Shadow - MC Dark Princess

Verse 1

MC Dark Princess — I speak from the shadow side

The part of you that's been buried alive

I see what you carry when you think nobody knows

That thing you locked away — yeah everybody knows

(mmph)

You smile for the crowd and sometimes fake the light

I been living in your darkness — I know you at night

Every rage you swallowed whole, every truth you wouldn't say

I kept it warm down here — been waiting on this day

(aye)

Call me what you want — villain, darkness, the abyss

But I'm the part of you that you dismissed

Every version that you killed so you could fit the frame

MC Dark Princess — and I remember every name

(mmph)

Hook

I'm your shadow — that's your power

Been down here growing every single hour

You don't need to fear me — I'm already you

The darkest part of you is the most true

(the most true — mmph)

Face me once — you'll never be the same

Shadow work ain't punishment — it's claiming your name

MC Dark Princess speaking — this ain't a warning

This is your shadow calling — good morning

(aye — good morning)

Verse 2

Jung said integrate — I say welcome home

Everything you exiled — that's your cornerstone

The anger that you silenced got a message in it

The grief you locked away — there's treasure in it

(mmph)

You been performing wholeness like a second job

Meanwhile the realest you been living in the dark

Stop apologizing for the parts that cut too deep

The wolf you starved is the one that helps you sleep

(aye)

Flash and money, surface level, looking good online

But the shadow knows the difference every single time

You can run your whole life — trust me I have seen it

Or you face the dark and finally come clean with it

(mmph — yeah)

Bridge

This ain't about being broken

This ain't about the pain

MC Dark Princess showing you

The power in your veins

(in your veins — mmph)

Every part you hated

Every flaw you hid

Is the exact thing

That makes you who you is

(who you is — aye)

Verse 3

Dark Princess don't do comfort — I do clarity

You want the glow up? First you face the shadow in thee

The shadow isn't punishment — it's information

Every suppressed emotion is a revelation

(mmph)

So bring it to the light — not to destroy it

Bring it to the light — so you can employ it

The rage becomes protection, grief becomes compassion

The thing you thought would break you — that's your greatest weapon

(aye — greatest weapon)

I'm not your enemy — I'm your deepest self

The part of you that's been waiting on the shelf

MC Dark Princess out the shadows — standing in my power

Integration complete — this was always our hour

(mmph — our hour)

Hook

I'm your shadow — that's your power

Been down here growing every single hour

You don't need to fear me — I'm already you

The darkest part of you is the most true

(the most true — mmph)

Face me once — you'll never be the same

Shadow work ain't punishment — it's claiming your name

MC Dark Princess speaking — this ain't a warning

This is your shadow calling — good morning

(aye — good morning)

Outro

Welcome to the shadow

Welcome to yourself

Everything you buried

Was never someone else

(never someone else — mmph)

MC Dark Princess — lights out

But you finally see

The shadow was the doorway

And the key was always me

(always me — aye — always)
