Shadows Lyrics
She said
Love me better, kiss me back, listen more
Yeah, no no no
Face down in the brown grass
Shame shame on my brown ass
Birds in the trees as we run through
And if I'm dead to the world, what you gon' do?
What you gon' do? Like, "I can't remember"
Shots fired, rewind, please, girl, be mine
Email denied, talk to me baby
Before I go crazy, might do it maybe
We were so Jay Z and Beyonce, my aunt say "keep the sex game picante"
The Aunt May and Mary Jane that I was hitting on
To make me try and forget that there was something wrong
Love is Russian roulette, I had the safety on
We popped pills at the Coachella
Hold my head in the weeds, man I can't tell her
The fear that I feel man it might kill her
Man, it might kill her, it's the prep school mic killa'
With the drums and the groove so it feel Dilla
I don't care what he say
I'ma get my platinum back like I'm a half ton gorilla
You can hang with homie on the low
But your boy so weak like a week ago
But we ain't speaking though
Tuesday afternoon, I ain't got shit to do
But fall in love with you (she said, she said, she said)
Love me better, kiss me back, Listen more (she said, she said, she said)
Love me better, kiss me back, listen
The attitude
And I hope you understand
We were never friends
And I hope you understand now
But I miss them
And I hope you understand
I hope you understand
Cause everywhere I go
Everything I see
I just hope you understand
Love me better, kiss me back, listen more
Yeah, no no no
Shame shame on my brown ass
Birds in the trees as we run through
And if I'm dead to the world, what you gon' do?
What you gon' do? Like, "I can't remember"
Shots fired, rewind, please, girl, be mine
Email denied, talk to me baby
Before I go crazy, might do it maybe
We were so Jay Z and Beyonce, my aunt say "keep the sex game picante"
The Aunt May and Mary Jane that I was hitting on
To make me try and forget that there was something wrong
Love is Russian roulette, I had the safety on
We popped pills at the Coachella
Hold my head in the weeds, man I can't tell her
The fear that I feel man it might kill her
Man, it might kill her, it's the prep school mic killa'
With the drums and the groove so it feel Dilla
I don't care what he say
I'ma get my platinum back like I'm a half ton gorilla
You can hang with homie on the low
But your boy so weak like a week ago
But we ain't speaking though
But fall in love with you (she said, she said, she said)
Love me better, kiss me back, Listen more (she said, she said, she said)
Love me better, kiss me back, listen
And I hope you understand
We were never friends
And I hope you understand now
But I miss them
And I hope you understand
Cause everywhere I go
Everything I see
I just hope you understand

Thoughts: It's called shadows because the song is about the past. The young man in the song is dead. He is telling the story of how and why he ended his life. How he failed his relationship with the girl he was afraid to love fully and how he lost her. The song show he mentally unravels and commits suicide to win her back. (Or perhaps he kills them both).
