Don't Walk In My Shadow

Aye, we gotta do it. We gotta do it now
I feel it coming. I'm turning. I can't control it
Knowin' ain't what you wanna do, but you gotta do it. We gotta do this right now
We gotta do it

Birthed from a curse race
Doomed in the first place
And I done rose right from the tomb
And I look death in the face

Therefore, if I turn evil
And trade on all my people
Don't look at me as equal
Gon' cancel my sequel

Don't walk in my shadow
Don't dare follow me
Don't walk in my shadow
I was born from a cursed breed

Don't walk in my shadow
If I fall to the floor beneath
Don't walk in my shadow
Don't look for the lost seed

Ambition be the best of me
But sometimes I let it get the best of me
I was stripped of my family tree
So I know what I'm destined to be

Father Lord, I'll die for this
Forgive me if the devil don't miss
Evolving king got the hustler keen
That's my human metamorphosis

And I got the right
To make a sacrifice
You know you got the right
To go and take a life

But if I go too deep
Don't follow in the night
Look up to the stars
Keep following that light

I'm getting crazy
It's starting to phase me
Leadership skills
I'm getting lazy

Guess it's time to walk the plank
But don't follow me on the wood
I done fell off from the path
Try to put on for the hood

Don't walk in my shadow
Don't dare follow me
Don't walk in my shadow
I was born from a curse breed

Don't walk in my shadow
If I fall to the floor beneath
Don't walk in my shadow
Don't look for the lost seed

Standing tall with my biggest feat
Never one to ever go retreat
If I run cut off my feet
Kill me if I ever go to sleep

Damnatio memoriae
Forget everything I did today
If I ever dare betray
May I walk alone astray

Out in the deep end
Hard for me to swim in
The enemy's creeping
The voice is seeking
And if I give in

Then there'll be the end
I turn from the hero to my own villain
Don't walk in my shadow
Don't dare follow me

Don't walk in my shadow
I was born from a cursed breed
Don't walk in my shadow
If I fall to the floor beneath

Don't walk in my shadow
Don't look for the lost seed
I know this ain't what you want to do
I know I'm a man

Now I suffer from my consequences
If I ever turn my back
If I ever go rogue
Just strike me where I stand
