carrio xanders - shadow of death lyrics

[intro: carrio xanders]
uh, yeah
they say everybody got a story to tell
and i got one as well
but listen, ey, yuh, uh

[verse 1: carrio xanders]
my foundation survived annihilation
we’re victims of circumstance, yeah, we’re the brown nation
celebrate your life if you’re 25 and older
destined for the skies, shine bright like supernovas
when being dead beats being in jail and your spirit’s frail
and against you the system tilts its scale
you pray harder than hannah when she was asking for samuel
prеpare yourself for the coming of immanuеl
i’m coming better, stronger, harder, louder, prouder
bound to try again, i ain’t no coward
freedom tastes better if you’ve been in the fire
and innocence tastes better if you’ve been a prior
last of a dying breed, my death will be a legacy
take me back to africa, bury me with my ancestors
after all, everything fades to black
we all return to humus and that’s a fact

[hook: carrio xanders]
i’ve been through the valley of the shadow of death
where darkness eats your soul and then leaves you depressed
came out unscarred, feel like i cheated the test
ain’t going back to the den where the homies connect
i’ve been through the valley of the shadow of death
where darkness eats your soul and then leaves you depressed
came out unscarred, feel like i cheated the test
ain’t going back to the den where the homies connect
[verse 2: mickey factz]
yeah, uh
it’s mickey
revolving door of destitution
each moment of freedom feels like retribution
four corners subduing moments of evolution
they say it’s reform, it’s a mental execution
trynna blend with society after losing my dignity
it’s misery, the cell never leaves, it’s bewitchery
liberty is a concept that i’m trying to conquer
considering in my dreams, i’m free, my mind’s altered
when i wake up, there’s bars between me and my leisure
i’m told how to behave, when to eat and speak up
granted, i may have done things out of procedure
but robbing me of privilege inherently makes me weaker
demeanour ice cold as the concrete in the winter
ironic that the sole of my hard feet getting thinner
cause my soul and my heartbeat aren’t even considered
so don’t be surprised if a part of me is a k!ller, factz

[hook: carrio xanders]
i’ve been through the valley of the shadow of death
where darkness eats your soul and then leaves you depressed
came out unscarred, feel like i cheated the test
ain’t going back to the den where the homies connect
i’ve been through the valley of the shadow of death
where darkness eats your soul and then leaves you depressed
came out unscarred, feel like i cheated the test
ain’t going back to the den where the homies connect
[verse 3: carrio xanders]
i walked the same path like my brothers did
i’m mobbing n+ggas, wreaking havoc like a prodigy
n0body warned us we’re going down the rabbit hole
nasty so, frankly though, you gotta be a cannibal
tick tock, flip flop, cl!ck cl!ck, big clock
now you’re serving big time like flava’s medallion
stuck in the box with mexicans and italians
starving like a homeless cat, skinnier than a scallion
the system victimised me, now i’m here victimising
it’s a ferris wheel spinning us all in a crisis
they pass me the ball, then i’m calling it cap
how you pass me a ball you never offered to kaep
proud of my resurrection, came out of adolescence
god heard the prayers i sent in, but he knew he had to check me
trying to save my soul, prison my therapy session
all the lessons i learnt, coming from convicted felons
