[Chorus]

You're a Shapeshifter, yeah, you hide behind the mask

Always smiling in my face, but when I turn I know you point and laugh

Look at how you switch up, you're just waiting to attack

First you say congratulations, then turn and stab me in the back

You're a Shapeshifter, OK, I shoulda seen the signs

You're a Shapeshifter, nobody knows who's deep inside

Look at how you switch up, the more you talk, the more you lie

You're a Shapeshifter, Shapeshifter, yeah


[Verse 1]

Who among you can I trust here? What's fake? What's real?

What face do you conceal? The rumors you're spreading is unreal

Watch my drink, you might try to lace it, if you try my patience, then face the steel

Future said: "Mask off", I'm just waiting for you to do your face reveal

Pool full of lies, you gon' dive in it, blood stains on my Gucci shirt

My back hurts from all the knives in it, look me in the face if you shoot me first

Lights come on, and your crew dispersed, rats and roaches, snakes-a-plenty

Look, if you're gonna be two-faced, then you should at least try to make one of them pretty

What's underneath the facade? What's hiding behind the curtain?

Someone once told me that it's OK to walk away if you know that the steps are uncertain

Please, do not smile in my face, you are not who you seem, that's why I don't even trip

Hand me the grip, yeah, I'll snap a finger, and you can be gone in a blip


[Chorus]

You're a Shapeshifter, yeah, you hide behind the mask

Always smiling in my face, but when I turn I know you point and laugh

Look at how you switch up, you're just waiting to attack

First you say congratulations, then turn and stab me in the back

You're a Shapeshifter, OK, I shoulda seen the signs

You're a Shapeshifter, nobody knows who's deep inside

Look at how you switch up, the more you talk, the more you lie

You're a Shapeshifter, Shapeshifter, yeah


[Verse 2]

How many people have you lied to? How many more are just like you?

How many minds have you changed with your lies about me? I should do the same thing just to spite you

At first, I wanted to fight you, now I just pity your pettiness

People like you will never take the blame, but they'll be the first ones to take the credit

It's funny how frenemies will stab you right in the back, but remember, there's a reason that they're behind you

Just like a shadow, they only show up from their confines when the sun shines

When it rains, you better believe, they turn to mist and disappear into a cloud of smoke

The veil is so thin that it's easy to see, might as well be disguised as a dagger and cloak

Take off the cover, let's see what's inside, dig a little deeper, demons inside

Carbon-copy might as well be AI, the way that you copy my style

Vermin and varmints really need to take off the varnish and shows us your true colors

When I'm on top, please, don't tell everybody that we knew each other, always knew that


[Chorus]

You're a Shapeshifter, yeah, you hide behind the mask

Always smiling in my face, but when I turn I know you point and laugh

Look at how you switch up, you're just waiting to attack

First you say congratulations, then turn and stab me in the back

You're a Shapeshifter, OK, I shoulda seen the signs

You're a Shapeshifter, nobody knows who's deep inside

Look at how you switch up, the more you talk, the more you lie

You're a Shapeshifter, Shapeshifter, yeah


[Outro]

What's fake? What's real? What face do you conceal?

What's fake? What's real? What face do you conceal?

What's fake? What's real? What face do you conceal?

What's fake? What's real? What face do you conceal? Uh!
