Shalom (ft. John Givez)

[Hook]
Should I run, should I run away
Should I run away and never look back?
Should I run, should I run away
Should I run away and never look back?
(oh no, oh no)
How could I ever go back the way I left?

[Verse 1: J. Han]
I’ll be rapping my tail off, truly on my lizard flow
Brother, I ain’t scared though
Running through this jungle and I’m feeling like a nomad
No, man. no more letting these opinions drive a boat to no man’s
Land in the sand and maybe you will live the kodak
Moment after moment; every time you need to go back
And recuperate to the lab again, drawing board or labyrinth
Hunger’s like a labrador retriever and it’s back again
Hello. tryna not be othello
I believed the hype, mistaking grapes for morellos
Didn’t realize that it would taste sour
Every second, every hour, certainly was not godiva
I was certain I was ready for this journey unknown
It’s better not to know how the journey unfolds
If I knew, man, I’d run away, I’d run away
Like a coward I would cower, never taking steps of faith

[Hook]

[Verse 2: J. Han]
Man, I’m looking for some peace
Some peace of mind cause I got it so conflicted
I put the focus all about chasing dreams
And neglected living out my convictions (wait a minute)
I gotta pause and recall why I did it in the first place
Never entered in this race to be first place
Cause the last shall be put ahead
I truly hope this adventure is budapest
Beautiful is the campaign
Can’t blame everybody for my bad aim
And back pain all because of low standards
I’m shooting at, going for the max damage
Feeling insecure cause the money short handed
Drinking my pride by the pints and the gallons
Maybe it’s true that I made a mistake
For not being a coward and taking these steps of faith

[Bridge: J. Han]
How you feeling? I’m feeling good today (x3)
Shalom, cause everything will be okay

[Hook]

[Verse 3: John Givez]
One time for your mind
Give me a second to recollect
They tell me my record is irregular
They talking I walk a line between sacred and secular
Save it for the reckoners, it's red in my eyes
I'm tip toeing through these terminals and floating in skies
I see my clout up in the clouds, clouded by the thousands
Of people tellin’ me that with my words they get aroused
This route don' kept me from around the way?
I'm hardly home my momma wonder if I'm sound and safe
The safest sound is in my hotel, sending off my hope mail
I need some peace and quiet speaking to God is hard to do now
If I'm honest all this talk about what ima do now as an artist
Isn't it all it's cracked up to be, crack a smile for company
Accompanied with questions ‘bout the quest I'm on for greatness
I question if these people look at me and think I'm famous
It's crazy cuz, I started making music for some peace
A way to get away from all the drama in the streets, should I run?
