Shallow Lyrics

Okay

Jazzy feel

MirKat

Shallow

I miss feelin' independent

Feelin' like I made it

With five dollars in my pocket

Motherfucker, I'm a rocket

Blast off, blast off

That's the sound the bullets make

When they put it to your face

Motherfucker, how it taste

And now my baby's in the kitchen cookin' pancakes

But she don't know that today's gonna be my last day

But okay, okay, okay

That's the way I was raised, was raised, was raised

Can't be shallow

Young black man

How do you feel

How do you plan

To stay alive

While your brother's in the kitchen poppin' them xans

Tryna be a better man than you and I will ever earn or learn to be

Lord knows he be on his knees every day to feed his family

(I know, I know) A nigga gotta find a better way

(I know, I know) But first I gotta get my head on straight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Music bumpin', jumpin' as I play my Cole

To blind me from the fact that my body is fueled with fear

Look out the window, see the cops with all their sticks and poles

Then realize that there cannot be a way back home from here

One bullet in my car and soon I will be contemplatin'

On how the fuck I made it in this fucked up situation

As time pass they finally see me calm down

I hit the gas and then I start to frown

Oh no, MirKat, hit the road and don't come back

Niggas lookin' real salty, they might catch a heart attack

All these hoes, all for show, they don't know, how to act

They will never shake your hand, but they quick to shake some ass

Now run, before, all the haters start to come

Please don't grab, your guns, we don't want any problems,

You know it, ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none

Now please don't dial no 9-1-1 because the story is not done

And I miss feelin' independent

Feelin' like I made it

With five dollars in my pocket

Motherfucker, I'm a rocket

Blast off, blast off

That's the sound the bullets make

When they put it to your face

Motherfucker, how it taste

And now my baby's in the kitchen cookin' pancakes

But she don't know that today's gonna be my last day

But okay, okay, okay

That's the way I was raised, was raised, was raised

Can't be shallow
