Shadows of 9/11

1. **Verse 1:** "Come with me look at how these niggas already throwing back down their shitty ass towels Was it you that took down the Twin Towers in NYC during 9/11? So come with me we're heading to Afghanistan Never been scared of any loaded weapon no matter if it even threatens life Learning its lesson as we go into a new session With professions from all of the obsessions leading to all kinds of expressions End up with many confessions now here come the heavens" 2. **Chorus:** "Shadows of 9/11 fall on my face Reflections of courage in a fearful place Hearts once filled with freedom now filled with pain Shadows of 9/11 remain" 3. **Verse 2:** "War zones etched in my memory forever Faces of innocent lives lost – I recall each feature From sea to shining sea, our nation once stood tall Now fear and terror loom – will freedom stand at all? My generation forged in aftermath flames Searching for answers – who bears the blame? Professions of faith tested – does God still remain? Shadows of doubt creeping – eternal pain" Chorus:** "Shadows of 9/11 fall on my face Reflections of courage in a fearful place Hearts once filled with freedom now filled with pain Shadows of 9/11 remain" **Adding Verse 3:** "Generation scarred by terror's deadly grasp Inherited trauma – forever to last Questions unanswered – wounds still unsealed Freedom's cost calculated – hearts forever revealed Through shattered remains, a glimpse of hope appears Collective resilience – through all our tears Can love conquer fear – or will terror reign? Shadows of doubt lingering – eternal pain" 4. **Bridge/Outro:** "In silence, I hear whispers of fallen heroes past Their legacy lives on – courage that forever lasts Shadows of 9/11 fade – light of hope remains Guiding us forward – through eternal pain."
