Always in the shadows

Glamorosa

Days have gone by
And it's final sinking in
I have this a cancer trying to get me
A silent killer for some and a loud speaker for others
For me it was a quite creeper
Something I knew could be lurking
Always in the shadows
Like some 90'a boogie man
But here it is
In my being
Wanting to scare me to make me run
But it doesn't know who it's messing with
This Colombian goddess will prevail
With all of her ancestors ready for battle
And her mind ready for a fight
