Look at it, you're better off without me I mean even I doubt me My own dreams mock me The snicker and talk about me They want me to suffer about me Take my life around me, rob me They got me boxing my own shadow I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep (function() {var opts = {artist: "K'naan",song: "Boxing My Shadows",adunit_id: 39382077,div_id: "cf_async_" + Math.floor((Math.random() * 999999999))};document.write('');var c=function(){cf.showAsyncAd(opts)};if(window.cf)c();else{cf_async=!0;var r=document.createElement("script"),s=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];r.async=!0;r.src="//srv.tonefuse.com/showads/showad.js";r.readyState?r.onreadystatechange=function(){if("loaded"==r.readyState||"complete"==r.readyState)r.onreadystatechange=null,c()}:r.onload=c;s.parentNode.insertBefore(r,s)};})(); Send "Boxing My Shadows" Ringtone to your Mobile .ringrone, .ringtone_b { height: auto !important; }.ringrone { width: 430px; }.lyrics-ringtone { width: 380px; height: auto !important; }.lyrics-ringtone img { max-width: initial; !important }
