Umbra

Bob Ross:
There, this is just dark color so we can put a little lighter color on top of it later
It'll stand out. Absolutely have to have dark in order to have light
Have to have dark
Got to have opposites: dark and light, light and dark, continually in painting. You have light on light, you have nothing. You have dark on dark, you basically have nothing
There we are. It's like in life: gotta have a little sadness once in a while so you know when the good times come
I'm waiting on the good times now

Chorus (FADE):
...the party's still live
Tell me, who's watching the time?...
...no light in my mind
Feeling the darkest of nights...

...so, if these lines be
Colder than the tundra
...go ahead and
Blame it on the umbra

//// Blame it, blame it on the umbra ////

V1 (Ish):
They throw shade like a blade, imprisoned in the dark
Whole family mad at me, schism in my heart
But if we only cousins after Grandma passes
Then ain't shit changin' 'cept Grandmas taxes

They judge you by the "draws", now I'm on they asses
Rappers graveyard, Westport full of caskets
Blame it on tha masses, hunnid how I keep it
Wanna call me a villain? Well, fuck it, I'll be it

V2 (DAX):
Call it like you see it, man, I say just what I mean
2 Corinthians 2:11, 'cause the devil got his schemes
People throwing shade, and it gets darker on scene - I'm
Feeling like Pablo, ultra feenin' for the beam

(Sometimes) I roll like a chicken, they got me rotisserie, but they
Can't mess with the preacher when the light is what I see
(There's) only one 800 like the number on your screen, with the
72nd reverend; yeah, the Future be the team

V3 (Ish/DAX):
Mo' white, tearin' up my
Soul, like, you sho' right
No light, and it's a
Cold night, I'm such a low life

V4 (DAX/Ish):
Molded by their shadow, call it "Bane of existence"
They can't hold me back, I'm a still go the distance
(But for David) just what he needed, was pleading for some resilience
Tip toein' the line between insanity and brilliance

V5 (Ish/DAX):
Thin line, love and hate, tell 'em how it goes
Angels turn into snakes, friends are turning into foes
It's too dark, feelin' like I can't be seen
Where to start? *Wonderin' what it all might mean

V6 (DAX/Ish):
Vindicated, stayin' faded, never made it, still they hated
Always hated, tell 'em David, underrated, emulated

V7 (Ish/DAX):
Icy accusations got my heart like the tundra
I ain't speaking right? Go and blame it on the "um," brah

Chorus (FADE)

V8 (Ish):
Listen, hear nothin' but tha whole of tha truth
Ether on the mic, spilled my soul in this booth
Never knowin the muse or my role in this ruse
Sometimes feel like I see my goal through the noose

Why should I be livin' if I ain't livin' my dreams
30, still holdin' hope given to teens
My system it screams for infinite means
To break out these chains and sit with these kings

Sometimes it's irrelevant how much that you crave it
Will I ever see the day I can really say we made it?

V9 (DAX):
20 years of age, and I've never left the shade pit
Life is just a game, but ain't ever 'bout to rage quit

Nothing but sadness, they give me bad news
Chris said I'm stressed, and I might need the juice
Am I doing numbers, should I have more views? or
Should I just smoke up and let myself loose

Oh! ...better plan in mind just for the losses
Remember what you've forgotten, achievements and all, you got it, I'm
Too clutch like Siamese vehicles, PDR
Seasonal, letting my speakers go off

V10 (Ish/DAX):
Devil at the door, think I might be goin' undaa~
I'm so numb now...
...go ahead and
Blame it on the umbra
