[Hook:]

An alter ego of mines, the kind that slowly faded

But occasionly resurfaces, even though my name is recreated

It speaks about a certain past, and attached on me like Venom

The darker side of myself, it brought out my mental maelstrom

Tellin' me to give in to my strongest desires, just calll me eddie brock

I was motivated by sheer will, and truly became Shady Fox

[Verse 1:]

Each passin' day, I had more and more songs comin' up

Even though they weren't the brightest, some talked about what was corrupt

My main inspiration, was the movie straight outta compton

I took my notebook, open it, and started writin'

With no music at my disposal, I did some accapella

Ha, it was just bad, I was like"what the fuck is wrong with ya"

I still continued to write, even though I hated the mistakes

I was just playin' around, didn't really take control of my fate

As I start to look back, I can always see why

The very reason that drove me off the edge, and was ready to die

I had a dream about runin', tryin' to escape the police

But as usual I got stopped, and they handcuffed me

I was thrown to the ground, and just laughed

With all of the jumbled up noises, freedom was within my grasp

I got up and made a run for it, and didn't look back

I breathed with much force, nearly gettin' a heartattck

I closed my eyes, and I heard the shots of a gun

And from there, the dream was done

T-H-U-G, the hate u give

Gets the better of you, I'm tired of this shit

[Verse 2:]

Like Megan and Tina Snow

They are as one, and they know

With Neotyro and Shady Fox

They are one of the same, and yet i had to break from the box

It nearly sucked my soul, but someone suggested a change

And from that day, my true desires were unchained

The word Neo, means a new beginnin'

And the word tyro, means just startin'

I put those two words together, and I was reborn

With a whole new drive, I became in control of my storm

But still rememberin certain things, like people are tryin' to makes ends meet

Some of them are homeless, just hungry livin' out in the streets

I knew from there, that I didn't want that for my life

I had a vision, showin' me some kids and a beautiful wife

I didn't know what the hell to do

I just pondered how I was goin' to make it through

I had the mindset of a quitter, just gave up when I saw fit

I started to daydream, and imagined bein' rich
