Wade - Shadows lyrics

[Hook] When my world was crashing all around me All my hope was gone I was drowning in darkness Barely hanging on Out of the shadows, you appeared And helped me breath again So when it all goes to black I won't start to fall Because I can find in you in the shadows [Verse 1] Why do I look for meaning in moments that you'll forget? It's that "stare the ceiling" feeling in my chest But my head's on my knees, hands on my hair Asking if anyone, anyone really cares Calling all these girls I'll never call my wife Friends discussing if some people are better at life Ignorance is bliss, because it protects happiness If it's wrong to be happy then I will never be right I heard if you want to know if you look like your friends See how they talk behind your back, that's how you look to them Middle finger to what they say, talk of the devil They talk behind my back because I'm ahead of them I thank God for Hip Hop, it gave me an identity Forever put this on my family, I give you everything Because when you trust who you are, in any and every weather You'll find that every day is your best day ever [Hook] [Verse 2] This may be nothing to you but it's everything to me Alive is the state I would do anything to be Christ's Second Coming is my mom saying "We made it!" Born to do greatness the day she made me Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought I've come too far to waste the lessons I've been taught Even if my life is no more, I'm never useless It's because of emptiness that the cup is useful The cover of my book weighs as much as the book itself Appearances run this world, so I'mma look my best But before you point and judge the worth of someone else Look three times, you got three fingers pointed at yourself Lotto ticket of my life like I'm starting from scratch I feel this in my soul I know this is my path Fixed up my lines, with my life as the cast This break I will catch, always remembering the times [Hook] [Verse 3] Next time's my last time, I'll make it my best time I'm finally talking with conviction, holding my chest high When I'm scared or don't care, I try to put it in God's Hands She gives it back and says, "Just be a fricking man!" They say all good things in life come to an end But I'm working hard so the best things can come again What if the best things in life are really not things? I know us rappers are trying to buy those feelings Man, I'mma go ballistic if I'm a statistic of all this I swear I'll erase our wish lists on Christmas I'd rather do what I love, and struggle Then be secure, but emotionally troubled If I was a doctor, I could help people survive But I'mma give them this life they've been so deprived Give my mom a hug, my dad and bro a high five I don't know about you but I'm glad to be alive [Hook]
