SHADOWS

LA LA LA Wanna take you to a higher plane A higher level now LA LA LA Before they wrap me in my funeral shroud Stuck in the ground LA LA LA Wanna take you to a higher plane A higher level now LA LA LA Before they wrap me in my funeral shroud Stuck in the ground There's something beautiful relating to the darkness I picture fields of green nestled inside the black shade Made, reborn and rebirthed from the ashes, Lacking self confidence, was quiet in my classes I turned to transformation and combusted like a phoenix Used my shadow to advantage tap into my genius Now I'm 10 feet tall, self love automatic, charismatic I became ecstatic Full potential the horizon my canvas Like a bandit I stole away, couldn't bother to stay Pain, synonymous with growth, I took an oath, at the age of 22 to renew, my outlook on life that was very skewed Hard to witness your reflection, when your perspective is one of imperfection Suicide on my mind, misdirection, misguided youth LA LA LA Wanna take you to a higher plane A higher level now LA LA LA Before they wrap me in my funeral shroud Stuck in the ground LA LA LA Wanna take you to a higher plane A higher level now LA LA LA Before they wrap me in my funeral shroud Stuck in the ground Endless nights sat alone working to be a wordsmith No one else around to share the battles with Eternal struggle, buried 'neath the rubble The psyches been troubled, weaker men would crumble But not me, I put down the bottle and the razor blade Fade the demons they are vanquished, inner child afraid No longer, tapped into my dark side now I'm stronger, yea we call it elevation A man fully grown finding purpose in existence, persistence the necessary fuel to go the distance Shoulder chip with somethin to prove, somethin to lose, only ego lost, could say I paid my dues Ill radiate these words all across the galaxy Gallantly, here to amplify your frequency A Messiah complex bestowed without divinity Resilience and passion I be the epitome LA LA LA Wanna take you to a higher plane A higher level now LA LA LA Before they wrap me in my funeral shroud Stuck in the ground LA LA LA Wanna take you to a higher plane A higher level now LA LA LA Before they wrap me in my funeral shroud Stuck in the ground
