longest shadow

Intro

Uh

Yeah

The longest shadows

Check it

Verse 1

Sun goes down on the Brooklyn side

Concrete canyons swallow up the sky

I been walking these blocks since I was knee-high

Every corner got a story told in a sigh

Cold wind cut through the avenue

Shadows stretch long before the night is through

Mama said stay close when the streetlights bloom

I learned to read the dark in a cold dark room

Pre-Chorus

And the pavement hums like a bassline low

Every step I take got nowhere to go

But I keep moving through the amber glow

Chasing what the daylight'll never show

Chorus

The longest shadows reach for me

They pull and they pull but I won't flee

The longest shadows know my name

I walk through the dark and I stay the same

Post-Chorus

Yeah

Stay the same

Stay the same

Verse 2

Pockets empty but the heart stay full

Learned to build a fortress out of stone and wool

Friends turned strangers when the money got cool

I keep my circle tight like a river through a pool

Grit in my teeth when the winter bites

I seen my brothers fall and fade from the lights

The ones who stayed through the longest nights

They the only ones who know the scars I hide

Pre-Chorus

And the pavement hums like a bassline low

Every step I take got nowhere to go

But I keep moving through the amber glow

Chasing what the daylight'll never show

Chorus

The longest shadows reach for me

They pull and they pull but I won't flee

The longest shadows know my name

I walk through the dark and I stay the same

Post-Chorus

Yeah

Stay the same

Stay the same

Bridge

I ain't looking back at what I left behind

Every scar I carry got a story in the lines

The shadows stretch but they can't take my mind

I'm the light they're chasing when they lose their spine

Breakdown

Stand tall

Stand strong

When the world goes wrong

Stand tall

Stand strong

Chorus

The longest shadows reach for me

They pull and they pull but I won't flee

The longest shadows know my name

I walk through the dark and I stay the same

Post-Chorus

Yeah

Stay the same

Stay the same

Outro

Longest shadows

Yeah

Longest shadows

I stay the same

Uh
