Shadow

Man to man is so unjust
That you don't know who to trust
'Fraid of your shadow instead, you know
Yeah, take a friend
To really make a friend feel bad, you know

Nuh run down your shadow
Tell you say nuh run down your shadow
Tell you say nuh run down your shadow
Tell you say the woman like a shadow
Tell you say the man is like an arrow
Tell you say nuh run down your shadow
Why me a tell you to dread
Man to man is so unjust
That you don't know who to trust
'Fraid of your own shadow, you know

Tell you run down your shadow
Tell you say nuh run down your shadow
'Cause woman is like a shadow
And a man straighter than an arrow
A terrible sorrow
Nuh run down your shadow
'Cause if you run down your shadow
You can't catch it, yeah

Foolish man build his house upon the sand
And that's where the foolish game begun
Preventing black and black from shaking hand
Why? Your friend is your greatest enemy at times

So nuh run down your shadow
Tell you say nuh run down your shadow
'Cause the nearest thing to you is your shadow
But when your shadow running, you can't catch it
So nuh run down your shadow
Tell you say the woman like a shadow

And a man is like an arrow
Nuh run down your shadow
Tell you say nuh run down your shadow
'Cause if you run down your shadow
You can't catch it
