[Intro]
Crossed too many lines, now there's nothing left to find
Between your truth and mine, yeah, between your truth and mine
[Verse 1]
Lost in translation, cultural appropriation
You took my story, turned it into your creation
Thought you were different, thought you understood the mission
Instead you played me like some f*cking exhibition
Cross-continental love affair turned sour
Watching my identity dissolve by the hour
You studied me like I'm your damn dissertation
Now my whole life's just your interpretation
[Chorus]
On the borderlands, where trust dies
Where truth and lies, they crystallize
On the borderlands, where we collide
Where culture's stolen, where souls divide
[Verse 2]
You took my essence, flipped it for your presence
Got me questioning my whole damn existence
Switching languages like changing clothes
While you document every word that flows
Shit, I gave you access to my soul
Now you're selling tickets to my show
Cultural vulture with a scholar's degree
Taking pieces of what makes me me
[Bridge]
Every border that you cross
Is another piece of me that's lost
Every story that you tell
Is mine to sell, mine to sell
[Outro]
On these borderlands, I stand alone
Reclaiming everything you've shown
My narrative, my truth to own
Back on my side of the zone
