In the Shadow of the Puppet Master Lyrics by James PM

A Bottle of James

2023

[Verse 1: James PM]
Here I am again, take me as I come please
Cast aside your judgment, I’m sensing something that’s bubblin'
Up and the thoughts of any repercussion ain’t something that I ain’t used to
Murphy’s Law, everything I say can and will be used against me
In the shadow of the puppet master
What do I need to give to you, what do you want?
You need a fund, you need a muse?
Pushing me over the edge? You wanna use me
You Want me to lose my cool? Do it look good on the news?
What is your angle? want me depending on you?
Putting my vision to rest, leading me on with a check?
Give me a noose, see if it fits my neck?
I can feel it, manipulate me into lookin crazy
The same thing they tried to pull with Jay-Z
I seen how they treated will smith in those interviews
Demonized, In the eyes of people that are tantalized so easy
Same thing they want to do with Yeezy, they say
In your prime of your life is where the devil lies
You can change the world, change a life
Change a culture for the better
Leave a legacy that stand the test of time
But a slap where we gotta draw the line damn
[Chorus: T Vinci]
Stringed up in the shadow of the Puppet Master
The devil tryna bring me down at my highest pathway
Now I’m watching my life pass me by, but now I’m asking what
I need to give to you
To get some self control in this life I’m livin'
Cut off all these strings and let me breathe for a single minute
This life is a facade, I’m shouting out for you to tell me what
I need to give to you
[Verse 2: James PM]
Here I am in the flesh
Uncertain of my future, in the shadow of the puppetmaster
Free is just a blank check
Be Careful who you sharing all your talent with
Handful of people who be glaring at you
Trust me, they gon rub their hands together for a chance at establishment
Grab ‘em quick, sell your dream, then flip, leave you stranded and dip
They put you out just as soon as you lit, just make sure you’re equip
You’re in the shadow of the puppetmaster
What do I need to give to you, what do you need from me
People to click into stations?
Am I your justification?
Is it the fact I’m desperate?
Need me to carry your message?
Need me to make you a profit?
Subliminally a target?
I can feel it, you just want to own me for your benefit
Percentages, percentages, the tools for your leverage
I signed away my freedom and you got it on the cameras
Should’ve read the fine print, id find that, I’ve always said
In the prime of your life is where the devil lies
Well I’ll be damned, why couldn’t I listen to my own advice
