Lyrics
Backtrack the backstabs
Reflecting on past betrayals and deceit
Infestation of rats
Comparing deceitful individuals to an infestation of rats
I'm outta my mind, gone outta my mind
Expressing a sense of losing sanity or control
Been breaking down, tryna fix things
Struggling to mend broken things or situations
Whilst you play me like a king pin
Feeling manipulated or deceived while being treated as a powerful figure
Keep spreading the lies, Keep fanning the fire
Accusing someone of spreading lies and fueling conflicts
I was so close to the finish line
Near the end of a challenge but facing unexpected obstacles
But you turned my race into a fight
Having a personal race turned into a struggle or conflict by someone else
Why you gotta be so
Questioning someone's questionable behavior
Shady
Repeated emphasis on the person being shady or deceitful
Be so
-Shady
-Why you being so
-Shady
-So So
-Shady
-Keep laughing at the wounded
Mocking or ridiculing those who are vulnerable
& Trivialise their bruises
Minimizing the significance of others' pain or struggles
Keep getting that high, keep getting that high, keep getting that high
Repeating a behavior that brings a sense of euphoria or superiority
Don't think you get a free pass
Warning against expecting forgiveness for deceptive actions
double agents, I see through that
Identifying deceitful individuals and seeing through their intentions
I know who you are, I know who you are
-I don't know how you can sleep at night
Questioning how someone can morally justify their actions
Karma's hungry for a cheeky bite
Implying that consequences (karma) are approaching for deceptive behavior
Why you gotta be so
Reiteration of the person being shady, emphasizing their questionable nature
Shady
-Be so
-Shady
-Why you being so
-Shady
-So So
-Shady
-And I know that once upon a time
Reflecting on the past positive intentions of the deceptive person
You had good intentions on your mind,
-What happened then, I thought we're friends
-But you're taking digs like i'm a villain
Expressing confusion and frustration at being treated as a villain
Swear I've never said a word, I don't know what you've overheard
Denying spreading rumors and asking the person to stop assuming
Or assuming, stop presuming that i'm tainting your dumb reputation
-I've done nothing but care for you, and I wanted us to get through
Asserting care for the person despite their deceptive actions and warning of consequences
this phase, but babe, why you scheming, teaming, attention seeking
-I don't wanna do this, but if you really insist
-You won't survive, my battle cry
-Once I bring my army to the fight
Promising a strong response with allies (army) if necessary
Didn't ever want to fight a war
Expressing disappointment at unexpectedly entering a conflict or disagreement
Thought we saw this from eye to eye
-Didn't think there were different sides
-I'd be lying if I said I'm fine
Admitting emotional distress caused by the betrayal of friends
Converting friends into your set of knives
Accusing the deceptive person of turning mutual friends against the speaker
Do you really want my battle cry?
Questioning if the deceptive person truly wants to face the consequences of their actions
Why you gotta be so
Repetition of the term "Shady" and expressing disapproval of the person's behavior
Shady
-Be so
-Shady
-Why you being so
-Shady
-So So
-Shady
-Shady
Final emphasis on the person being shady
