(Intro: Yamine)
Yeah, what’s up world, nothing but storytelling, [DHayesProductions] let me tell ya’ll some deep stuff aight
(Verse 1: Yamine)
Had bad thoughts and father problems (man)
True story I raised myself with a momma around me (uh)
Always in and out of different houses
Couldn’t stay on our feet so we switched couches (facts)
But that’s why ya’ll could never be me
If you knew who i was before I sold a CD
Felony before families ya’ll still won’t be yelling me free (yeah facts n***a)
[break]
Suicide thoughts never crossed my mind
But I always usеd my anger with the pen and I writе (yeah)
A couple of rhymes for a long time
Until I find the perfect spiral column, called it Columbine (my label)
All I find is people wanting me to give an open hand (fake ass n***as)
But my bandz is running low including my friends [YEAH BRO]
Some are best bloods when I’m down broke (Larry)
While the others only stick around when you have a bankroll (who?)
I-I-I won’t fold to any of these busters (naw)
These shadows and demons I’m gonna conquer you muthafuckers (yah)
You straight suckers, I’m never gonna lose this battle
Square ass n***as please stay the fuck from around me (you know it)
I’m a film major, tryna get my bandz up like Tyler Perry (Tyler Perry)
But sometimes this music shit keeps me in the telly (story)
My stories be boring and sometimes deadly (facts)
But I got you listening so I guess I’m ready (yeah)
(Chorus)
All these shadows yeah they follow me wherever I go
Try to hide but they keep crawling right inside of my soul
Even when I turn the lights out they won’t leave me alone
All these shadows yeah they follow me wherever I go
Wherever I go
(Verse 2: Yamine)
They say I like to stay isolated and to myself (yeah ok)
[this n***as weird plus he don’t need help]
I’m an observant guy I like to read your temperature (yessir)
To see how you move in order for me to get with ya (talk)
I won’t lie about my life, most n***as call me real
I don’t care about cancel culture or how ya’ll feel
I think for myself, and these sheep don’t like that
I’d rather be a Lion other then to be a housecat (yeah)
You young n***as always want to get the money
Spend it real fast, then go commit to something
You don’t wanna have knowledge so you hate on someone else
Steal they shoes, shoot they grandparents and go straight to jail
Ya’ll so busy following and deny getting a life
Do a crime, post it online, all just for some likes
Clout chasing is the worst sin nowadays
It use to be OK, but these reckless people too sway!!
(Chorus)
All these shadows yeah they follow me wherever I go
Try to hide but they keep crawling right inside of my soul
Even when I turn the lights out they won’t leave me alone
All these shadows yeah they follow me wherever I go
Wherever I go
(Verse 3)
I’m never gonna stop I’m never gonna go
I will always keep the rock, no matter where I go
I like to move forward, tell my shadows find a home
All these past thoughts won’t ever hurt my soul
