They tried to put me in a box

Labeled it. Sealed it. Filed it away

Bad move

I'm not one thing, never was, never will be, don't even try

Every time they think they got me figured out I switch and multiply

You want the rapper? Here he is. You want the monster? He's in here too

You want the calm collected version? Yeah, he's waiting in the queue

I shift the shape before they focus, change the form before they aim

By the time they pull the trigger I'm already not the same

I'm the thing that won't stay still, the target they can never pin

Every time they think the fight is over, that's when I begin

You can't cage what keeps changing

Can't kill what keeps rearranging

I'm not who I was when you weren't watching

I'm not who I'll be when the dust is gone

Every time you think you see me, I'm already something else

I'm a shapeshifter, and I'm never done

Now watch me flip it, guitars gone, just the bass and the darkness

I switch lanes like I switch weights, call it creative sharpness

One minute I'm the rock star with the riffs and all the fury

Next minute I'm the surgeon with the bars, judge and the jury

They said"pick a lane", nah, I bought the highway

Built a bridge between the genres and I did it my way

You want me comfortable? You want me predictable and tame?

Then you haven't been paying attention, I don't play that game

I'm the metamorphosis that happens in the dark of night

The caterpillar burned the cocoon and came out ready to fight

And every time I evolve they gotta update the scouting report

'Cause the version that they studied is the version I already torched

You can't cage what keeps changing

Can't kill what keeps rearranging

I'm not who I was when you weren't watching

I'm not who I'll be when the dust is gone

Every time you think you see me, I'm already something else

I'm a shapeshifter, and I'm never done

You want speed? I got speed

You want bars? I got bars

You want something you've never heard before?

Hold on

Hold on

I'm the shapeshifter never the same formation

Every track a different weapon every verse a new mutation

I don't fit in any genre 'cause the genre doesn't own me

I'm the hybrid that they never saw the old me would've shown me

What it looks like playing safe and living small and never bending

But I broke the mold and burned it there is no going back no mending

I'm the rock the rap the spoken word the fury and the silence

I'm the calm before the chaos and the chaos after violence

I'm not who I was when you weren't watching

I'm not who I'll be when the dust is gone

Every time you think you see me, I'm already something else

I'm a shapeshifter, and I'm never done

Adapt or die

I chose to adapt
