Shadow by SOJA Standard Tuning No Capo From the album AMID THE NOISE AND HASTE to be released Aug. 12 Currently being promoted at: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/07/07/song-premiere-reggae-group-soja-reveals-shadow/12283569/ The song is very easy. The entire song repeats throughout as follows: [C] - [C] - [F] - [F] - [C] - [C] - [G] - [G] I'm not a shadow I'm not the ground beneath your feet 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 Yo...Here's to you who don't settle And never separate And never be quiet 'Cause the words you say You'll 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're not with you than they're against you And we are 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 Is to show some faith and to get respect Just look at the world and you look at the problem And look at the hatred and we still can't solve it So look inside and you'll find step one Forget a dime and I am shining like the sun I'm not a shadow I'm not the ground beneath your feet 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 Here's to you on your own The innocent criminal You never fit the mold You never go sit down You never go get approval No matter how 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 And when the video is over, you want your turn now, so You make the truth and move it straight ahead While the followers behind you get left for dead Before the imminent brainwashed follow the dumb rules Created by individuals, someone like you who 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 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
