shdw (usa) - after dark lyrics

hook:
it’s a cold world it get real chilly after dark
guns out bums out pillows in the park
women looking for some love from some n-ggas with no heart
pigs loading up some slugs got some children as their mark

verse 1:
my city play us for fools
know they don’t mind
that we’re dying
dodging these bullets
they’re flying
faces of families when crying
became so normal
ain’t battle yet
still had war wounds
our natures not to be primal
forced to adapt for survival
guess desperation is viral
seen homies turn into rivals
mother turned to a bible
i grew close to the bottle
drown in sorrow
tomorrow
i’ll find some joy i can borrow
break it and serve the dish
like i’m christ with the bread and fish
be remiss if you didn’t follow

post-hook:
you were taught to be grateful for everything you had
with what’s happening round the world
have no right to be sad
who give a d-mn bout your loneliness and fear
with all these blessings in your lap
it’s just your prayers that he hears

verse 2:
and that’s the head depression rears
to me
tread those waters carefully
carry guilt cause my brain
ain’t as bright as my smile
appears to be
see the people who cheer for me
waving
wanna hear from me
patient
it’s been years for me
latest nights ended tearfully
youngest aunt mourning wearily
son by marriage got murdered
her son by blood getting eerily
close to the penitentiary
i just wish that he’d listen me
listen
what’s the use of a prison?
exploiting labor
the mayor
lined her pockets
good riddance
45 out on a mission
see division
no matter the cost
the next won’t be different
all my faith in that sh-t
is lost
let’s dismantle the system
only to way true freedom
of thought
this ain’t just a dream that i bought
i mean it
