Chasing Shadows

Lyrics

"Chasing Shadows"

(Chorus – Sung)
I’m chasing shadows in the dark, yeah, I’m fighting through the pain
Looking for a light that’ll take away the rain
Got my hustle on lock, but my heart feels the strain
Success don’t mean a thing when you’re caught up in the game

(Verse 1 – Rapped)
Yeah, I was runnin’ for my life, felt the heat at my back
Had to dodge every hit, had to stay on track
Lost mama at eighteen, I was lost in the fight
Runnin’ from the darkness, searchin’ for some light

They said I couldn’t make it, tried to hold me down
But I broke every chain, left ‘em in the background
Still, the pain didn’t fade, I just buried it deep
Kept my eyes on the prize, even though I couldn’t sleep

I was chasin’ paper, tryna outrun the past
But the faster I went, the shadows still cast
I’m a king with a crown, but I’m missin’ my throne
Got a house full of friends, but I’m still all alone

(Chorus – Sung)
I’m chasing shadows in the dark, yeah, I’m fighting through the pain
Looking for a light that’ll take away the rain
Got my hustle on lock, but my heart feels the strain
Success don’t mean a thing when you’re caught up in the game

(Verse 2 – Rapped)
Yeah, I was runnin’ from the silence, runnin’ from the grief
Tried to find a way out, but the road was too steep
Climbed up the ladder, but the weight pulled me down
No matter how high, I was still on the ground

People said I changed, but they don’t know my scars
The cuts run deep, yeah, I’m fightin’ these wars
Runnin’ like a fugitive, no place to rest
Heart racin' like the game, always put to the test

Lost some friends to the struggle, lost myself in the chase
No matter how fast I ran, couldn’t fill the empty space
I’m chasin’ that peace, but it slips from my grip
Tryna find my way home, but the path’s been ripped

(Chorus – Sung)
I’m chasing shadows in the dark, yeah, I’m fighting through the pain
Looking for a light that’ll take away the rain
Got my hustle on lock, but my heart feels the strain
Success don’t mean a thing when you’re caught up in the game

(Bridge – Rapped)
Yeah, I’m searchin’ for somethin’, but I don’t know the name
Tryna find a spark, tryna ignite the flame
All the trophies on the shelf, they don’t tell my story
It’s the scars that I carry that show me the glory

So I keep on runnin’, but I’m runnin’ for peace
Tryna break these chains, tryna find my release
Runnin’ for my life, tryin’ to escape the night
But I won’t back down, I’ll keep up the fight

(Chorus – Sung)
I’m chasing shadows in the dark, yeah, I’m fighting through the pain
Looking for a light that’ll take away the rain
Got my hustle on lock, but my heart feels the strain
Success don’t mean a thing when you’re caught up in the game

(Outro – Rapped)
Yeah, I’m chasin’ shadows, but I won’t let ‘em win
Every day’s a battle, but I’m born to begin
I’ll find my way out, I’ll rise from the night
And when I see the sun, I’ll know I fought the fight

I was runnin’ for my life, but I’m runnin’ to live
Won’t stop ‘til I find the peace
