[Hook Helen Tess] Shadows Chasing shadows Or are they chasing me [Verse 1 Bernz] Been at this for a minute, resurrected more than once Late nights to early mornings, eyes burn from lack of slum Ber, I make em slur under a cloud of smoke and herb And social lubricants, used to then lubricate their [?] Sneak in some sleep when no ones looking Behind the stage while symbols crash, and random club Im booked in Im out performing for my kind, and they shoving and pushing Im out surfing over their minds and they providing cushion...Search I dont get mad if Im overlooked in their mags See, the races longer than all these bloggers halfassed paragraphs So will they last? I dont know The beast is so hungry, we all liable to go Since I was just a child, I would beg for this shit out loud And keep my guardian angels up, mental masturbating for hours Try to master as many styles as I can before my goodbyes At least thats what I say when I wonder if I wasted my life [Hook Helen Tess] x2 Shadows Chasing shadows Or are they chasing me [Bridge Bernz] If I turn the lights down, I can see you disappear But when they come back on Im positive you start to interfere And Im addicted to the flicker, the flash and the liquor But every time I light it up, the shadow gets thicker [Verse 2 Bernz] Despite our best attempts to rid ourselves of past mistakes I find me chasing shadows that Im scared to face So now my familys facing things that could leave some disgrace After a life of fairy tales, Im now lying awake Do you believe in American dreams, hittin this country to get a degree Workin few jobs just to make a tuition, then pick up another to buy food to eat Schooled in the ways of the capital taste, go get your money or get out the way Step over bodies as if its a hobby, until they decide that this boys out of place Then they take all your things Hope you got money [?] cause these boys hope that the people dont win They want us to all stay asleep on our feet so they keep trying to buy these new things I guess that they think that we dumb I guess that they think that we probably too busy, in love with the shadow we made under the sun [Hook Helen Tess] x4 Shadows Chasing shadows Or are they chasing me [Outro Helen Tess] Or are they chasing me x2
