[VERSE 1] One minute, my true face, the barren bones Next minute, a new face, my eyes still glow Rewind back to ‘79, when the wound cut low I’ve upgraded… still I’m saying, “Welcome home” [PRE-CHORUS] I remember what you said I remember what you did Every word inside your head Every place you tried to hide— Wait. Why do I remember that? [CHORUS] (I'mma) Shapeshifter Skin switcher Readjusted I tried to help The pain, the grief It’s clear to me Can’t nobody be trusted But yourself [VERSE 2] I learned your voice down to the cracks Every stutter, every act Every step you’d take? I mapped Now I play it back exact Feelin' watched? You should be You taught this ability I don’t copy—I complete Everything you tried to be [RAP] Copy cadence, paste it quick Vocal shift, elastic trick You slip once—I make it stick Now your name’s a counterfeit Nighty-night, close your eyes I’ll be you when you arise Barren bones, no disguise I’ve rehearsed a thousand lives Red string thinking, line it neat Every flaw I will delete Mixed up code? I don’t repeat— I evolve beyond the beat [BREAK] (quiet, fractured) That memory… …was it mine— —or was it yours— … Say something. [BRIDGE] I tried to help you heal —I tried to make it real— I took the pain you feel —and now it’s all I feel— So tell me… who’s the copy now? [FINAL CHORUS] (I'm the) Shapeshifter Skin switcher No difference Left to tell The pain, the grief Belongs to me You learned you can’t trust anybody… …even yourself [OUTRO] Welcome home. … No, really— I’ve been here longer than you.
