A new inning
I'm through sinking
I swim through it

Since '95 pursuing it

I'm losing
But when the darkness moves in who's to win

I bruise lightly and move swiftly
If choosing sides I'd advise you to fucking move with me Blue Sky Black Death & Jean Grae – Shadows Forever

This is the last plan
Stuck in a tunnel like a CAT scan
And planted in city barren desert
It's a flat lands

Catch me up on stages, one fist raised Blue Sky Black Death & Jean Grae – Shadows Forever
