Shadows
War-head Lyrics

Looking back at the frenzy
Reflecting on the past chaos and events

Listen dawg, when you up broke niggas gonna envy
When you become successful, people who used to be your friends will become envious

Far from great, but me? I pull all the weight
I may not be the best, but I take on all the responsibility

And my brothers got the muscle to let all it spray
My brothers have the strength to use lethal force

Shards of nights I remember when we went down and faced
Memories of dangerous situations

About 45 to life and still beat the case
We were able to avoid a long prison sentence despite the odds

Dawg, broad day got the police chase
We were chased by the police in broad daylight

This that GTM shit, what me & Mars create
This is the type of music that my friends and I make

Serve these bars up on a heated plate
I am delivering my lyrics with intensity and passion

Large estates and broads who got bought cars to race
We have luxurious homes and women with expensive cars

The mission isn't over but we got time to waste
We have not yet accomplished our goals, but we have leisure time

Slaughter you niggas posse it's a massive disgrace
We will defeat our enemies and it will be humiliating for them

He told Franklin he wanted to be famous
He shared his desire to become famous with Franklin

And beat the life that was made for them
He wants to succeed despite his background and circumstances

He don't get how lost the game could get
He is not fully aware of the dangers and consequences of the lifestyle

Or how hard the game make you repent
The lifestyle can be so grueling that someone may feel the need to repent

He remembers the dial
He recalls the phone call that changed everything

The call that was made when they brother went to down
The phone call informing them of their brother's arrest and incarceration

Filled his life up with shame from that moment til now
His brother has been carrying the shame of his actions since his arrest

Everyday drinking booze n fucking hoes on the couch
Passing the time with alcohol and women

Shadow of nights damn this shit funny
Nostalgic and amusing memories

I'm practically doing whatever to make money
I am willing to do whatever it takes to make a living

Me? Down on my last dollar, shit crummy
I am struggling financially and the situation is dire

The fiends on the block, dead walkers call em mummies
Drug addicts on the street who are barely functional

Everything's a game here I'll show you
The lifestyle is a game and I am adept at playing it

Nobody from here in the game really is noble
There are no honorable people in this lifestyle

Family turned enemies, no one's loyal
Even family members can become enemies and loyalty is rare

We reach for the stars but end in the soil
We aspire to great things but end up with nothing

For the bread all rise
People are willing to do anything for money

Oh you niggas not spraying the lead you all die
If our enemies do not use lethal force, they will lose the battle
