Dame Du Quartier - Deep Cover Lyrics

[Intro]
Chameleon skin, shape-shiftin' again
Every face I wear, another way to win

[Verse 1]
Smooth criminal in these social games
Switch up my accent, they don't know my name
Poetry club by day, battle rap at night
Playing both sides like I'm living two lives
Montreal streets taught me how to blend
Every mask I wear's a means to an end
F*ck your labels, I defy your box
While you sleep, I'm picking all your locks

[Chorus]
"Papers please, identity confirmed"
But you don't know shit about what I've learned
I'm a ghost inside your system
Moving silent, you won't ever listen
Papers please, but I'm ten steps ahead
Playing chess while you playing checkers instead

[Verse 2]
Underground moves, I'm that shadow man
Drop a word here, plant a seed in the sand
Watch it grow into a f*cking storm
While I sit back, change into new forms
Every leak's calculated, every word's a trap
You think you know me? Bitch, I'm wearing a mask
Cultural code-switching, linguistic flex
Got your whole world spinning, what's coming next?

[Chorus]
"Papers please, identity confirmed"
But you don't know shit about what I've learned
I'm a ghost inside your system
Moving silent, you won't ever listen
Papers please, but I'm ten steps ahead
Playing chess while you playing checkers instead

[Outro]
In the shadows where the real power lives
Taking notes on every move you give
Chameleon skin, that's how I survive
You'll never catch me 'cause I'm too alive
