We get caught up in between, Aphroditea019s desire
And you light up the club, like a forest on fire
But then after word, therea019s nothing but ashes,
Only fragments of remnants
Then it all just wona019t matter,
Cuz youa019re by yourself, still hung-over
Mana026What ever happened To?-- just getting some ice cream?
