Shadows Lyrics by Retep

White Lies

2017

Verse 1
Can everyone just breathe for a minute
I just wasn't me for a minute
People coming if I leave for a minute
Giving up the deeds to the kingdom
If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be in the system
Id be changing speeds when im in it
Life becomes a breeze when im different
Zooming by the trees looking vivid
Drifting every street for a instant
Other words my drive is deep into the distance
No I won't give up the keys to the engine
All thr signs I never read when im shifting
Gears me for means that im hitting
While I live the dream that I drift in
Guess il stay asleep while the wheel is spinning
In the seat that I sit in driving till you rip my ticket


Verse 2
Your work never goes unseen for a minute
I had to change my plead for a minute
I promise to be me for the finish
Rappers think im weak this is business
Everytime I speak you have wished it
I throw the kitchen sink you do the dishes
The dirty work is free for the wisdom
Down the drain is green bad decisions
On a plate with cheese no assistance
Water down the greed thats a given
Down there is the fiends where they living
Uprising is creed all amongst the women
They really set the scene signing these petitions
Whos pulling all the strings cut off the additions
Hindsight always keen when the mindset competion
Blindness reings supreme when the rebellion never listens and they see


Verse 3
Enough of the spitting like that
Switiching it up and not giving it back
Rapping it up like I live in the lab
Ripping it up like im giving the gab
This giving is christmas can't fit in my lap
This chip on my shoulder is killin the moment
The wishlist is vicious man its so naughty just act like a body
And get in the bag
Theres nothing to hid im one of a kind
Just numb in the mind in love with the climb
Im flipping the ladder can make it go backwards
And maybe its something devine
Maybe the mummy just died maybe im coming alive
Maybe just biting the dust is igniting the lust
And judging my heart is same as touching my eyes
If I stay inside my hands tied so im bloodshot for the undead
And every eye drop means the guns cocked for the bloodshed
The bigger the trigger the bigger my finger
Im splitting the difference the quicker I hit it
Man its uplifting the shadows be dimming
Till I drive off in the sunset
