Shinobi Lyrics

Mama

You were 38 years when I came

Six years later, daddy left and it was lame

But you never said a word always keeping to your faith

Late nights, you would kneel and you would pray and ask the Lord for strength

To teach your son how to slay and be a King and pull strings like a violinist

Ironically I'm in this music with these fire writtens

You told Me; "Keep your hands lit so they see you make waves." I'm like: MY GOODNESS

You taught me how to endure pain for sure gain

I'll make it to heaven from all my hells in God's name

Of course, everything I went through was for your sake

Twelve years out in the wild, 12 years a slave

I never got how living without you would make me

Till I became a man and say how you were tryna shape me

But I've been too hard on you

Mama I'm sorry that I've been too far from you, tryna be a star for you

And tryna be a star, that scene is fucking gory

But me I have a plan, be real and tell you stories

Despite what they may think I didn't come for the money

I just came to touch their souls and the sky that's right above it

Uh

I didn't come for the money

I just came to touch their souls and the sky that's right above it uh

I didn't come for the money

I just came to touch their souls and the sky that's right above it uh

Love is weird that part you never taught me

You ain't gotta talk, fact is, your ex dey bore me

Women are unpredictable, but I'm still surprised at how

I've been a nice guy but Dorcas Quaye would never want me

That shit ain't easy

She said she loved me that one time and I believed it

And Esther told me the same thing and I believed it

Michelle told me that I'm hers and I believed it

FUCK YOU AWO

My behavior is unbecoming

I'm such a nervous wreck

Scary how I sit there and I'm contemplating nervous threats

Like suicide, fuck it I'll do and die

Then my other side steps in asking who the fuck am I

I'm dark and twisted but God saved me through Jay Foli

These inner thoughts they are my demons and they know me

Your life is easy mine is still crazy,

You ain't even gotta ask me why gee, I'm still brazy

I'm on a mission to find peace

If you're out there thinking I am an emo then bite me

I talk about my problems just so I can ease the pain

You know what I've been through you won't treat me the same

Yeah

But I'm still making progressions

You made me understand that every testing is a lesson

Emotions wanna shit on me, I'm fighting just to dead 'em

Cuz an emo dude is always admired, never respected

I'm steady tryna chase a dream you told me wasn't worth it

Just to show you it is possible. Reach, you're gonna get it

Rich beyond credit, fine from coarse texture

I've been a diamond how I'm fiending for more pressure

Don't cry mama this is the life I chose myself

Just pray along the way that I don't lose myself

I write this song for the people that hurt but don't complain

Just so they don't go out and blow they heads like Cobain

My roof into pouring rain

There's always so much love through our hate, that's kinda strange

You know I'm not to blame, I kinda feel it will fade

You knew me before the fame don't lose me if I should change

Yeah

You knew me before the fame don't lose me if I should change

You knew me before the fame don't lose me if I should change

I'm on a mission, I only need your submission

I'm tryna use intuition to forcing them into wishing they had me as competition

More than what you can measure,

I'm marking my spot right here, applying pressure

Mama see, you for pray

Pray for better days

So God go bless your only boy with a better way

Mama see, you for pray

Pray for better days

So God go bless your only boy with a better way

I love you
