lirik lagu sunlight2003 - shadows

verse 1:
waking up early again, i got the ambition
but i know that there is something i probably am missing
mostly clear but fog is still blocking sam’s vision
thought it’d be a straight line but the path is half twisted
language has helped me navigate through many bad winters
provided an escape mechanism and is the
reason how i had the time to heal with bandages
but the light at the end of the tunnel’s so d~mn distant
try not to reply to the haters there dissing
try not to compare to the other men in this
hard when the music that i’m making vanishes
even though i’m like the only one who’s doing handwrittens
half of ‘em can’t even read and write (nope), let alone breathe in mics
though the melody that they be singing’s tight, where’s the multi~level schemes of rhymes? (just saying)
i’ve been blazing all year and they ain’t listen right, they was acting like my album was the kryptonite
this time last year, man, i was sitting tight and ever since february even this is light
i really think that ‘puppet’ was the point i switched the sides
drifting down the left path until i switched it right
letting go of all the other rapper’s strings and ties
and in doing so i created a different type
now you gotta step back when i grip the mic
lift to heights so high they gotta squint they eyes
i’m in the sky and when you’re thinking “this is bright”
i switch the lights, who gave ‘em all a kiss good night? (mwah)
chorus:
when i came out, i was living in their shadows
(living in their shadows all the time, though, ay)
then i stepped out and now i’m spitting to the shadows
(waking up early just to write now, ay)
even though my work is still sitting in the shadows
(they don’t even see it half the time now, ay)
these corners are mine, don’t come creeping in my shadows
(don’t let me catch you in my zone now, ay)

verse 2:
“acts like he’s on top, i wonder, is he hot?”
bro, i barely get a hundred streams, guess i’m really not
but i know one day i’m gonna make the whole city stop
when i drop i’ll be on every block like i’m the milly rock
i did a lot of work, even managed to get a viddy shot
sitting in the dark even though i got the silly bops
the silhouette you got look like you bought it from the vinnies shop
if you ain’t rocking with the little rhythm, why’d you hit me? (ah)
oh, you just wanna critique
you confidently hide behind that wonderful screen
you wanna believe i’m bad and that i gotta delete
but hop on a beat, couldn’t walk a mile in my feet
i run it with ease, you haters only running from me
i can see the trackpants hiding under your jeans
i’m pouring the tea, sitting back watching you flee
it’s funny to me, grab a fork and bon appetit
i don’t understand you bro, why can’t you just scroll?
if it was bad, you’d think you’d just continue on but you don’t
gotta leave your two cents, gotta comment the post
to tell me how you know so much about the culture i stole
how i’m only in this game to get the money, but yo
it’s the producers and the engineers that profit the most
and that’s fine with me, i’m happy, that’s the role that i chose
ever since wombat stew, i’ve been the star of the show, but yo
chorus:
when i came out, i was living in their shadows
(living in their shadows all the time, though, ay)
then i stepped out and now i’m spitting to the shadows
(waking up early just to write now, ay)
even though my work is still sitting in the shadows
(they don’t even see it half the time now, ay)
these corners are mine, don’t come creeping in my shadows
(don’t let me catch you in my zone now, ay)

verse 3:
act like an ace and i’ll alienate ya
boys say you’re brave and they bang but berate ya
creating ‘cause i’m a courageous curator
i drop in the dark, y’all are dancing with danger
concealing my lyrics, can’t see in the distance
no boundaries, no limits, the void is infinite
they’re never gon’ see it and catch all the meaning
why am i still tryna get them believing?
believe in yourself, how you made it this far
they all had friends to help make them a star
it’s amazing the wave that you’ve made in this car
just the page and your brain, made for this art
gotta train and be smart, though the wavelength you’re on
is insane, don’t contain it in, take it beyond
though the shadows are hiding the trail that you’ve marked
don’t re~tread the same steps when you’re making the songs
the formula’s working for you, but your point of return is spoiled
creativity needs sp~ce to be born and the verse is boiling
but the words are for nerd’s enjoyment
put your heart in it, when it’s dawn and you search the forest
for a thought of a verse or chorus, just rehe~rs~ it more
you got time to make it work, but force it
then this four minute he~rs~ is for you and that’s curtains on you
we aren’t the same though
they see me coming and they gotta reach for the arrows
they all wanna see me be deceased in the gallows
but they’re owned by a rapper, call ‘em yeezy apparel
we’ve hit a plateau
‘bout to graduate and take a break, khalid in el paso
just remember i’m a beast on the track though
and i’m ‘bout to craft another, so i’m leaving, retreat to the shadows
chorus:
when i came out, i was living in their shadows
(living in their shadows all the time, though, ay)
then i stepped out and now i’m spitting to the shadows
(waking up early just to write now, ay)
even though my work is still sitting in the shadows
(they don’t even see it half the time now, ay)
these corners are mine, don’t come creeping in my shadows
(don’t let me catch you in my zone now, ay)
