[02:59.36]"Prehaps I Freudian slipped in European whips"
[03:02.10]God sent me to break the chain
[03:03.47]I'm the true and livin'
[03:04.98]God in the flesh, the rest of these niggas is vain
[03:06.94]A stain on the white suit, inferior IQ
[03:09.56]Niggas'll rip your shit off TIDAL just to spite you

[03:45.33]Fear for you, bro, we know the system don't work
[03:47.72]Take a young nigga's freedom over some dirt
[03:49.94]Yet it's legal in Colorado
[03:51.34]Yeah, we deny
[03:52.51]Black entrepreneurs, free enterprise
[03:54.96]That's why it's a black market
[03:56.03]That's why it's called the trap
[03:57.15]That's why it's called the projects
[03:58.51]'Cause it's exactly that
[03:59.55]All these people was gon' kill me
[04:01.83]'Cause the more I reveal me
[04:03.27]The more they 'fraid of the real me
[04:04.46]Welcome back Carter, smile
[04:07.33]Living in the shadow
[04:08.76]Can you imagine what kind of life it is to live
[04:12.35]In the shadows people see you as happy and free
[04:15.88]Because that's what you want them to see
[04:18.35]Living two lives, happy, but not free
[04:21.39]You live in the shadows for fear of
[04:23.62]Someone hurting your family
[04:25.28]Or the person you love
[04:27.36]The world is changing
[04:29.11]And they say it's time to be free
[04:31.38]But you live with the fear of just being me
[04:34.95]Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be
[04:38.36]No harm for them, no harm for me
[04:41.37]But life is short, and it's time to be free
[04:44.39]Love who you love, because life isn't guaranteed
[04:48.25]Smile
