The Shadow II

Tall dark and handsome, often overlooked
They ain't believe me the first time
When I said I was a prodigy
I'm leaving them shook
We not on the same page, not in the same book
New chapter of my life
Chess moves, I'm in my corner like a rook

Me and DAJO, like Madlib and DOOM
Getting higher, levels to it, I ain't using shrooms
I got a lot in the tank, my fruits came on the loom
More than dos times I could've been taken to the tomb
Wasn't living for the hype, I ain't meet the woo
If I said I was tame, I'd be lying trying to pop off to the moon
I been sober so you safe from the smoke
But don't get it twisted or I'll make you dread your jokes

Like I'm locked up, should be scared of what's in my cell
What's in my genes, no corduroy
Mess with the boy I'll bring the hell
Bring the heat, flick the lighter but the bars heavy
Nasty, cutting deep like the machete

The machete of Jason
I can't believe you thought we was adjacent
Better comply cause this ain't the place to really be complacent
Everyday trying to run my race I can't be bothered by the racist
Told you I ain't playing might as well add to the playlist
The son of Ed, I was told get my education
Using my occipital, and thinking about my occupation
I was low in my previous location
Now my temperature high for cold blooded temptations

Realizing the art the main thing that I care for
Thoughts of suicide plagued me, but music there for
Me, so therefore I aim to be the greatest
I was listening to Earl, got a sweatshirt on at the latest
Hours of the night, but I don't go outside I don't like it
Wrote some raps songs, now I'm lit, fire ignited
Writing this before my dividends leave some divided
Before the plaques I'm writing gold, I don't need Midas

I could sense, they feeling touched what they hearing
Trying to see the impact, I could taste it, time nearing
Nobody knows, but this the reason why I'm breathing
To write lines, they sniffing, but I'll go OD with it
24 hours in the day, Kobe with it
Go beast with it, plant my feet, sow seeds with it
Transformation, Broly with it
Try to be like Jesus, see the dream they won't believe in it
Bleed with it

Piercing through the heart, sword deepening
Holy matrimony, one knee with it
Serving that food for the soul, so keep tipping
Tugging at my soul, I can't be loose I'm tightly gripping
It was times I lost my way, poster child he's missing
Ain't no Amber needed, embers ending, I'm needing a
Flame, inferno
Speeding it up like I got turbo
Tryna make my Gs humbly like Herbo
It was corny that was popping like a kernel

I'm trying to make waves, right now I'm too micro
If I'm being honest, I'm looking to be Tidal
Or rather tsunami, question my people like who really got me?
Organized, creative how I'm making paper origami
More than a hobby, I'll go to the music
I'm ok if I don't go to the party
You gassed up, but I'm driven, I could save up for a Ferrari
For what, just to say I did it?
If I'm trying to go far, then I need the windows tinted
Personally, I trained for this, like working at clinic
If I ain't trying to win it, then I wouldn't be in it
It was from the depths the earth that I was knitted
Intricate, I can't even cap unless it's fitted

Too many times that I was sitting on the benches
Thinking about all the times, I spent inside the trenches
Leaving it all not a dream, cause I could pinch it
It's The Shadow
