A-Plus - Battle of the Shadow lyrics

[Hook: Del and A-Plus] They slippin' dippin' in and out of the shadows (in and out of the shadows) By nightfall all this gets swallowed (all this gets swallowed) The Me and Ple is down to do battle Cause when the sun shines they gots to follow (they gots to follow) [Verse 1: A-Plus] A knows much about the undeceivable shadow The enemies laughing at you while you acting like an a**hole Extreme darkness makes my people seem heartless They got me more frustrated then a fiend spark less You see the enemy is a scheme artist Right now they be the smartest Cause your only concern is if you seem the hardest But you seem retarded, the black man is in panic You got people saying that God, but acting Satanic I know god knows You think you are because you got hoes Your brainwashed watching to many talk shows I bet you got flows But it results in evil When the only way to be equal or come up is insulting people The shadow got us realding we think we building To busy talking sh**, or f**ing hoes to raise our children You'll be amazed when the curtain raises (yeah) It'll make you give praises, or say this “who gone save us?” I'll remain patient, meditating while they got you waiting Go to a camp of concentration, I ain't faking Man we like the brand new Jews But the new Hitler's too big for you to get in your view For twenty two years, I done battled with the shadow When my people act so shady, but I'll still got you back bro ____because you black bro And if you ever let that go I'mma see at the rouge upon the plateau [Hook] [Verse 2: Del] I waltzing down the block wit my n***a A-Plus You know what's up, soaking up rays and vapors All the sudden it seems like the beams was shrouded by a eclipse But this happens frequent, some n***as was rolling secretive They wanted to beat the living sh** out of us If we wasn't talking bout giving it up Like applause down to the drawls They said they'd sit by the shadow we better not tattle ____? the sky got brighter My eye got tighter me and Ple started talking bout Why we got bitters, fronters, and other antagonist And whenever we speak they treat us like we were evangelist No, we're merely an*lysts, observing whats occurring like Who's doing the serving, keeping our people from flourishing We mourn about nourishing, who's deserving teaching courage Cause the earth's being engulfed and what they teaching is murders Homicide ___ on HBO's the ratio Its so unbalanced And we know this was established back in the I always learned to beware of sinners And those that praise pestilence Even if it's your next of kin Like lot of Americans that hate Mexicans Or the girl who got raped, so she don't want to have s** again [Hook]
