lady scribe - trippin' over shadows lyrics

[2pac intro]

[verse:]

they say every saint has a past
but every sinner has a future
guess i marred to the night
the way these dreams this martin luther, like…
they get shot down soon as i speak ’em to existence
swear the life a n-gga lived just here to keep a kid from livin’
(and that’s real)
on how deep these feelings running
put that on every artist with feelings they fear to publish
all the
ground breaking n-ggas underground, harriet tubman
thinkin’ rap game pain only deep as seeing our
surface

[hook: lady scribe]

my whole life i searched
for a key to keep me free
they tellin’ me that it’s the truth
afraid to trust this game with me
feel like i’m
trippin’ over shadows the world can’t even see
and the more shine that i get
the bigger it get to…me..

(i feel i’m trippin’ on, shadows…)

[verse: lady scribe]

wonder if n-ggas ever felt that pain…
of the shade of your own shadow..
‘cuz that’s something that you can’t run from
you cry to compensate, too late
you harden your own heart
the only way to escape
like the only way to hide
is to reside in yo’ darkness
‘cuz bout now you feelin’ closest to yo’ closet
‘cuz your life is upside down
and you swear that you feel like dying but your
feelings run too deep
you love to write
but life ain’t rhymin’
storms is ragging in your life
but you’d feel crazy if you cried…
so you’ve grown cold as stone
by building levy’s ’round yo’ eyes
‘cuz from about 3-5 them shadows be by your side
but once that, midnight strike they get wide
and then try to hide
and now them shadows that you feared who
was just baggage
now consumes and becomes you
them bad habits
and every soul that claimed they cared ain’t there
to console you
so i write mine to life
and light to show you

see everybody wanna know what’s going on inside my brain
told ’em don’t open me to close me back the same
that’s only gone remind me of what i can never be
see my soul’s under construction
so please, don’t judge me for me
it’s like the ish i take the hardest
be the hardest things to say…
life’s quick to claim you nothin’
for somethin’ they just can’t see
like i got visions they can’t imagine
yet they sleepin’ on my dreams
to console, i convince myself i’m just too sane
the rest insane
and for the day i claim this game
just know i’m praying for my prey…
like my deameanor be gina when it come to taking pain
and that pain
of 17 and robbing heaven of a light
and now you forcing it into h-ll
because you won’t destroy a life
and you just…
praying to the lord your sacrifice will be suffice
prayed shadows disappear
now you’re just forced to face their height
and by night
you start to write
and you find right in wombs of wrong
but then you find it’s all fasade
you pray to god back for your song
you trippin’!
but you trip right back to yo’ poems
write your shadows into light
and pray through that a life is formed
so i dedicate this song to words every artist fears to paint, it’s
hard felling your future is printed on past pavements
just like when we’re dumb and black they tell us get an education
but as soon as you pursue they claim you switchin’ up yo races!
like our own people racist
so in this race of race we’re in
we will always be at the end
because we choose to complacent
so we, all have shadows and sometimes we are our own
but shadows won’t disappear
because they don’t appear on their own
and just because you have a shadow
don’t really mean it’s something wrong
and even though those shadows shade yo’ life
those shades breathe life back to the world
make you think!

maybe we’re just all living in relative terms, like…
everything is bad, at least til’ worse comes along, and..
everything is best, at least til’ better comes around, so i live
and for the moment so when it comes i write it…down..
