I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
Cause I'm not a shadow
When you look down you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
This dude don't settle and never separate
And never be quiet cause the words you say
You never go back on and never turn around
Never judge another cause how stupid it sounds
Cause when you see others knowing they're all brothers
Knowing they're all sisters, seeing the big picture
If they not with ya, then they're against
And we're here now when they are way back when
So why try to please everyone?
When it seems all the people really want
Is to show love out and to get love back
It's to show some faith and to get respect
Just look at the world and you look at the problems
And look at the hatred and we still can't solve it
So look inside and you'll find step one
Forget a diamond, I'm shining like the sun
Cause I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
Cause I'm not a shadow
When you look down you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
Here's to you on your own, the innocent criminal
You never fit the mold, you never could sit down
You'll never go get approval how matter you prove
That love is the motive in everything you do
And revolution is you and you're against the machine
You know who you are and you know what I mean
And when this record stops you will never slow down
When the video is over you want your turn now so
You make your truth and move it straight ahead
While the followers behind you get left for dead
And for the imminent brainwashed who follow the dumb rules
Created by individuals someone like you don't
Care for the world or care for the people
They love it their way and they love unequal
And they love when they feel above someone
I don't follow the leader when they're all wrong
I'm not a shadow
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
Cause I'm not a shadow
When you look down you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
I'm not the ground beneath your feet
Cause I'm not a shadow
When you look down you won't see me
I stand up and I stand tall
I don't follow anyone, I'm not a shadow
Cause I'm not a shadow, oh no, no
This dude don't settle and never separate
