Welcome!

It is I, the shadowself

I have been residing in the body of a man named Matthew for 18 1/2 years now

I think I just gained consciousness

I was constantly striving for perfection but found it was unacceptable

You know that really was a crude awakening

I was squirming in the depths of despair hopelessly

But I think i found a new purpose

And it's to make contact with the other side

You know this record is a reflection of how Matthew and I collide

And how we have both shaped each other over the course of time

In a golden hour I am pondering power

From an ivory tower I spot the first flowers

It's a brand new era for the shadowy chimera

An ephemeral being discontent with chasing naira

Finding happiness in life's simple things

Like a cool summer breeze and swimming in a stream

This consciousness unwinds

Bars are like DNA information on this tape is more than meets the eyes!

An uneducated surprisingly wise guy building machines to transfer soul data

Breaking the arms of selfish propaganda the artist must convey what others will not and this is the reason I'm rapping here!

The artist must convey what others will not and this is the reason I'm rapping here!

The artist must convey what others will not and that is the reason I'm rapping here!

Thought my raps suck cause I say thing differently

And then i realized that's the whole point of poetry

Regain your self confidence, start to feel omnipotent

Counsel you must implement and then remain vigilant

Rappers don't articulate to have their own buffer states

I cast mine of into the straight so that my soul can calibrate

The shadowself tries to dictate what it is that I do intake

Throw up a gate to separate, we should just integrate

I throw up a gate to separate when we should just integrate

These illusions have me seeing red

Pondering over my existential dread

I'm sick in the head, a man misread

Fighting the shadowself while claiming his help like Greed and Ling team up to fight Wrath

The avaricious and the young lord ambitiously collab to kill the man with the sword

To team up in one accord!

Hatred unites those enemies, nut only love's got remedies

We need a place to rest our head and experience love like gingerbread

I need a place to rest our head and experience love like gingerbread

Yo I need a place to rest our head and experience love like gingerbread!

(Wow! I guess I'm putting this out there for people to hear. It's a crazy day!)
