[Verse 1: Hodson]
Titles, titles, titles
Don't give me a name, my titles speak for themselves
Titles, titles, titles
I don't need no more, just fix me up with more shelves
Take you for a ride, so yeah it's time to hit the locks on
Cooking Asian beats, we bring the heat and stick the woks on
Defining every name, we turned this rap into a rock song
Don't need my degree, but when i'm done that's BA Oxon
I'm a sure reality, even if I'm tending to chaos
Even when she calls my name I still find myself feeling way off
Truth, truth, truth, yeah I know I always say the same thing
But I can't keep from the unconscious black I'm individuating
All I ever needed was creating
I'm formless and empty, just some titles on a shelf
All I ever needed was some arranging
Someone in the chaos to come and find myself
[Chorus]
I'm living in the shadow of myself
I ain't no dreamed up perfect form
I'm living in the shadow of myself
Just the realest thing that ever was born
I'm living in the shadow of myself
I ain't no dreamed up perfect form
I'm living in the shadow of myself
Just the realest thing that ever was born
[Verse 2: Breed]
Shadow of myself, fighting through the blackness
I volunteer as a tribute, but they ain't calling me Katniss
Not wearing baggy trousers, no we ain't Madness
This beats of the scale, just check it's phatness
We fattened it up, and made a turkey
Beats so hot, that it's getting me thirsty
There's fire in the booth, and it's time to get dirty
No this ain't a song, it's feeling like a journey
A journey in the dark, get all the animals on the ark
We make the Labradors meow and all the kittens to bark
Speed of light, speed of sound, make the crowd pound the ground
Ain't heard of us before but our time is now
The freshest meat and only make the freshest beats
And not to long Yeezy'll be making special feats
So grab your sons, grab your daughters
And get ready to just to the chorus
[Chorus]
I'm living in the shadow of myself
I ain't no dreamed up perfect form
I'm living in the shadow of myself
Just the realest thing that ever was born
I'm living in the shadow of myself
I ain't no dreamed up perfect form
I'm living in the shadow of myself
Just the realest thing that ever was born
[Verse 3: Porter]
Phresh Clique are about keep yours eyes peeled
Explosive bars, yeah we spitting in a minefield
Everybody knows we running the chrime scene
We've got the answers, the bible is a mark scheme
Yeah, cause when I feeling the heat, standing ovation
I get the crowd on it's feet victories
We never feeling defeat, we make you nauseous, listen to our sick beat
Boy better know Phresh Clique get around
Blowing your mind with the wickedest sound
So ruthless moving the ground
It's a house of pain so jump jump around
[Chorus]
I'm living in the shadow of myself
I ain't no dreamed up perfect form
I'm living in the shadow of myself
Just the realest thing that ever was born
I'm living in the shadow of myself
I ain't no dreamed up perfect form
I'm living in the shadow of myself
Just the realest thing that ever was born
[Verse 4: Squire]
When the track starts banging, trust the click to get it popping
Packing up rooms with a clique, Mary Poppins
Green light to the top, we ain't never stopping
Scarring man with bars from birth, you know whose dropping
So we stay fresh, so how I'm going off?
J.J.Watt with the vision, you can't throw me off
You doing thing by the book, we do things be the cross
I got the fire, now I've got the bottle, boy I'm a Molotov
Each track topping myself, no suicide
Easy to go line to line, like I'm running suicides
I started of rolling, now I'm a landslide
But poison in each bar, cycinde
About to chop like Tech N9ne, Canon, Twista, Busta Rhymes
Nothing like true crimes
Coming to k** 'em, I'm bringing the pain when I hit 'em, so similar, stick 'em up
Arabian beat, what a rave he in, P...P...Peninsula, so sick I pen insulin
I'm in a...
[Outro: Hodson]
Shadow of myself
And these thoughts never going to get old
I'm living in the shadow of myself
Desperate for something to hold
