about

On the outro for the 'Shadow of Death EP,' Black Smith poses several questions to himself, and enlists fellow Publish or Perish member Kreative Tendencies to help him search for the solutions.

lyrics

[Verse 1 - Black Smith]
Am I livin' my life right now...or just existin'?
Can I somehow break through the mold and shape my own position?
Am I the one to bring success to all my brother's doorsteps?
Or am I the one to take the fall if grace should go on recess?
Why must I find contentment within my own regression?
Why can I not convince myself to climb out of depression?
If mind is over matter, why's gravity keep buggin' me?
And if all I need is love, why's self-hatred undermanning me?
What is the reason behind my lack of patience?
Will social stigmas gun me down if I were to go on rages?
Is paranoia the source of my mind's everyday riotings?
Or can meds reprimand my underhanded anxieties?
Can I find a trace of solace amidst a place of madness?
Can I find out a way to keep my id from wreaking havoc?
Just how'd I get persuaded to play this game of chances
When fate saw fit to curse my feet to take two lefts at dances?
These are the questions that crowd my mind's ramblings
They run and dash throughout my head, no care for what they're trampling
But one day, i'mma put an end to my internal gambling
And until it's time, I'll make it work, until I find the answers

[Hook - Black Smith]
Until it's time, let me issue this statement:
Turned my back on all my doubts; yeah, I'm destined for greatness
In a race against time, but I know I'm gon' make it
With every 16 bars extending my 15 of famous

[Verse 2 - Kreative Tendencies]
Cold summers, hot winters. backward thinking
Am I speakin' my mind, or spring creaming?
Really living, or lucid dreaming?
Fuck it! I can't think
Grab the drink, grab the keys
I'mma ride till I fix it
Get in the car, hit the goose
Start it up, hit the goose
Press the gas as you hit the goose
Drown the thoughts, switch lanes
See lights, speed up
Ha! We aint' goin' to jail tonight!
Go fast, a sharp turn, spin out
Cops screamin', "Get on the ground!"
Fuck that! You'll never take me alive!
Get hit three times, fall down
Last breath, see a white light
"Congratulations, you have now...

[Verse 3 - Black Smith]
...died dreaming"
I wake up, finally free of all my own mind's streaming
And quickly put on paper what my own psyche's feeling
But I can't mistake this state: that's my own spine tingling
I made it to the other side, and now my stomach's fiending
I've never felt this way, like my own soul's gleaming
Survived the darkest days, came back kicking and screaming
Now it's time to let the world know exactly what I'm thinking

[Hook - Black Smith]

[Outro - Black Smith]
Until it's time, let me issue this statement:
Turned my back on all my doubts; yeah, I'm destined for greatness
In a race against time, but I know I'm gon' make it
With every 16 bars extending my 15 of famous
Until it's time, let me issue this statement:
Turned my back on all my doubts; yeah, I'm destined for greatness
In a race against time, but I know I'm gon' make it
With every 16 bars extending my 15 of famous
