Thelonious Love - S HA D O W S

What is it that makes these motherfuckers lose their mind?
Don't y'all realize this climate change shit is real?
The shit be fuckin' with y'all
Y'all keep comin' out here actin' like some straight bitches
But that's all right
I got young Theo with me
He's about to set you motherfuckers right
(Theo, pour it up)
I got my shadows too
Some of them in the room
Sometimes I get consumed
I’m kinda fucked up too
I know I can’t excuse
I’ve broken lots of rules
I know I have to choose
I got so many tools
What am I suppose to do?
Why am I asking you?
I know what I wanna do
I’m not stopping you
What do I have to lose?
What do I have to do?
I’ve risked everything I have
Just to talk to you
I told the truth and now I’m treated like the bad guy
Would you like me better if I had told you lies?
My guilty conscience preying on my insecurities
I'm paranoid of cooked cops killing me
I only trust the people that know the dark side of me
Losing loved ones has always put the fear in me
I get stressed out and bury it all deep inside
It’s hard to tell me anything cause I’m full of pride
Look me in the eyes; Why are you surprised?
I’m not your perfect prize; I’ve done this all my life
When I was young I had to figure shit out the hard way
Mister Know-it-all; I’ve always got something to say
I have my doubts and I don’t like being wrong
This is a new piece of me confessing in this song
I can’t lie; I spend a lot of time at home
A room full of people but I often feel alone
That’s not to say that I don’t wanna be here
But every now and then I gotta disappear
I hope you understand, I hope I’m being clear
I still struggle too, holding back the fear
Can you heal me? Can you feel me?
What’s it gonna take to make the people see
What’s it gonna take? I’m begging for some peace
Can you heal me? Can you feel me?
What’s it gonna take to make the people see
What’s it gonna take? I’m begging for some peace
I’m not the same man I was when I started this
Change is hard; I don’t always get along with it
I lost some friends; not everyone is down to ride
I learned from them; warriors only on my tribe
I’ve got scars. My life feels like a battlefield
I going hard just sharing how I feel
Stress. Doubt. Pain. Love. (Money. Fear. Death.)
Fights. Debt. Success. What’s up? (Life. War. Credit.)
I’m not the only one
We all can feel the sun
That goes to everyone
We have to overcome
My mother and her sons
Father and his wife
Cousins and my sisters
We have to live our lives
I can’t save em all
I have to save myself
I just hope my story can help somebody else
Help somebody heal; Help somebody see
The truth is all you need and it will set you free
Can you heal me? Can you feel me?
What’s it gonna take to make the people see
What’s it gonna take? I’m begging for some peace
Can you heal me? Can you feel me?
What’s it gonna take to make the people see
What’s it gonna take? I’m begging for some peace
I gotta shake these demons holding onto me
(Gotta shake these demons)
