Dame Du Quartier - Snapshot Lyrics

[Intro]
Click, flash, that's all it takes
One moment frozen, yeah, that's what it makes
Your lens, my truth, what's real and fake?
A thousand words but none I can erase

[Verse 1]
They say a picture worth a stack, but mine cost me more
Vanessa caught me slippin', now I'm viral for sure
Used to rock designer fits, now I'm dressed in metaphors
Every caption twist my words, got me feeling insecure
Thought we had respect between us, that's what hurt the most
Now my image floating through the web like a digital ghost
Middle-class kid from Laval, yeah, that's who I was
Now I'm just content for clicks, damn, that's all because

[Chorus]
Snapshot, stolen moment, frozen in time
Snapshot, my life cropped, it ain't even mine
They take and they crop and they post what they like
My truth in their frame, yeah, they stole my life

[Verse 2]
Got me feeling exposed like negatives in the dark
Every comment section reading like a question mark
Y'all don't know the story, just the part that she chose
Got me trending for the wrong reasons, that's how it goes
F*ck the fake narrative, I'm taking back what's mine
Every bar I write's erasing what they tried to define
Lost in translation between what's real and what they see
Cette image volée ne définit pas qui je suis, feel me?

[Bridge]
They thought they caught me
But they don't know what they caught
This ain't your story to tell
This ain't your art to sell

[Verse 3]
Now I'm flipping through these comments like a photo book
Each opinion got me twisted, got me second look
But I'm done with being framed in their perspective
Time to develop my own truth, that's my objective
Watch me turn this snapshot to a masterpiece
Every bar I spit gonna set my mind at ease
From Laval to worldwide, yeah, that's my release
Turn their scandal to my canvas, watch me paint in peace

[Outro]
Click, flash, that's how it ends
My image mine again, that's how it mends
Snapshot...
