Dame Du Quartier - Framed Lyrics

[Intro]
Through the lens they frame my life
Caught between the truth and lies
They think they know my story right
But pixels only show what dies

[Verse 1]
Every shot they take, they paint me how they want me
One click, one frame, suddenly they all haunt me
They crop my life into their perfect little square
Post me up online like they even f*ckin' care
Been reduced to hashtags, comments section full of trash
While they build their narrative, my reality gets slashed
Y'all don't know my struggles, just the image that you see
Got me feeling boxed in, tell me who the f*ck I'm s'posed to be

[Chorus]
Framed up, cropped out, filtered through their eyes
My truth gets twisted, wrapped in pretty lies
They think they caught me, frozen in their sight
But they don't see the soul behind these lights

[Verse 2]
Screenshots become weapons, they use 'em like a knife
Cut away my context, leave me bleeding through this life
Social media jury, passing judgment through their phones
Think they know my whole story from some pictures that they own
F*ck your validation, I ain't here to please your feed
Your perception's limited, but my soul refuses to bleed
Between these languages, between these worlds I roam
Y'all can't capture that essence through your little f*ckin' chrome

[Chorus]
Framed up, cropped out, filtered through their eyes
My truth gets twisted, wrapped in pretty lies
They think they caught me, frozen in their sight
But they don't see the soul behind these lights

[Outro]
Let the picture fade
Let the frame decay
Truth can't be contained
In what your lens displays
