letra de shadow work - jon protege & pat jamlang

[chorus: jon protege]
everything that i’ve known
that i feel in my bones
from my head to my toes
maybe i’ve been here before
and my truth i’ve been known to change up
please forgive me
i can’t live running away from a lifetime of sins
and the shadow has been my best friend
i built a fortress around where i left it
along with my deepest fantasies
i was fine just how i was
this world better get its hands off me

[refrain: jon protege]
that’s dope but i got to do me
that’s dope but i got to do me
that’s dope but i’ve got to do me
that’s dope but i

[verse 1: jon protege]
fеlt a thirst for acceptance, reprеssed things
i projected onto this universe, might’ve been wrong but i meant it
everything i hate about you reflected inward
i was petrified to feel my rank in this world
rebel from unrequited love
with all of my failures amplified at once
those corners i made my favorite
my shame awakened
gave me a sense of which one of y’all faking
i’m so courageous interrupting sp-ces
and i’m unshaken by the envy behind praises
i heed the calling from my neglected parts
and i’m so honest that i’m so disarming
piercing through your façade
this light of mine i shine on my own darkness
empower you from off the grid where i found belonging
unworthiness in affection mirrored toward my audience
but letting it resonate now like none of them watching
i’m here for the revolution, needed one for my confidence
‘cause i can never wait on what anyone else is offering
don’t wanna be fatigued from all that self-judgment
wisdom from another’s eyes but could i truly see myself from it
and words that hurt ‘cause i’m afraid they’re true
people convince themselves they could if they wanted to
and dwell in an illusion ‘cause they’re a no-show
did you wall yourself in with every stone thrown?
you’d rather remain invincible in your own zone
than face the humiliation that’s why you won’t grow
have you ever woken up to a nightmare
seeing your biggest aims far away when they used to be right there?
[chorus: jon protege]
everything that i’ve known
that i feel in my bones
from my head to my toes
maybe i’ve been here before
and my truth i’ve been known to change up
please forgive me
i can’t live running away from a lifetime of sins
and the shadow has been my best friend
i built a fortress around where i left it
along with my deepest fantasies
i was fine how i was
this world better get its hands off me

[refrain: jon protege & pat jamlang]
that’s dope but i got to do me
that’s dope but i got to do me
that’s dope but i’ve got to do me
that’s dope but i’ve got to do me

[verse 2: pat jamlang]
i hate to do it again, one, two, straight to the chin
on another level within, no time to pretend
i provide that hypnotic intro, i’ve been known to build up to the cymbal
no instrumental i just form the symbols like a ritual
i find complexity in what is often seen as simple
i guess you’ll only understand the meaning once you’ve been you
sick with it, lyrics when intimate hits it right through
hidden not in sentences lies the truth you can’t undo
what has it come to when words don’t speak to you
too many artists if i’m honest aren’t insightful
speaking authenticity without vulnerability
like fighting for freedom of speech but lack sincerity, uh
because we fear to be the target of society
where people like to meddle in affairs they have no right to be
but nonetheless we take it all in, a source of entertainment
where attention is the currency we all spend
we keep on feeding this monster that’s deceiving us
we thought we had it figured out there’s no concealing this
though at times it feels so open, really we’re all just closed in
i’m torn when conveying words unspoken
it ain’t what you say but how you say it, the delivery, timing
most especially i’m just a regular guy
and so message is timeless only when we aligned
or the mind is open and pride-less so the question is why
why’s it got to be perfect when expressing what’s mine?
am i overthinking possibilities so these lines
are an extension of the kind of mental stressors
that define my inhibitions, but f-ck man i’ve got to do me
[chorus: jon protege]
everything that i’ve known
that i feel in my bones
from my head to my toes
maybe i’ve been here before
and my truth i’ve been known to change up
please forgive me
i can’t live running away from a lifetime of sins
and the shadow has been my best friend
i built a fortress around where i left it
along with my deepest fantasies
i was fine how i was
this world better get its hands off me
