[Hook: Jay J]
I been livin' in the shadows
Can you tell me why we handle
All our problems this same way
This must end one day
Living in the shadows
We can't hide from our problems
And live in the shadows
We must solve this all one day
[Verse 1: Jay J]
Reachin' in my pocket, Thumbin' through that bra** and ammo
Boy I'm on a mission, my attire is that camo
Ridin' in a whip, empty headed as my bimbo
She always open wide like a window
Close minded thinking life was simple
Then it struck me hard...Kimbo
This is the beginning...Intro
Journey full of questions, Life is but a riddle
I'm feelin' myself, maybe just a lil'
I can spot a woman and I'll read her like a kindle
I'm kinda off the topic, cuz' I'm thinking bout' her middle
She askin' for it rough, I told her lay down on my pillow
[Pre-Hook: Jay J]
I get side-tracked so easily
Let me take a minute, just bear with me
The shadows gettin' close, it's callin' me
I hear it whisperin', it's wantin' me (yeah)

[Verse 2: Jay J]
All I see is trouble when I look at my surroundings
A struggle just to get to the top of the highest mountain
A newbie tryna swim in all of the deepest oceans
But never will I think that I can't win
I watch the world burn when I walk
We k**in' each other before we think to talk
The government finds ways to separate us all
But none of us care, we just tryna live and ball
This right here's for all my soldiers
Many have died to war or being homeless
Some just fight to k** as a bonus
Spouses out here cheatin' so people losing their focus
[Pre-Hook: Jay J]
I get side-tracked so easily
Let me take a minute, just bear with me
The shadows gettin' close, it's callin' me
