[Chorus: Rustage & JHBBOSS]
Yeah
In the shadows
Draw the blade, I'm
Fighting night and day (Ayy), but through this time know I'm a warrior (Ha, ha)
Yeah
In the shadows
Say my name, I'm
Light is far away, but bet you I'ma tell the story first
[Verse 1: Rustage]
Born from ash and now souls arise (Yeah)
Gave commands and they're told to die
Draw your sword 'cause I'm holdin' mine (Ha)
We gon' do this like olden times (Yeah)
Know the odds, but still roll the dice (Ayy)
Flow like elves 'cause I'm cold as ice
Blade gon' pierce 'em like golden eye (Yeah)
And you gon' see how thesе soldiers ride (Haha)
Distortin', I been courtin' (Ayy)
That Kim talkin' (Ayy) 'cause I bring thе iron
Sins talkin' (Ayy), that shit's borin' (Ayy)
No trigger warnin' (Ayy), just simple silence (Haha)
Big sword, I don't bring no items (Yeah)
This big body at the rim like Zion (Yeah)
Big mouths (Yeah), hear the big rounds (Ayy)
Cut a king down 'cause I swing on titans
Call the sergeant, reap what I sow, call that aura farmin', uh, uh
More alarmin', gap so big, can't draw the margins, uh, uh
Your department, use big words but talkin' jargon
They gon' bow to their lord and bargain (Yeah)
Who gon' care what a corpse is askin'? (Haha)
[Chorus: Rustage & JHBBOSS]
Yeah
In the shadows
Draw the blade, I'm
Fighting night and day (Ayy), but through this time know I'm a warrior (Ha, ha)
Yeah
In the shadows
Say my name, I'm
Light is far away, but bet you I'ma tell the story first
[Post-Chorus: JHBBOSS & Rustage]
Uh, I can't do the backin' down, I ain't done yet (Yeah)
I went through the ranks and never seen one threat (Ha)
Be my guest, way that I move with a lethal edge (Yeah), ayy, ayy
Seasoned vet, there ain't a dude I don't keep in check (Haha)
Oh, in my path or vision, then I leave them dead (Yeah)
OG told me get 'em, then it's off their heads (Yeah)
Ayy, easy test, they wanna fight, but ain't seen my best, ayy, ayy
In the shadows, that's where all the monarchs lefts (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Rustage]
They don't step in my castle (Nah), I gon' set an example (Ha)
Need no test or no sample (Yeah), you've been sent direct to the marshal (Ayy)
Ordered off their head, and they startled
Red to black, see the suit and marvel (Yeah)
Met your match, now your crew's in parcels (Ha)
Bet it's sad, but the news's impartial (Ha)
Call that dominator when I cut they paste
I ain't livin' with a rusty blade
Born a knight, but then upped the grade (Yeah)
Tried your best, but ain't nothin' changed (Nah)
Ha, armour's custom made (Yeah)
Sing your hymns, so go tusk and mage
They ain't loadin' like buffer states
Lost their edge, now it's judgement day, ha
No reception (Ha)
You gon' grind, but don't show progression (Nah)
So sublime, they gon' note my lessons (Yeah)
Views drop off, get low retention (Huh), what?
I don't know your reference (Nah)
Claim you're the best, but you don't get mentioned (Nah)
Makin' a mess of your own investments (Yeah)
Pay your respects, don't stow your weapons (Haha)
[Chorus: Rustage & JHBBOSS]
Yeah
In the shadows
Draw the blade, I'm
Fighting night and day (Ayy), but through this time know I'm a warrior (Ha, ha)
Yeah
In the shadows
Say my name, I'm
Light is far away, but bet you I'ma tell the story first
[Post-Chorus: JHBBOSS & Rustage]
Uh, I can't do the backin' down, I ain't done yet (Yeah)
I went through the ranks and never seen one threat (Ha)

Ayy, easy test, they wanna fight, but ain't seen my best, ayy, ayy
