Daveed Diggs
The Shadow
[Verse 1]
You're livin' life on easy street
Got all the finer things
Emeralds in your necklaces
Got diamonds in your rings
You think nothing can get to you
But that's where you went wrong
You thought you were all alone
But your shadow was there all along

[Chorus]
The Shadow's comin', The Shadow's comin'
The Shadow's comin', The Shadow's comin'

[Verse 2]
Your ivory tower stretches high
You're livin' up at the top (So high)
Penthouse, doorman, personal chef
Got vegetables to chop (Chop, chop)
And all the shiny things you love
Locked up inside a safe (It ain't safe)
But that ain't gon' do nothin' when
The Shadow is on the way

[Chorus]
Thе Shadow's comin', The Shadow's comin'
The Shadow's comin', The Shadow's comin'
[Bridge]
If you'rе livin'
Inside a castle for fools
Then there's fingers
Inchin' toward your family jewels
Well, well, well, well

[Verse 3]
Your titles and your accolades
The Shadow doesn't care (Sure don't)
But if somethin' shiny's locked away
The Shadow will be there (It's gettin' took)
So if your back is turned and you
Have martinis to sip (Drink up)
By the time you turn back around
The Shadow done got your— (Shh)
Oh, right, sneaky
Shadow
