Текст песни Boxing My Shadow - K'naan
It's
like
writing
to
the
dead,
dear
people,
I
don't
know
if
you'll
hear
my
last
plea
But
somebody
needs
to
be
a
little
concerned
about
me
It's
like
I'm
standing
on
the
edge
of
a
high
tower
balcony
Ya'll
are
rootin
me
to
jump,
nobody
stoppin'
me
It's
like
a
drug
filled
rock
'n'
roll
documentary
Just
wait
till
the
world
knows
what's
inside
of
me
'Cause
you
ll
be
sorry
when
I'm
gone,
and
I'll
be
gone
so
very
soon
If
the
pressure
on
my
diaphragm
keeps
resisting
If
the
feds
keep
my
brothers
stompin'
up
and
down
prisons
If
you
can't
understand
my
offerings
and
deep
mission
No
label
is
willing
to
see
my
unique
vision
If
metro
housing
keep
threatning
my
poor
mother
with
eviction
You'll
be
sorry,
(you'll
be
sorry)
You'll
be
sorry
if
I
stay
so
poor
I
can't
afford
my
own
medicine
to
cure
my
ulcer
And
get
vexed
at
every
rich
person
that
walks
passed,
that
won't
blast,
just
yet
I
don't
even
have
enough
gas
to
pass
the
exit
So
don't
laugh,
(don't
laugh)
I
think
a
smile
is
a
charity
But
fuck
don't
laught
my
anger
(Resulted)
from
pressure,
(exhaustion)
My
boys
be
(orphans),
my
voices,
(is
all
bent)
I'm
tired
(I'm
coughing)
my
daddies,
(divorcin')
My
momma
(is
hopin'),
my
eyes
be
(so
open)
For
chances,
(I'm
walkin')
I'm
walkin'
and
talkin'
and
boxing
my
shadow
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
It's
like
the
possibility
of
making
it
in
the
industry
Is
just
around
the
corner
now
It's
just
about
your
ability,
but
see
it's
like
an
enigma
An
insomniac
singer,
a
dream
a
figment
of
your
imagination
it
seems
It'll
never
be
succesful
Please
protect
your
neck
before
they
squeeze
I'm
your
biggest
hater
you
suck
And
even
if
you
don't
you
know
your
luck
You'll
probably
get
runover
by
a
truck
Before
your
first
label
meeting
Meeting
is
the
issue
you
prick
Yo
yo
you
really
make
me
sick,
no
no
you
make
me
sick
I
can't
stand
this
argument
See
this
is
what
happens
when
my
mind
starts
to
dwell
And
my
strenght
starts
to
fail
And
I
get
an
anxiety
(Resulted)
in
panic
attacks
(exhaustion)
I
might
as
well
look
for
(a
fence),
my
health
is
(dissolving)
I
am
tired
(I'm
coughing)
My
wife
is
(divorcing),
my
girlfriend,
(is
open)
'Cause
I
gotta
so
(open)
over
these
niggas
(Walkin)
I'm
walkin
and
talking
And
boxing
my
shadows
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
And
now
I
sing
about
the
poor,
and
I
sing
about
the
war
And
how
can
I
not
represent,
when
I'm
the
most
critically
acclaimed
Put
most
emcees
to
a
lyrical
shame
Get
some
um
fame
Express
my
pain
and
still
keep
this
shit
raw
How
can
one
person
be
so
poor
Look
at
it,
your
better
off,
(without
me)
I
mean
even
I
(doubt
me)
My
own
dreams,
(mock
me)
The
snicker
and
talk,
(about
me)
They
want
me
to
suffer
(rob
me),
take
my
life
around
me,
(rob
me)
They
got
me
boxing
my
own
shadow!
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!,
I
hate
this
I
hate
food,
I
won't
eat
In
case
you,
Offend
me
I
wait
you,
so
don't
sleep
I
hate
you!
I
hate
food
In
case
you
I
wait
you
I
hate
you!
I
hate
food
In
case
you
I
wait
you
