Battle of the Shadow

Lyrics

They slippin' dippin' in and out of the shadows (in and out of the shadows)
 By nightfall all this gets swallowed (all this gets swallowed)
 The Me and Ple is down to do battle
 Cause when the sun shines they gots to follow (they gots to follow)
 A knows much about the undeceivable shadow
 The enemies laughing at you while you acting like an asshole
 Extreme darkness makes my people seem heartless
 They got me more frustrated then a fiend spark less
 You see the enemy is a scheme artist
 Right now they be the smartest
 Cause your only concern is if you seem the hardest
 But you seem retarded, the black man is in panic
 You got people saying that God, but acting Satanic
 I know god knows
 You think you are because you got hoes
 Your brainwashed watching to many talk shows
 I bet you got flows
 But it results in evil
 When the only way to be equal or come up is insulting people
 The shadow got us realding we think we building
 To busy talking shit, or fucking hoes to raise our children
 You'll be amazed when the curtain raises (yeah)
 It'll make you give praises, or say this "who gone save us?"
 I'll remain patient, meditating while they got you waiting
 Go to a camp of concentration, I ain't faking
 Man we like the brand new Jews
 But the new Hitler's too big for you to get in your view
 For twenty two years, I done battled with the shadow
 When my people act so shady, but I'll still got you back bro
 ____because you black bro
 And if you ever let that go
 I'mma see at the rouge upon the plateau
 I waltzing down the block wit my nigga A-Plus
 You know what's up, soaking up rays and vapors
 All the sudden it seems like the beams was shrouded by a eclipse
 But this happens frequent, some niggas was rolling secretive
 They wanted to beat the living shit out of us
 If we wasn't talking bout giving it up
 Like applause down to the drawls
 They said they'd sit by the shadow we better not tattle
 ____? the sky got brighter
 My eye got tighter me and Ple started talking bout
 Why we got bitters, fronters, and other antagonist
 And whenever we speak they treat us like we were evangelist
 No, we're merely analysts, observing whats occurring like
 Who's doing the serving, keeping our people from flourishing
 We mourn about nourishing, who's deserving teaching courage
 Cause the earth's being engulfed and what they teaching is murders
 Homicide ___ on HBO's the ratio
 Its so unbalanced
 And we know this was established back in the
 I always learned to beware of sinners
 And those that praise pestilence
 Even if it's your next of kin
 Like lot of Americans that hate Mexicans
 Or the girl who got raped, so she don't want to have sex again
