[Intro: Melodic rap with autotune]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Melly vibes, yeah, uh
Uh, uh, yeah
[Chorus: Melodic hook with repetition]
Shadows on my mind, yeah, shadows on my mind (on my mind)
Tryna find the light but the darkness stayin' blind (stayin' blind)
Shadows on my mind, yeah, shadows on my mind (on my mind)
Pain keep on creepin', can't leave it all behind (leave it behind)
[Verse 1: Introspective storytelling]
Came up from the trenches where the cold wind bite (bite)
Lost some real ones in the dead of night (night)
Heart heavy, scars deep, memories rewind (rewind)
Voices in my head sayin', "Boy, you gotta fight"
Lookin' in the mirror, see the pain and pride (pride)
Tryna keep it real but the tears I hide (hide)
Every step I take, feel the weight inside (inside)
Melly on the track, got my soul on the line
[Pre-Chorus: Melodic, emotional]
Yeah, I’m trapped inside this maze (inside this maze)
Lookin' for a way to break away (break away)
Demons in my mind, they wanna stay (wanna stay)
But I’m fightin' every night and day (night and day)
[Chorus: Melodic hook with emotional repetition]
Shadows on my mind, yeah, shadows on my mind (on my mind)
Tryna find the light but the darkness stayin' blind (stayin' blind)
Shadows on my mind, yeah, shadows on my mind (on my mind)
Pain keep on creepin', can't leave it all behind (leave it behind)
[Verse 2: Raw, personal, rhythmic flow]
Lost a couple brothers, feeling like I’m cursed (I’m cursed)
Prayin' for the peace but it never come first (never come)
Every night I fight these thoughts that burst (thoughts that burst)
Tryna keep my soul from getting worse (getting worse)
Life’s a cold game, but I’m still in play (still in play)
Prison bars inside my mind every day (every day)
Voices sayin' "Melly, you gon' find a way" (find a way)
But the pain’s so loud, can’t make it go away
[Bridge: Haunting melodic rap]
Uh, yeah, uh, uh
Feel the cold wind blowin', memories flowin'
Every street I roam, I hear the echoes callin'
Tryna rise above it, but the night keep fallin'
Shadows in my mind, yeah, the pain keep crawl-in'
[Chorus: Emotional hook with vocal layering]
Shadows on my mind, yeah, shadows on my mind (on my mind)
Tryna find the light but the darkness stayin' blind (stayin' blind)
Shadows on my mind, yeah, shadows on my mind (on my mind)
Pain keep on creepin', can't leave it all behind (leave it behind)
[Outro: Melodic fading vocal with autotune]
Shadows on my mind (on my mind)
Shadows on my mind (on my mind)
Tryna find the light, yeah, I’m still tryna find (still tryna find)
Shadows on my mind… yeah, yeah, yeah...
