Shelem - Red Skies (feat. Kat) Lyrics

These days I don't do much talking
I just let some words out
Deep conversation, things I never heard bout
What I need, every day I contemplate existence
I don't play the game I just peep it from a distance
Sick to my stomach seeing how they try do my race
Nigger on the net, tell em say it to my face
We can knuckle up, same way imma do my case
Ali Bomaye, what you trying to do I say
Hands in the air, on the ground, don't you move
I say
Be yourself, color in the lines, don't resist
I say
Fight the power, you a coward, stand up for your right
I say
Payments to the king the only time I'm having it my way

Crazy, that's what they call it
Who the f*ck is they, they can all kick rocks
And lately, you've been so damn bossy
Stirring all this trouble up cause there ain't no equality
Red skies coming in this morning
Please take this warning
Don't go outside my daring
Cause there's a war coming & you don't want no part of it

These days I don't do much of anything
Caged bird with a microphone so just lemme sing
Left the girl that loves me while my homie bought a wedding ring
Things are complicated but that's how it goes for any king
I just know I'm running out of time getting to my dreams
Wasted moments scrolling through debates & stupid memes
Still chugging but I feel like I been losing steam
If I had one I would say I'm on the losing team
Been doing pretty well look at what I did alone
Made some money off the music I made in my home
I just wanna own it all, Doug Dimmadome
If your dinner gone, you can come & get a loan

Crazy, that's what they call it
Who the f*ck is they, they can all kick rocks
And lately, you've been so damn bossy
Stirring all this trouble up cause there ain't no equality
Red skies coming in this morning
Please take this warning
Don't go outside my darling
Cause there's a war coming & you don't want no part of it

These days been the best & the worst
I been blessed with a curse
Cause I'm numb to the love but obsessed with the thirst
Hungry to perform but neglect to rehearse
Cleaning up what shouldn't be a mess in the first place
On a Thursday, feeling like The Weeknd
All my bad habits bout to drive me off the deep end
Beat anxiety but sometimes I feel it creeping
Thoughts I play off play back while I'm sleeping
Keep it real, you ain't 'bout the life, scared to die
I say
Good with words, manipulate the truth, never lie
I say
Love your neighbor, motherf*ck a hater, hope you thrive
I say
Realest one alive
I say
Look me in the eyes

Crazy, that's what they call it
Who the f*ck is they, they can all kick rocks
And lately, you've been so damn bossy
Stirring all this trouble up cause there ain't no equality
Red skies coming in this morning
Please take this warning
Don't go outside my darling
Cause there's a war coming & you don't want no part of it
