Lost in the Shade - Shane Eagle, KOTA The Friend

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
