Rob Sheppard - Shadow of d**h lyrics

[Verse 1] We spend our whole lives trying to be something were not It's time to stop being puppets and we'll get to the top I promise to never do something I don't believe in Im reincarnated every day and today I will begin To follow the trail of success that others have left And replace every tear from all of the nights that I had wept Rise above the disgrace sorrow pain and distress Choose my moves wisely like I'm playing a game of chess I left my mind somewhere back in the rainy gutter I erased all of it and started over to fix the clutter I wrote out my thoughts n soul to give to the listeners Got over and accepted the fact that were all sinners I've made a couple of mistakes but you're no better Still Manage to keep my dignity I am no beggar Hip hop saved my life in a way I can not explain It took away my fears and regrets and my shame [Hook] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of d**h I will never fear for you I will have to my left With hip hop to my right ill be down for the fight Still keep my site though my visions blinded the light [Verse 2] I know that I'm walking through the valley but I'm calm She Understood that I had it in me all along This is where I was meant to be yes I belong So sure of it I couldn't possibly be wrong Hope to do this til i die im talking life long Couldn't wait any longer no I couldn't prolong I could've died in 7th grade and ended it all But I've come back again and I stand tall At this moment in time I swear everything is the best Of course I got some issues but I'm not losing any rest I bet Talks with my mom could probably be different But in all honesty it really wouldn't make a difference I can't make it not about the money I'm sorry It's in every body's eyes making em look starry Lying on the beach looking straight up at the sky Contemplating decisions and asking god why Who made up the first laws we had to abide by Calling out to him sounding like a battle cry I could ask a thousand more but I'm feeling shy My conscious is blowing up like Fourth of July
