ShaoDow - Fire In The Booth

[@ShaoDowMusic]

Dark Lyrics There's a fire in my heart, It's in my soul, And I got a choice let it go out or let it grow, Let it take control holding my mind without parole, Let the flame engulf every aspect of my whole being, Till you're feeling the heat, Seeing metal and steel peeling, degrees increasing with speed reaching a peak, steaming, I've been feeding the beast even though it's burning me, What you know about a dream that you need, But still it hurts you see, It's Shao .. who? You couldn't hear me if you were Horton, But I paid my dues so I never moved like Randy Orton, Law and Business graduated so then music is my third degree, Sold 20,000 albums on my own before you heard of me, These nerds will see me only if there's views on screen that's cursory, My passion nurtures me, But still an anchor like Ron Burgundy, I've got a manga, headphone brand and store without a bursary, If I planet (plan it), then I murk it breeder, You can call me Mercury, The nerve of me, Thinking I could do it with no label, No middle man to come and eat the food up off my table, It's Mr DIY so if they can't believe I'm able, I will rap until I'm horse and only rest when I'm in stable, So I'm grateful, To every single fan of mine that's into me, Without you, there's no way that I'd survive within this industry, These quote unquote professionals still treat me like a mystery, Blocking and avoiding without checking out my history, I hate these tastemakers, I'm reaching for the listerene, Your greed for power is what kills the art within this scene, Turning grime to pop now grime is popping you 'wan be in it seen? Listen for a minute please, I love music, I just want to be expressive, But if you're black and passionate then that is called aggressive, Even worse if you're intelligent, question if you're authentic, If your actions are not matching exactly with what's expected, Fam, I wanna be a legend, Expand till the whole world gets it, And Romanian (roam mainly) outta England bredder you can call that Brexit, No way for great ascension if you're standard with progression, Success is in my essence my desire and my weapon, So I'm telling, If you wanna live off music full time, Without being a puppet hidden within, a, lie, You need a brain, A tolerance for pain, The will to make the gains when they knock you down again and again, You need to understand your audience, Think of them when you're recording it, A master of your craft without a doubt the most importantest, It doesn't happen overnight, You gotta fight, Give every single drop of time, And sacrifice, And don't apologise art if it's honest, If you build it slow it can't broken fast that's a promise, It's never plain (plane), you gotta train, But I wouldn't have it any other way, Now lemme play, Cos my 16's are jailbait, My 24's are cuter, My 32's are MILFS and my 64's are Cougars, I love this thing to death so there's nothing you can do ta, Break, my direction or connection let's call it router, Ain't, no exception or protection for when I skewer, Taking their heads away their from necks like Henry Tudor, Execution's super, I chase the dream like Kruger, You dudes are music polluting get moved with pooper scooper, Because you sounded like Drake, you thinking now you Future, Originality's lacking I'll give you something newer, A whole new world I'm Aladdin (a lad in) the running for the ruler, So if you're shunning I'm hunting you down without computer, Keep believing that you safe, But really it's too late, You see you next Tuesday, I'll see you in two days, Ain't gonna stay in the shadows all my life, But it's ShaoDow fam say my damn name right

[@richardevans8908]

Pretty sure I've seen this guy in my home town handing out his mixtape 😂😂

[@ShaoDowMusic]

Depends where your home town is

[@richardevans8908]

[@richardevans8908]

aK nothing just feels strange

[@JoshTLG]

[@ezatron9766]

Shaodow - there is no stopping you!! KEEP it going man

[@Donelofficial]

Mad how I gave him a rap battle in town yesterday and told me he was on this last night 😅 shaodow you're sick my g

[@ShaoDowMusic]

[@ShaoDowMusic]

Tom Thorogood massive respect Tom. Thank you

[@Swift_Adz]

My man shaodow at it again. Sick asf as usual. 4 phase here: 1) stoked. 2) jaw wide open. 3) spine tingling. 4) gas mark 10. Keep it real bro and keep up the good work. I remember meeting you in Norwich many many years ago with mad dreams now you're on radio 1... again! Peace bro.

[@rk6380]

Hands down one of the best I have seen on here

[@ShaoDowMusic]

Very honoured

[@rk6380]

So original so keep it up, look forward to hearing more

[@StephenWindmill]

Hands down my favourite fitb in long man, something different, proper lyricism ain't afraid to spit about other shit apart from gangs and guns

[@ewganhoff]

Wow... Just wow. Thanks for this, man. Utter fire. I feel exactly the same about rap. It's about good writing, flow, savage technical rhyme schemes, and content. There are too many dudes spitting basic, slow rhymes about bullshit. Thanks for carrying the torch for real hiphop. I'm away to see what channel you put your tunes on and subscribe immediately. Then listen to everything I can find. Major respect from Aberdeen

[@ibra05326]

THIS GUY GOES IN. I do think that Mic Righteous, Lowkey, Akala, and English Frank are unrivalled but it is nice to hear different artist doing the damn ting!

[@doctorjason5719]
