Lyrics Lost in the Shade - Shane Eagle, KOTA The Friend

Lost in the Shade

Uh, What’s the reason?
What’s the reason?
I’m living, I keep my mind on the mission
I got a kid that I’m missing a whole lot
Figured that they could put me inside of a closed box
A nine to five is never the timing, I chose not, to listen to those lies
I’m a free black man, hommie catch me if you can
Tryna slide me with a label, I be slipping out they hands
Got a girl in Colorado, when she always making plans
Got me, kicking it in Aspan, making whitey mad sick
Rubber neck and fucking up the traffic
Never seen a black kid, care free and free at all
Watch me as I’m skeeing off, catch me at the lil' league
Lil' Kota teeing off, iconic
I’ll be happy taking a train, ain’t it ironic?
Used to be a slave and now I got the world in my pocket
So fuck a small phone, lights off and watch the stars glow
I cannot fall, yeah!
(Yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah, aye)
Don’t follow me, don’t follow me
I got these dreams of my own
Hoping I can make it out, and hoping the story get told
I don’t even know which way to go
Or how the, past, present or the future unfolds
But life’s moving too quick, I think I need a backspace
Can’t help the fact that I feel like this is a rat race
'Cause everybody’s chasing cheese
And not enough is chasing dreams
For me that’s the, most important thing I need in this life
That’s the reason I am here and I am shedding this light
Get your mama that house and get your sister outside of that job
You know the devil comes to steal and to rob
Two twos and four fours, I blast these niggas like hoes
Hope you ready for that karma when it knocks on your door
'Cause that shit is a fucking bitch, that’s why I keep my shit clean
Only time my palm’s itching when it itch for the cream
If you can dream wide awake then you can die in your sleep
But my chakra’s all aligned, I meditate and repeat, yeah
I find some peace in my mind
I know that heaven is not a place, it’s just matter of time
So, demons will pass, don’t get lost in the shade
Heroes will come around your neighbourhood and won’t wear capes, uh
Know the devil comes in all form and shapes
So wipe your eyes, feel no pain
There’s gon' be a brighter day, aye
Don’t get lost in the shade, don’t get lost in the shade
