In the Shadows Lyrics by Dom Vallie

Nights

2017

[Intro]
Help! The shadows are moving! They're coming alive!
Sheesh
Yeah
Yeah
Uh

[Verse 1]
Bitch, you must know that I move like that shadows do
Silent and quickly, I'm not coming back for you
Scared of the dark 'cause that shit leave you black and blue
Scheme in the night and there's no place I'd rather move
I been working in the shadows (Woo)
Sharpen my tools like I'm going to battle
I'm ready, I'm ready, put guards at your castle
Swear I'm making moves like Clay Matthews make tackles
Like brap, brap, brap, brap
Nigga, now I'm successful
Now I got cheques due
Right now, I don't trust you
Right now, I'm like, "Fuck you"
Right now, I'm above you
On God, that's the mood
Niggas sleeping on me
Yeah, they stay pressing snooze
What it do? What it do?
That's the reason why you lose
That's the reason I got W's
I know that it troubles you
You ain't getting recognition like you is a substitute
Ooh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I work while you sleep
I make moves that you can't see
I can't breathe (No)
Too many chains on my neck, set me free (Yeah)
Too many cheques on my desk, no degree (Yeah)
Shh, please (Shh)

[Chorus]
I work in the shadows I do
There's no place that I'd rather move (No, no, no, no)
Said I work in the shadows, I do (I work in the shadows)
No place that I'd rather move (No, no, no, no)

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Cut that shit, stop playing
That's all fake you claiming
You don't know nobody that you naming
I'm bodying all your ratings
You hardly being creative
Embodying what my name is
Just copying all the same shit
And not being what you claiming
You sloppy and fucking brainless
I hate it, I fucking hate it
Yeah, get the fuck up out my face, bitch
Your whole clique is fucking basic
You hear a sound and then you take it
Bitch, you disgust me
I smell the bullshit in the fibs you discussing
You twit, you came up off corruption
Like Soviet Russians, you cannot be trusted
If that offends someonet then so be it, fuck 'em
I'm done with the bluffing, so stop interrupting
Or a nigga gonna come for your head like I'm hunting, yeah
Let the dogs out, start running, bitch

[Pre-Chorus]
I work while you sleep
I make moves that you can't see
I can't breathe
Too many chains on my neck, set me free
Too many cheques on my desk, no degree
Shh, please

[Chorus]
I work in the shadows I do
There's no place that I'd rather move (No, no, no, no)
Said I work in the shadows, I do (I work in the shadows)
No place that I'd rather move (No, no, no, no)
