Lost in the Shade
Navigating Life's Maze: Shane Eagle and Kota the Friend's Journey Through Shadows
Lyrics
Uh what's the reason
Expressing curiosity or confusion about a situation or circumstance.
What's the reason
Repeating the question, emphasizing the desire for an explanation or justification.
I'm living I keep my mind on the mission
Focusing on personal goals and staying dedicated to a purpose.
I got a kid that I'm missing a whole lot
Acknowledging the absence of a child and the emotional impact it has.
Figured that they could put me inside of a closed box
Contemplating confinement or limitations imposed by others.
A nine to five is never the timing I chose not to listen to those lies
Rejecting conventional work hours, choosing independence over conformity.
I'm a free black man hommie catch me if you can
Asserting freedom and evading attempts to control or label.
Tryna slide me with a label I be slipping out they hands
Resisting being pigeonholed by record labels, maintaining independence.
Got a girl in Colorado when she always making plans
Having a relationship in Colorado, dealing with the challenges of distance.
Got me kicking it in Aspan making whitey mad sick
Creating discomfort for those who hold prejudiced views.
Rubber neck and fucking up the traffic
Causing disruption and challenging societal norms.
Never seen a black kid care free and free at all
Defying stereotypes about carefree black individuals.
Watch me as I'm skeeing off catch me at the lil' league
Portraying carefree behavior, especially in a sports setting.
Lil Kota teeing off iconic
Highlighting the distinctive style and impact of Lil Kota.
I'll be happy taking a train ain't it ironic
Finding joy in simple things, even mundane activities.
Used to be a slave and now I got the world in my pocket
Emphasizing personal growth from a challenging past to success.
So fuck a small phone lights off and watch the stars glow
Rejecting societal norms, seeking solace in the natural world.
I cannot fall yeah
Declaring resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Yeah yeah
Expressing individuality and a desire for independence.
Yeah yeah aye
-Don't follow me don't follow me
-I got these dreams of my own
Affirming personal aspirations and the pursuit of unique dreams.
Hoping I can make it out and hoping the story get told
Hoping to overcome challenges and have one's story recognized.
I don't even know which way to go
Feeling uncertain about the direction to take in life.
Or how the past present or the future unfolds
Reflecting on the challenges of understanding past, present, and future.
But life's moving too quick I think I need a backspace
Desiring a pause or reset in life due to its fast pace.
Can't help the fact that I feel like this is a rat race
Feeling pressured and comparing life to a competitive race.
Cause everybody's chasing cheese
Criticizing societal values, emphasizing the importance of pursuing dreams.
And not enough is chasing dreams
-For me that's the most important thing I need in this life
Declaring a personal mission to prioritize family and shed light on important issues.
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
Setting financial goals for family members.
You know the devil comes to steal and to rob
Warning against negative influences and intentions.
Two twos and four fours I blast these niggas like hoes
Using force against adversaries who act deceitfully.
Hope you ready for that karma when it knocks on your door
Anticipating karmic consequences for negative actions.
Cause that shit is a fucking bitch that's why I keep my shit clean
Describing karma as challenging but emphasizing personal cleanliness.
Only time my palm's itching when it itch for the cream
Expressing a focus on financial gain and ambition.
If you can dream wide awake then you can die in your sleep
Encouraging the pursuit of dreams even in waking life.
But my chakra's all aligned I meditate and repeat yeah
Highlighting spiritual alignment and meditation for clarity.
I find some peace in my mind
Finding tranquility and mental peace.
I know that heaven is not a place it's just matter of time
Viewing heaven as a matter of time, not a physical place.
So demons will pass don't get lost in the shade
Advising against succumbing to negativity or deception.
Heroes will come around your neighbourhood and won't wear capes uh
Recognizing everyday heroes who may not wear traditional capes.
Know the devil comes in all form and shapes
Warning about the diverse and unexpected forms of negativity.
So wipe your eyes feel no pain
Encouraging resilience and emotional strength.
There's gon be a brighter day aye
Anticipating a better future and brighter days ahead.
Don't get lost in the shade
Reiterating the warning against getting lost in negativity or deception.
Don't get lost in the shade
