Текст песни Shadow - SOJA feat. Trevor Young

I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
Cuz I'm not a shadow
When you look down, you won't see me
I stand up, and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone
I'm not a shadow
Cuz I'm not a shadow
Oh, no

Yo, here's to you, don't settle
And never separate
And never be quiet
Cuz the words you say
You never go back on
And never turn around
Never judge another cuz how stupid it sounds
Cuz when you see others, knowin' they're all brothers
Knowin' they're all sisters, seein' the big picture

If they're not wit' ya, then they're against
And we're here now when they are way back when
So, why try to please everyone
When it seems all the people really want
Is to show love out, and to get love back
Is to show some faith, and to get respect

Just look at the world and you look at the problems
And look at the hatred and we still can't solve it
So look inside and you'll find step one
Forget a diamond, I'm shining like the sun

Cuz I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
Cuz I'm not a shadow
When you look down, you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone
I'm not a shadow
Cuz I'm not a shadow
Oh, no

Here's to you, on your own
An innocent criminal, you never fit the mold
You never gon' sit down
You never gon' get approval, no matter how you prove
That love is the motive in everything you do
And revolution is you, and you're against the machine
You know who you are and you know what I mean
And when this records stops, you will never slow it down
When the video is over, you want your turn now

So, you make your truth and move it straight ahead
While the followers behind you get left for dead
And for the imminent brainwashing, follow the dumb rules
Created by individuals, who unlike you, don't care for the world
Or, care for the people
They love it their way and they love unequal
And they love when they feel above someone
I don't follow the leader, when they're all wrong

I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
Cuz I'm not a shadow
When you look down, you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone
I'm not a shadow
Cuz I'm not a shadow
Oh, no
