Shadows

Let me take you back to when I was a youngin
Everything was simple I ain’t worrying bout nothing
But nothing turned to something
I been runnin’ through the game
I been building up the pain
When you finally living better now but nothing feel the same
I ain’t changed, yeah I’m still me
Always underrated now but that ain’t ever ruin me
All it do is fuel me
Friends turn to enemies but that ain’t nothing new to me
Hear the voices in my ear saying it ain’t meant to be
Fuck ‘em all
I made it here now I gotta ball
Back against the wall but I’m better under pressure, imma set it off
And everybody from my city watching everything I’m doing
Hoping that I’m gonna lose it, I won’t ever fall
I’m amazed by the critics
Never said that I was perfect but I’m livin’ how I live it
And I couldn’t give a damn if they got a problem with it
Cuz people be your friend only if they benefitting, wassup
I can feel it burning
I can see it coming in the shadows
I can never run away
I just need to find my way
I just gotta save me from myself
I can never go and let it change me
It’s the only thing I got
People tell me what to do, I been hearing that a lot
But you wouldn’t understand if you wasn’t in my life
When I gave it everything I had, working through the night
This is blood, sweat, tears
I been drained but I’m still here
Only getting started it be feelin’ like my rookie year
10 years later I been talking to the mirror
Tryna be a better man, letting go of all my fear
Imma let it out, didn’t know then but I got it now
Always gave trust til' they fucked it up and made me doubt
Thought it was a problem with myself but it turned out
People so cold in this world they don’t care about
Anybody else, or anything you doing
They always tryna doubt anything that you pursuing
Cuz it make 'em insecure if it’s something they ain’t felt
I done ran outta trust now I’m moving by myself
I can feel it burning
I can see it coming in the shadows
I can never run away
I just need to find my way
I just gotta save me from myself
