You were the shapeshifter
Using Divine Telepathy, you refine your methods
Now reading between the lines is your specialty
You move in many circles like an Urban Celebrity
Your black belt reminds you better be keepin' it tight for real
Cause you just another walking crime accessory

Gestapo got you out here second guessing yourself
You pause and redefine your paradigm for the umpteenth time
Dash camera jump scene on your mind, Playa
Now you the sayer of a foxhole prayer
  
You were the shapeshifter

Gorilla in your villa, a Monarch
Still, they play you like a caterpillar
Your cities turned to Sodom
So, you expand your bandwidth and go James Baldwin on em'
Book a Red Eye to avoid late news factoids 
And schadenfreude
Run smack into gentrifiers, takers, pilgrims and 
Child exploiters

You were the shapeshifter

Paradox, livin' out of the box
You welcome the coming equinox
Hit the skies, taking your power back again
Got the 3rd Eye Bird's Eye happenin'
Pineal gland healing from the flouride, lies
And the saccharin
