Shadow Man

[00:00.35] How do you see me
[00:03.08] How do you love me
[00:05.71] How do you remember me
[00:11.78] I'm a rotten nightingale
[00:14.48] I hope the darkness keeps you well
[00:16.85] When I can't fall asleep at night
[00:19.44] I blindly taught myself to fight
[00:21.60] Oh shadow man, shadow box please keep your hands up
[00:25.05] And if you get knocked down don't forget to stand up
[00:30.52] Bless the nightingale (nightingale)
[00:35.70] Darkness keep you well
[00:40.75] Bless the nightingale (I'm praying keep you well)
[00:46.13] Darkness keeps you well
[00:50.53] Shadow man, shadow box dance in the dark with me
[00:52.95] There's resurrecting agony, these apathy for caskets
[00:55.59] Everything I ever loved I lost in the magic
[00:58.35] I claim by the river my body delivered
[01:00.69] When I die there's twenty seven rappers at my funeral
[01:03.25] Moses wrote my name in gold and Kanye did the eulogy
[01:05.95] Remember all the bashfulness understand the truancy
[01:08.70] Yeah I stand in front of a college drop out
[01:11.09] My music was a church when your spirit hopped out
[01:13.66] Met a gypsy in L.A. and she reading my palm tree
[01:16.05] Mysterious situation like kissing the concrete i.e getting money
[01:19.91] I've been close to heaven
[01:21.04] Baby claimed he loved me, hold me down forever
[01:24.06] I never should have bought this halo
[01:25.75] He waitin' for me at his table
[01:27.85] My funeral's a disney fable because a King is about to take me home
[01:31.91] Preach church tabernacle talahasse sunshine
[01:34.36] Southern is my bloodline, we know when it come time to go
[01:38.21] And though I leave like a alumni I'm lying like a lullaby
[01:40.69] I'm quiet like my tongue tied alone
[01:43.67] Bury me is satin, tell the pastors say the sad shit
[01:46.09] Same class with the whole first row
[01:48.47] And if ashes turn to ashes
[01:49.52] Then I'm back in my first form with a dust storm with a corner and coke
[01:53.83] Morbid or late, Lord give Lord take
[01:56.57] Viva la muerte, Mortal man
[01:59.16] Less love, more hate
[02:00.34] More like mortician, we meet our fate
[02:03.07] Funeral home lookin' like a home that I used to live in
[02:05.31] You wasn't supposed to go so soon I took it for granted
[02:07.76] Maybe we'll meet the next life, maybe another planet
[02:10.18] Open my soul but then it'll end with an open casket
[02:13.96] Uh Aye
[02:15.55] Tippy toe on a tight rope
[02:17.33] Leaning on green if it's gon' be a dice roll
[02:19.75] I'm fiendin' a feline who mindset Afeni, I got two packs for us
[02:23.31] Gold on my gum line got rich off my tongue
[02:25.79] Sticky dro in the tight roll, cleaning my grievances
[02:28.94] As a lil heathen I sat pledge allegiance out
[02:31.40] Never believed in y'all system I needed more
[02:33.84] And I done went Figaro with the finger roll
[02:36.49] Landed wrong split my head and start leaking songs
[02:38.12] And I'm worser than they worst, they make a nigga live forever
[02:40.56] Flock with them birds, my heart stay lighter than a feather
[02:43.26] It's gon be niggas boomin' at my funeral (boom-boom-boom-boom!)
[02:45.56] Tell em play Metro Boomin' at my funeral
[02:48.22] St. Louis taught me death could be your neighbor, stay away
[02:51.25] Don't take the family for granted, better days await
[02:55.03] Bless the nightingale
[03:00.33] Darkness keep you well
[03:05.44] Bless the nightingale
[03:10.41] Darkness keep you well
