Lost In the Shade Songtext
von Shane Eagle

Uh

What′s the reason?

What's the reason I′m living? I keep my mind on a mission
I got a kid that I'm missing a whole lot

Figured that they could put me inside of a closed box

A nine to five was never the timing
I chose not to listen to those lies
I'm a free black man, homie, catch me if you can
Tryna slap me with a label, I be slipping out they hands

Got a girl in Colorado and she always making plans
Got me kicking it in Aspen, making whitey mad sick
Rubbernecking, fucking up the traffic
Never seen a black kid carefree or free at all
Watch me as I′m skiing off
Catch me at the Little League, Lil′ Cole to teeing off
Iconic, I be happy taking the train, ain't it ironic?
Used to be a slave and now I got the world in my pocket
So fuck a smartphone
Lights off and watch the stars glow, I cannot fold, yeah


Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Ayy, don′t follow me, don't follow me
I got these dreams of my own
Hoping I can make it out and hope these stories get told
I don′t even know which way to go
Or how the past, present, or the future unfolds
But life moving too quick, I think I need to backspace
Can't help the fact that I feel like this is a rat race
′Cause everybody's chasing cheese

And not enough is chasing dreams
For me, that's the most important thing I need in this life


That′s the reason I am here and I am shedding this light
Get your mama that house and get your sister outside of that job
You know the devil comes to steal and to rob
Two-twos and four-fours, I blast these niggas like hoes
Hope you ready for that karma when it knocks on your door
Heard that shit′s a fucking bitch, that's why I keep my shit clean
Only time my palms itching when it itch for the cream
If you can dream wide awake, then you can die in your sleep
But my chakras all aligned, I meditate and repeat, yo

And find some peace in my mind
I know that Heaven′s not a place, it's just a matter of time
So demons will pass, don′t get lost in the shade
Heroes will come around your neighborhood and won't rock capes, uh
Know the devil comes in all forms and shapes
So wipe your eyes, feel no pain, there′s gon' be a brighter day
Ayy, don't get lost in the shade

Don′t get lost in the shade
