The Dayton Family - Shadows Lyrics

(feat. Kalonda & Ryan)

[gong sound, people talkin in the background]

[Shoestring]
[talkin:]
I'm ready to tell you my secret now
I see dead people, but they don't know that they're dead
And sometimes, when it get real cold, that means they're mad
[rappin:]
Can't goto sleep I hear a beat it sounded just like feet
Jump off my seat see they hit my window cause I gots the beat
I seen a shadow pullin cattle from a early battle
I seen this snake up in my shoe and all I heard was rattle [rattle sound]
Picked up the phone and it exploded like a f*cking bomb
I'm seeing shadows biting me like they was Jeffery Dahm
So many clicks, so many crews, trying to blow my fuse
So many shadows in my yard that I feel abused (gong sound)
I'm hearing voices in my head and I can see a tread
I'm seeing scores, a pitbull and he's smellin dead
Slipped on my slippers, the ones with the chromed zippers
Knocked out a shadow in my room, all these Jack the Rippers
I fight with tigers, the shadows say they're Michale Myers
Just like Jack Nickleson played the Wolf I hear my neighbors driers
All this pain in my brain make me go insane
I'm hearing chains, and tracks, and running trains [train runnin, gong sound]
Alot of these soldiers in my kitchen with they bloody blades
No hands, no knives, Just bodies and their hand grenades
I started ducking, them soldiers started bustin at me
Flashbacks when I was 2 father hollered at me
Hearin whistles the click from pistols got me live annoyed
Past beef won't let me rest I live like sleepy Froyd
All these songs in my head and can't nobody tattle
Last night I killed 2 more, here comes another shadow [echos, gong sound]

[Bootleg]
[talking:]
We all walkin in the valley of the shadow of death
So concentrate on your family, friends and loved ones
Because you never know when there's a shadow

[Chorus]
[Kalonda,Ryan]
Shadooooow, every time I turn around there's a shadooooow
Though I walk through the valley of a shadooooow (gong sound)
Life's too short to take for granted fearing shadooooow
I can't take this pain I'm feeling from these...

[Bootleg]
Woke up hopped out the bed this morning, felt somebody watching
Opened my door no one was there I swear I hear'em knocking
Cockin my pistol cuz' I'm paranoid and ?in a zone?
Somebody said whip me, but I know I'm home alone [gong sound]
Jumped in the shower, trin' to wash away this eary feeling
Walked out my bathroom seeing shadows dancing on the ceiling
Put on my clothes, and smoked a cigeratte, and brushed my grill
My pitbull Puppy barking at so what I know ain't real [dogs barking]
Turned on my T.V. watching CNN, I heard a BOOM [explosion]
2 shadows having sex, I hear'em f*cking in my room
Exit my residence the only face's a gust of wind [wind whistling]
Too hard for wind, a shadow's what it must have been
Ain't no such things ?as ghosts?, I'm tripping dawg and I know it
Walked towards my car, the horn went off, a shadow had to blow it [car horns]
I need a drink to think and sort out all these weird events
I killed a man, my lifes been haunted ever since
I can't believe the shit I'm seeing turning up my bottle
I keep my eyes and I'll rip you, I swear I'm being followed
Can't goto sleep at night unless I take a sleeping pill
Reflections in the mirror, f*cking with my head for real [gong sound]
I never thought there was nothing wrong with how I think
Until my momma told me: Leg, go see a shrink
All these songs in my head and can't nobody tattle
Last night I killed 2 more, here comes another shadow

[Chorus]

[Bootleg]
[talking:]
I thank God every mourning when I wake up
Cuz you never know when you're gonna walk out your front door
and get murdered in your driveway
So I'll be tellin you this: keep your mind on your family, friends, and foes
Cuz most niggas is hoes (gong sound)
and they shoot you cuz you bawlin more than they is
So stay out them ?whole? in the warclubs
Nigga show love to your family and friends
And get your ass.....f*ck'em

[Ryan]
shadooooow
