Shadows Lyrics by ​L.A.B. (NZL)

L.A.B. III

2019

[Verse 1]
I see it on the screens, surrounding me
A distant dream, that's where I wanna be
Wake up everyday, keep me in the race
Now I know what it means, gotta make my way
Working so hard just to get to you
Fortune and fame I'll see it through
And now it's in your head, already said
So now you're in the crew oh tell me

[Chorus]
The shadows
Who am I to walk in your fame?
Only one step when I walk behind
Now I realize the game, in the shadows
I said I know, I know

[Verse 2]
Third gear now I know I got a reset
Got no money now, it's overhead
Fast car, sleeping in the backseat
My last chance I'll burn and see
All that I love is leaving, gotta get back that feeling
And now we realize, he's out of time
A man with a plan but none

[Chorus]
In the shadows
Who am I? I walked in the fame
Give another chance keep me in the game
Oh I can't pay my way

In your shadow
Who am I? I walked in the fame
Give another chance, keep me in the game
Oh I can't pay my way, in the shadows
I said I know, I said I know

[Verse 3]
Third gear, now I know I got a reset
Got no money now, it's overhead
Fast car, sleeping in the backseat
My last chance, I'll burn and see
All that I love is leaving, gotta get back that feeling
And now we realize, he's out of time
A man with a plan but none

[Refrain]
In the shadows
The past I walked in the fame
Couldn't get by till I rode that line, now it's all gone again
In the shadows, the past I walked in the fame
Couldn't get by till I rode that line, now it's all gone again
In the shadows, in the shadows
