I'm not like Snoop, talking about the gambino
I'm Mr. Shadow, I got you wet El Nino, ike Nino Brown
But In my part of town, motherfuckas that be wondering
End up on the ground, from the roots of soul
I was born to be a foe, beware nothing
In this world could have scare me, stare me down
Like if you got pops, a barrage of gun shots putting and end to the cops
And now it's just me and you, and I'll be seeing you
At your gave for trying to act brave, you could of stayed
But the pigs couldn't wait, and those fools that betrayed
For your ass that never prayed, for cheers if you never shed a tear
Now you sleep with the maggots you motherfuckin' fagots
Your clan should have never ran cause I'm the man
Mr. Shadow gots you motherfuckers stranded in my land

[Chorus: x2]
What goes around comes around, the tables turns
It's the Shadow of your death come back I'm gonna burn
You slip away slow but I won't it go, what goes around comes around

I walk up in the cemetery and I was buried
But then I made out when you thought you laid me out
And now it's all about the pay back, think of way back
I'm your terror, your enemy forever, so let's call the priest
Ain't no peace til deceased, I be the first moth'fucker to release
My demon, I know I got you dreamin' and screamin', stirring up the news
Cause you heard I broke the rules, never leaving clues, I'm refusin' to lose
Every fool that I stake, be's believe I payed my dues, many clues that took
Live my life as a crook, take look where ya step or I might resurrect
And Huantcha, bitch motherfucker cause I wantcha
Teach y'all a lesson that your momma never taughtcha,
I shotcha, took ya for the life you were living, your enemy for life
And you still see me grinning

[Chorus]

I'll see you in the next life, I'll be waiting
If you think you've seen the last of me, you're mistaking
Now you don't have to ask, let me run you down the facts
They way you bust raps is the way up bust caps, fuck the snaps
I gave you all my testimony, you're a fraud you's a fake
And forever be a fony, now throw away your fantasy
That you were me, but never could it be, because I'm bigger then the sea
I saw ya coming, I was walking you were running,
And all of a sudden I was pointin' and blastin', at you
I was taking away every day that you lived, and I never forgive
Unforgiven, psycho way I was driven with the evils how I'm livin'
6 letters in my name, 6 thoughts up in my brain, 6 shots from my slug
Gotcha wakin' up in a frame, a memory of you but it's all because of me
Till you paid for your sins is the day I set you free

[Chorus]

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
