Shadow Boxing (Reprise)

I remember when I Used to dream I used to sleep and Wake up with all of these Ideas rattling that I wanna see Manifest and become my reality Crazy how six years later I'm still at it Still swinging these bars like axes Still throwing clever punchlines That knocks you off your axis Still leave your world spinning With writtens that I be craftin' Still unassuming in person You think you gettin' catfished You still can look in my eyes And see I got that passion Still refuse to back down Still about that action Still painfully aware That I'm a smart black man Especially dealing with All this racism in passin' Still aware that racism Is never gone pass and They still remixing the term More than JD and Diddy They still gon justify their ignorance With skewed stats and As long as Fox News is active There's gonna be a fraction of me That thinks we ain't gon' never see peace Still feel it'll get worse Before it's better i think But still got the peace of God And its dwelling in me so I'm okay showing y'all How to shadow box demons It means we still fighting Ain't no time to be grievin' Stayin' light on my feet when Shadow boxing these demons Shadow boxing these demons God's got me, I see Him I just gotta believe when Shadow boxing these demons Shadow boxing these demons Hard to avoid my heart Hardening from all of this I had to James Harden it And step back from the situation All of this energy I'm wasting With this empty faith that is, oh so hollow and I'm wearing it just to save face for People that don't truly understand What I'm placed to do I might not be the greatest But my music's irreplaceable I put all my soul into This so you can know it's true 'Cause you see that I refuse To be ill-prepared and lose Your attention cuz the lines I spit With well intentions mention Things that quicken spirits when it hit Because I been there too These lyrics that grip and move you 'Til you feel the room is spinnin' 'Cause it's so detailed And all this time You felt so minuscule But see that's the difference Between music that you hear with ears And art that you can feel in here That prove you not invisible Stand up to whatever pressure Or depression pressing Change your perspective and Shed some light on that Don't let the shadows through Shadow boxing these demons Shadow boxing these demons God's got me, I see Him I just gotta believe when Shadow boxing these demons Shadow boxing these demons Stick and move to the beat When life is pressing, 'cause we keep Shadow boxing these demons Shadow boxing these demons Don't let evils defeat you Don't give up on your dream when Shadow boxing these demons
