Shadow Boy

Hey hey hey hey
Once upon
Upon a time
What a time
In a low town
Was a boy
He caught on
With a song
And he went round
With a horn
And a thought
It went on
And it goes like
As above
So below
Was a flow uh
And he came from

The southern parts and
Wrong side of the street
He was a hated youngblood
Treated like a disease
Kept vibin' voodoo beats
All night and day
And with a trumpet blew away
From his family name

Hangs around in the
Dodgy parts of New Orleans
And he played his little trumpet
'til his fingers bleeds
Every teacher knows exactly
What the children needs
But this kid he had a barrel full
Of magic seeds. And he said

Mom and dad I'm gonna go my way
It doesn't matter what
The two of you will try or say
And I know your madness
Keeps on leaking through my veins
So let's call me shadow boy
And watch the demons sway

This kid was stubborn but I'll give him that
He's on a mission to make people realize the jazz
He could pick up the broken pieces
Broken people left
And put 'em back where they belong
To make 'em whole again

You play the jazz brass good kid
Like there's no tomorrow
But don't do voodoo like your daddy
Don't read cards like your mother

You got a damn knack for it
But don't sell your soul
Those companies will take your money
More than you can afford, so I say

Blast the pipe and be a champ for the low
We don't do blues here at the moment
Let the good vibes go

Turn the tails on all the fallen one's
That's in your way
Cus you make music
Anybody with a soul can hear

This kid had powers like you couldn't imagine
People stood in awe like they're frozen
But their shadows was dancing
And at the graveyard
You could hear the gospel go down
From the sound of singing voices
Six feet underground

The sky was covered in clouds
Turned to blue in a sec
Whatever what the kid did
He did a ton of it
And all the bones and all the shadows
Raises up from the pit
And break the walls and shake the ground
Just for the hell of it.
And it was

Action
Drama
Horror
Opera
Ghouls 'n goblins, hells armadas
Saints and sinners, losers winners
This is voodoo
For beginners

Well have I got some great news for you.
It's not that hard to make some magic
You just find the tune
Now

Just do what he did then you could not fail
And nothing was the same again
After he found his way
My boy went on along the shadows
Sent them straight to hell
They could'nt speak
But I am proud to live to tell the tale
