Prompt / Lyrics
INTRO (low, restrained, heartbeat under distortion) They think anger is loud. They think rage is chaos. Mine is quiet. Measured. That’s Shadow. ⸻ VERSE 1 (Rap – calm, menacing) I don’t yell when I’m angry, I go silent That’s when thoughts get sharp and violent I learned early blowing up costs more So I lock it down, let it fuel the war I feel it in my chest when I’m disrespected Jaw tight, pulse steady, eyes disconnected I don’t swing first, I don’t bark loud I remember everything—I don’t black out I’ve walked away with my hands shaking Not ‘cause I’m weak—‘cause I’m calculating They think calm means nothing’s wrong They don’t know Shadow been holding this long ⸻ PRE-CHORUS (tight, restrained) I don’t vent I don’t spill I don’t waste what I feel Anger’s power if you understand How to hold it in a steady hand ⸻ CHORUS (Metal – heavy, controlled) 🔥 I KEEP MY ANGER ON A LEASH 🔥 I don’t let it run my name 🔥 I AIM IT — I RELEASE 🔥 Only when it serves the game From the fire in my blood to the grip of my hand I don’t snap—I command 🔥 ANGER ON A LEASH 🔥 That’s the discipline of Shadow, man ⸻ VERSE 2 (Rap – sharper, darker) I’ve been tempted to burn bridges down Say what I feel, let the rage resound But I’ve seen mouths cost futures And emotions turn into shooters So I breathe deep, count time Let the moment pass, sharpen my mind I store that heat, don’t waste the spark Save it for pressure, the gym, the dark They talk reckless, I take notes I don’t forget words—I archive quotes Every slight gets filed away Not for revenge—just leverage someday I don’t need to scare people to feel tall I let consistency handle that call If I ever explode, understand That Shadow exhausted every other plan ⸻ BREAKDOWN (Metal – slow, crushing) TEETH—CLENCHED FISTS—CLOSED FIRE—BURNING UNDER—CONTROL NOT—WEAK NOT—CALM DISCIPLINE—IS—THE—BOMB ⸻ BUILD-UP (spoken, cold) Anybody can lose control. That’s easy. Control is standing in the storm And deciding when lightning strikes. That’s Shadow. ⸻ FINAL CHORUS (full force, layered vocals) 🔥 I KEEP MY ANGER ON A LEASH 🔥 So it works for me 🔥 I DON’T BLEED IT — I REFINE IT 🔥 Turn it into energy From disrespect to restraint to the power I command I don’t crack—I expand 🔥 ANGER ON A LEASH 🔥 That’s the restraint that made Shadow dangerous ⸻ OUTRO (quiet, resolved) I still feel it. Every time. I just don’t let it drive. I let it sharpen. And if I ever let it off the leash… You’ll know why. That’s Shadow.
