lirik lagu cam carter - shadows
[chorus: lauren ashen]
free from all old stories i’ve been told
i walk through the valley of my own
shadows
[bridge]
my shadows, alright
(mike g you can’t do this to em man)
yeah
[verse 1: cam carter]
i used to hate on history
but now i understand (why)
we beating on drums with our hands
and singing to a can for a century
the renaissance man
claims omnipotence but ridiculed
but embraced by the fans
pray to god for the power
to really make a stand
now that knowledge overwhelms
we’ve become too far advanced
but if we succ-mb to the viccisitudes
and listen to demands
sign a paper for a dollar
when n0body really gives a d-mn
while our visions are mystery
trapped in prisons in a cage
knowing that we can make a change
but we’re really too afraid
taking vets out the way and blast em on the front page
when you’re lyrically on point they call you legally insane
and they lying to the world
when this sh-t happens everyday
but when those bodies cover grounds
and all those benefits fade
tanks are riding through your neighborhood
pointing guns at your face (alright)
its too late… it’s a cold cold place
[chorus: lauren ashen]

i walk through the valley of my own
shadows
free from all old stories i’ve been told
i walk through the valley of my own
shadows
[verse 2: cam carter]
labeled as a citizen but will i win? (alright)
pleading my allegiance to a country in defense (never)
when it’s hard for our families to ever get a chance
to appear, or have structure, or even make sense
(think about it) think about it
what if we come together for eachother?
they call it riot
they shooting rubber bullets at our brothers
is uncle sam just standing there? (yeah)
watching us cry? (yeah)
watching us bleed? (yeah)
watching us die?
working sixty hour weeks
barely lucky to have work
while our kids giving foodstamps
away to they church
catching felonies when we just tryna get it on our own
gotta couple different credit cards
like can i get a loan? (can i get a loan?)
but they tapping our phones
can we ever get along?
they give the peace to the deceased
but can i get it?
let me know
thanks for the… well that’s nothing but a bill
while ya so called “friends”
set you up to get ya k!lled (yeah)
[chorus: lauren ashen]
free from all old stories i’ve been told

shadows
free from all old stories i’ve been told
i walk through the valley of my own
shadows
[verse 3: cam carter]
i been investing in a miracle
with scars on my heart
it’s a crying shame that we are what we are
a modern day slave
glued to the news, still amused
and confused, too lazy and estranged
doing what we do
all our dreams at our fingertips but never pull through
staring at the moon, feeling like a d-mn fool
tripping on drugs, selling dope in the school
you cheating off me, what you gonna steal my name too? (alright)
it’s bleeding america
where did the love go?
she breaking down rocks just to snort em up her nose (nose)
girls spreading legs little needle in a hole (hole)
used to be loyal till the love doc croaked (he dead)
can’t find a job so she gotta work a pole
so in and out of jail she making money on the low
cold game so dirty it’ll never need soap
till she jumped off the porch
with her neck tied to rope (yeah)
its a wrap
it’s a cold cold game (it’s a cold cold game)
