Young caterpillar
You have had your journey through the soil
But now its time you fly
But before you make your transition
Take it back to where it started
I know where there's shade there's light
And where there's pain there's life
I know where there's shade there's light
And where there's pain there's life
I know where there's shade there's light
And where there's pain there's life
I know where there's shade there's
I where there's pain there's life
Uh, che
I've been binging on Russ interviews
Just lived out my album, time to write my interlude
I wasted so much time doubting, thinking I'm lose
And now I'm throwing out my trainers cos I need some bigger shoes
So I can boss in these steps
I think that I'm the best
They didn't wanna invest and now I'm clearing all the debts
These are tears, blood and sweats
Think I care about who's next
I'm on the field, and I play me, I'm both sides and the ref
Who said that I can't flex, sorry
This is spiritual, I've been through physicals
And you don't wanna see this flesh body
Wake up and I stretch
Bout to count these reps
And even though I say I wake up, more time I aint even slept
They knew me for the bars, but I weren't at no radio sets
Bring them titans round me, you know I'm coming for their necks
Mirror mirror tell Shadey who's the best
I went through a transition, new level, now the old me is dead
Its like died and resurrected
Now I pull up in the vibe and they feel my presence
Take a walk through my life, learn a thousand lessons
So much trauma in my adolescence
Use to walk with my knife, that was my protection
I replaced that with the sword, that a sharper weapon
The eyes the window to the soul, you can see the depths
I'm a student to the game, thats what my pupil said
I still walk around the ends and they show respect
They cannot not forget
I gave my life to Jesus, so I'm never seeing death
I knew that I was different but I never knew the depths
Got the mind Martin Luther, but the heart like Malcom X
This that ish their seen
They didn't wanna believe
They compromise their souls, but I'm the realist I've ever been
The greatest leaders serve, but I be serving as I lead
This is God's plan, what will be will be
My councillor said I should love myself but I ain't mad myself
To be honest I'm proud of myself
I just wish my dad was as well
I'm a man of faith so I stay positive and handle myself
But I'll be lying God of sometimes I don't feel to strangle myself, but I breathe
I'm in my thoughts I probably go and tweet again
I've come along from that angry kid from Edenham
Keep your opinions, I was a fool to think I needed them
I hide plain sight, then disappear like it's just me again
Uh huh, I'm transitioning
I had to build my own box, I wasn't fitting in
Its not about how hard you push, its about positioning
God taught me that long time ago, I wasn't listening
I had to let go of the lies, I was ignorant
I started singing out my soul, they started gimmicking
Caterpillar in the mud, I started growing up
Flew up to heaven, now your all here to witness it
Change is painful
But nothing is as painful
Than being stuck somewhere you don't belong
I know where there's shade there's light
And where there's pain there's life
I know where there's shade there's light
Where there's pain there's life
I know where there's shade there's light
Where there's pain there's life
I know where there's shade there's light
I know where there's shade there's light
I know where there's shade there's light
Where there's pain there's life
I know where there's shade there's light
Where there's pain there's life
Yeah yeah
