So I'm walking down the street
and it's a slight breeze
so I look to the shadow on the side of me.
I check my hair and I'm good.
So I'm thinking my hair is ok and not messed up
but when my sister hands me the brush
I already know what's up!
And all this may seem irrelevant
but the truth is, people lie like shadows.
Or vice versa but so what
either way they both lie to us.
The thing that really gets to me is
when the liar is someone you're cool with.
I'm thinking everything all good with you
like you were telling the truth
but you lied to me like a shadow on the street would do!
My shadow showed me that my hair looks fine
and I'm alright but really it just lied.
But ya'll keep going with ya'll shadow of lies
I just know I won't lie to me
I'm 5'1 not 5'3
and I don't sing or rap I write poetry!
But that's just me
You're shadow of lies won't defeat me
I'll keep living with every bit of ease,
but lying is just so ugly!
I mean, you can put on an outfit and just be bad.
Still at the end of the day you gon be mad
cause lying ruined the outfit you had
I send a special thankyou to everyone who's lied to me
you protected me
and help me build my guard for the next liar I meet.
But karma..karma should be a liar's worst enemy
and you can take it from me
cause I've witnessed and experienced
so yeah I'm a little bit of a hypocrite
cause I tell white lies
but lets face it, the truth can be ugly too sometimes!
Karma goes around and comes around
and it hurts when it hits you
and at the end of the day you're going to wish you told the truth.
And I'm not specifically speaking to any of you
but here's what liars should do
step out the shadow of lies into the truth of light
and see where that takes you!
