Shady World (feat. Kurtis John)

Uh huh, ay

I'm seeing crazy things when I have these shady dreams (uh huh)
I can't tell what is real, and I can't tell what is make believe
I'm hearin' lies, seeing abuse and slavery
Somehow I'm feelin' like the world I'm in wasn't made for me
They say God listens, I wonder who gon' pray for me (wonder who)
Maybe the woman that was rasing me, my mother is amazing
She held my eyes open until she made me see
I gotta do my own thing, I'm Shady and not afraid to be (Shady Blaze)
I got a woman and I'm with this woman faithfully (uh huh)
Live a happy life on this planet
That's what they hate to see (yeah they hate it)
I hope I get out of this phase soon
Thinkin' I can by spillin' feelings over a Spadez tune
Now understand, I was raised in a town where everyone had a gun
That's power over me so I felt that I had to have me one (I had to)
Now I gotta watch for these niggas and the cops
I know they life is hard but this shit has gotta stop

It's a shady world, it's a shady world
A shady world (oh, oh, oh, oh)
All you boys and girls, better listen up
'Cause it's a shady world (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm my own man, I got my own plan, taking matters into my own hands
The way that I'm feelin', you all have no chance
I'm good, so is my whole fam, Green Ova is the mob
Used to rap for fun, and suddenly rappin' turned to a job
Feels like I'm in a steel cage, it's the world versus Shady
I'm known as a fast rapper, but been slowin' the verses lately
Life is crazy
They don't know who you are then
They looking down on you (looking down)
Doing anything they possibly can to keep a frown on you (ay)
But I'm a true fighter, fast like a new Viper (but)
They say my screws loose, callin' the blunt the screw driver
Puffin' and puffin', now nigga tell me who's higher (who)
Say y'all bringin' that heat, well Shady's bringin' that new fire
You all could say what you want, I don't care who you are
I'm a nigga out the hood, I ain't tryin' to become a superstar
Just doing something that I love to keep me from going crazy
To live life is gamble, the world is shady

It's a shady world, it's a shady world
A shady world (oh, oh, oh, oh)
All you boys and girls, better listen up
'Cause it's a shady world (oh, oh, oh, oh)

It's the time in my life I won't back down (no I won't, no I won't)
It's the time in my life I won't back
Down (no I won't, no I won't, no I won't)
It's the time in my life I won't back
Down (no I won't, no I won't, no I won't)
It's the time in my life I won't back
Down (no I won't, no I won't, no I won't)
It's the time in my life I won't back
Down (no I won't, no I won't, no I won't)
It's the time in my life I won't back
Down (no I won't, no I won't, no I won't)
