Lyrics to Shadow of a Man by Jhameel

take it by your bruises he’s been workin’ hard on ya
feedin’ you this bullsh*t why he needs to take it out on ya
i’ve seen this all before
slaps you then calls you whore
you need to leave him darlin’ don’t let this go on

take it by your bleedin’ he’s been beatin’ strong on ya
tellin’ me this bullsh*t you can’t live without his arm on ya
i’ve heard this all before
can’t nobody help no more
you need to leave him darlin’ don’t let this go on

i know you’ve known him for so long
but the one that you love is gone
and left is a
shadow of a man

you need to stop baby think about yourself
are you happy with the way that he’s been treatin’ you like hell
you need to stop baby think about your child
are you happy with the way that he’s been givin’ her the belt

one day you’ll look back and you’ll cry
you’ll have a new man by your side
he’ll treat that precious ass so well
one day you’ll look back at this hell
