SHADOWS

I’m creeping through the shadows, dreams heavy like a boulder, Heart colder than the winter, but I’m grinding, getting older, Chasing paper, late nights, city lights, I’m on the rise, In the dark where the real ones, plotting moves, no disguise. Count my blessings, count my sins, I’m living on the edge, Whispers in the alley, got my mind locked on the ledge, A new star in the making, hear my voice, it’s like a curse, In this game of rap fame, every verse, I’m spitting first. Pain in the past, but I’m ready for the future, Got the hunger in my soul, can’t nobody be the tutor, Enemies lurking, but I’m focused on the grind, In the depths of the night, it’s my destiny I find. Every bar’s a step closer, can’t afford to lose, With the weight of the world, I’m just paying my dues, I want it all, no retreat, in this life I’m a star, In the dark, I’ll shine bright, yeah, I’m raising the bar.
