Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shadow you're drawn
Why don't you go
In the corner babe watching the snow
Moving afar
Moving away
In the corner believe
Why won't you stay
Won't you stay babe
Won't you stay babe
[Verse 2]
Oh I never know what come around
I never looked ahead
I'm wrecking rules and it's pulling us down
The words I wished I'd said
Shadow you've drawn and you got your ways
Shadow you've painted red red
[Verse 3]
Moving afar
Moving away
In the corner believe
Why won't you stay
Won't you stay babe
Won't you stay babe
[Verse 4]
It's drawn
It's drawn
It's drawn
It's drawn
It's drawn
It's drawn
It's drawn
It's drawn
It's drawn
It's drawn
[Verse 5]
One two, yo, I'm with the paper plate hold
Too many dreams a paperweight took a toll
Food on the floor not on the wasted or knew or what's being pasted
And know that it's not a copy
I own a prize instead of gas prices
Lyrically wonder why I travel past the nicest
Born of a generation that don't generate patience
I travel too fast for you to clock me
Not always a good thing
You can lose the love of your life to a lifetime of love on tour
I didn't mean to be a whore but my hormones
Had me like a fiend screaming what you got for me
Two words, I'm mortal
But the fans lift 'em together and remove the apostrophe
Hip hop lords maybe but my ways need laundering time's a ticking
Stop squandering
