Lyrics Lost in the Shade - Shane Eagle , Kota the Friend

What's the reason? What's the reason?
I'm living, I keep my mind on the mission
I got a kid that I'm missing a whole lot
Figured that they could put me inside of a closed box
A nine to five is never the timing,
I chose not to listen to those lies
I'm a fit black man, hommie catch me if you can
Trying to [?] with a label, I be slipping out they hands
Got a girl in Colorado when she always making plans
Got me kicking it in [?], making whitie mad sick
[?] fucking up the traffic
Never seen a black kid care free and free at all
Watch me as I [?] off, catch me at the lil' league
Lil' Kota teeing off, [?]
I'll be happy taking a train [?]
Used to be a slave and now I got the world in my pocket
So fuck a small phone, lights off and watch the stars glow
I cannot fall, yeah!

Don't follow me, don't follow me
I got these dreams of my own
Hoping I can make it out, and hoping the story get told
I don't even know which way to go
Or how the past, present or the future unfolds
But life's moving too quick, I think I need a backspace
Can't help the fact that I feel like this is a rat race
'Cause everybody's chasing cheese
And not enough is chasing dreams
For me that's the most important thing I need in this life
That's the reason I am here and I am shedding this light
Get your mama that house and get your sister outside of that job
You know the devil comes to steal and to rob
Two twos and four fours, I blast these niggas like hoes
Hope you ready for that karma when it knocks on your door
'Cause that shit is a fucking bitch, that's why I keep my shit clean
Only time my palm's itching when it itching for the cream
If you can dream wide awake then you can die in your sleep
But my chakra's all aligned, I meditate and repeat
I find some peace in my mind
I know that heaven is not a place, it's just matter of time
So [?] will pass, don't get lost in the shade
Heroes will come around your neighbourhood and won't wear capes
Know the devil comes in all form or shapes
So [?] is gone be here by the day
Don't get lost in the shade, don't get lost in the shade
