Lyrics Shadowlands - Soul Plug Anonymous

And if you have a story about the shadowlands
Let us see you hands, let us see your hands
If you felt the rawest feelings that a human can
Yo it's time to dance, yea it's time to dance
And If you caught a song in the shadow lands
Let us hear it man, let us hear it

I teach men it's OK to cry
Practice by chopping onions
Yo there's layers to this life
No Walla Walla, just blueprints- Shawn Carter
Paper routes, to bank accounts, make your paper counts, As our age amounts
If we don't learn to swim what happens?
How many captains have you seen drown
In pint glass of their hometown?
And that's life, some say, with a weight on their face
I asked men what type of stories do you want on your page?
You could take that two ways
Imagine what this could be bodies don't fully breathe till they grieve
Before you dream put fear in your pipe and bite down and inhale
Spark a match from depth of your hell
Light it up and wrestle with the monsters and tales
About about grails and golden trails
And how glory feels, ya feel?
Do ya feel?

And if you have a story about the shadowlands
Let us see you hands, let us see your hands
If you felt the rawest feelings that a human can
Yo it's time to dance, yea it's time to dance
And If you caught a song in the shadow lands
Let us hear it man, let us hear it

Shadows spreading like webs do
Do heavy words make the mind bend?
Perception the deadliest weapon
When aimed at yourself
Meditation, mental health food
For some of us it ain't free to breath
In my dreams, my ancestors speak to me
Their wisdom helps to navigate the harsh of realities
It was just yesterday
I reflected on the threat today
Brutality, taking his breath away
But Privilege it pays for vacation
In a system allows for a get away
Too many of my brethren
Dying from lack of oxygen
But we ain't COVID positive
White silence kills just like officers
Black widows cry over coffins of lost one

American built on cotton, it's built on that cotton, yeah yeah
American riddled with problems, that nobody solving, Yuh yuh
We been overdue for change, y'all finally talking, yeah yeah
America, land of the free but you gotta take caution
