TheMIND - Shadow Man lyrics

[Intro: Phoelix, TheMIND, Cam O'bi] How do you see me? How do you love me? How to do you remember me? I'm a rotten nightingale I hope that darkness keeps you well When I can't fall asleep at night I blindly taught myself to fight Aw shadow man shadow box, please keep your hands up And if you get knocked down don't forget to stand up Bless the nightingale Darkness keep you well Bless the nightingale Darkness keep you well [Verse 1: Noname] Shadow man shadow box, dance in the dark with me This resurrected agony there's apathy for caskets Everything I ever loved I lost in the magic I claim by the river, my body delivered When I die there's 27 rappers at my funeral Moses wrote my name in gold and Kanye did the eulogy Remember all the bashfulness, understand the truancy Here I stand in front of a college dropout My music was a church when my spirit hopped out Met a gypsy in LA and she reading my palm tree Mysterious situation like kissing the concrete i.e getting money I been close to heaven Baby claim he love me, hold me down forever I never should have bought this halo He waiting for me at his table My funeral a Disney fable Cause the king bout to take me home [Verse 2: Saba] Preach, church, tabernacle, Tallaha**ee sunshine Southern is my bloodline we know it'll come time...to go And though I leave like alumni I'm lying like a lullaby and quiet like my tongue tied...alone Bury me in satin, tell the pastors say the sad sh** same cla** with the whole...first row And if ashes turn to ashes then I'm back in my first form with a dust storm with a corner...and coke Morbid or late, Lord give Lord take Viva la muerte, mortal man Less love, more hate More like mortician, we meet our fate Funeral home lookin like a home that I used to live in You wasn't supposed to go so soon I took it for granted Maybe we'll meet the next life, maybe another planet Open my soul but then it'll end with an open casket [Verse 3: Smino] Uh ay Tippy toe on a tightrope Leaning on green and it gon be a dice roll I'm feenin a feline who mindset Afeni I got 2pacs for us Gold on my gumline done got rich off my tongue Sticky dro in the tight roll Cleaning my grievances As a lil' heathen I Sat pledge allegiance out Never believed in yall System I needed more And I done went Figaro with the finger roll Landed wrong split my head, start leaking songs And i'm worser than they worst, they make a n***a live forever Flock with them birds, my heart stay lighter than a feather It's gon be n***as boomin' at my funeral Tell em play Metro Boomin' at my funeral St. Louis taught me d**h could be your neighbor, stay away Don't take the family for granted better days away [Outro: Phoelix, TheMIND, Cam O'bi] Bless the nightingale Darkness keep you well Bless the nightingale Darkness keep you well Bless the nightingale Darkness keep you well Bless the nightingale Darkness keep you well
