INTRO (low, distant, restrained) They look at me and think they understand. That’s the advantage. This is Shadow. ⸻ VERSE 1 (Rap – calm, confident) I don’t show my hand, I let ‘em guess Let ‘em think I’m less than what I am I learned early power stays safest When it’s underestimated by demand I don’t speak on what I can do I don’t list the weight I’ve been through I don’t need the room on alert I let silence do the dirty work They confuse restraint with smallness They mistake patience for softness They think calm is absence of fire They don’t feel the heat ‘cause I keep it wired I’ve built strength behind closed doors Where no one clapped, no one saw That’s the kind of power that lasts The kind Shadow doesn’t broadcast ⸻ PRE-CHORUS (tight, low) I don’t announce growth I don’t chase respect I let time expose What they didn’t expect ⸻ CHORUS (Metal – heavy, controlled) 🔥 I GOT POWER I DON’T SHOW 🔥 I don’t flex it for control 🔥 I KEEP IT LOCKED BELOW 🔥 Where discipline grows From the calm in my voice to the steel in my stance I don’t prove—I advance 🔥 POWER I DON’T SHOW 🔥 That’s the quiet strength of Shadow’s hand ⸻ VERSE 2 (Rap – sharper, darker) I’ve been tested more than they know Pushed in ways I don’t expose I learned real quick not every win Needs an audience or a spin I don’t talk numbers, I don’t talk plans I don’t warn people where I stand By the time they feel what I built The moment’s passed, the shift is real I let them underestimate me It keeps things clean, it keeps me free Overconfidence kills progress Silence keeps my edge protected They brag about potential online I turn consistency into spine I don’t need to be feared today I just need to be ready someday ⸻ BREAKDOWN (Metal – slow, crushing) HIDDEN—STRENGTH LOCKED—INSIDE BUILT—QUIET NO—PRIDE WHEN—IT—SHOWS IT—ENDS—THE—GAME POWER—SAVED NOT—EXPLAINED ⸻ BUILD-UP (spoken, calm but ominous) Power doesn’t need an audience. It needs discipline. I don’t hide because I’m afraid. I hide because I’m not finished. That’s Shadow. ⸻ FINAL CHORUS (full force, layered vocals) 🔥 I GOT POWER I DON’T SHOW 🔥 And that’s why it grows 🔥 WHEN I MOVE — IT’S OVER 🔥 No warning exposed From the grind to the calm to the weight I command I don’t speak—I expand 🔥 POWER I DON’T SHOW 🔥 That’s the danger of Shadow unseen ⸻ OUTRO (quiet, resolved) They’ll notice one day. They always do. The moment they realize what I’ve been holding back… Is the moment it’s too late. That’s Shadow.
