the crow pt. 1 (demo)

Singer:shahmen

maybe we should uh. what should we do?

the eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn from the crow

day is long

but the night is weak

found myself all alone in the zone while i write to beats

and let the black ink bleed against the whitest sheets

and let the story be told through the eyes of me

too tired to sleep

i set fire to the liar in me

crow on a wire couldn't find him a tree

only found was a pile of weed

just smiled and decided to eat

now i always keep a pile with me

still a child in the wild with beasts

who made a style from the nile of grief

freestyles through the miles of me

spin a spiral that be dialed to me

are you smiling

are you crying to sleep?

well me

i'm just trying to breathe

in a world where the foulest lead

keep stuffing in the mouth of greed

we cook old like it's alchemy

remain strong

'till the day that the faith is gone

that's the day i'ma face it all

i maybe wrong

but today i'm just pacing on

i'm gonna make me a name in a song

son of god

but the devil's just the same 'n all

'cept the difference in the ways we fought

read the book and then i made the call

i ain't really have to think at all

thoughts sank and i blazed it off

now i wait across

the river

knee-high

ready to fall

but my brother's there to push me along

i had a dream i never met him at all

woke up staring at the mirror on the wall

so clear what i saw

it wasn't a mirror

it was me all along

i shed a tear for the fear that was gone

instead i'm here and now you're hearing a song
