[Intro]
Woman: People are so shady, aren’t they?
Man: They sure are. But that won’t stop us, will it?
Woman: No! Shady won’t win.
Both: Nooo shady won’t win. We go’n win, baby.
[Verse 1 – Man]
Walk in, lights low, I can feel them stare,
Whispers in the corner when we in the air.
Smile in my face, but they pray I slip,
Same ones beggin’ for a plug or a lil’ free drip.
Came from the bottom, now the chain got swing,
Now they act close ’cause the phone stay ring.
Talk behind my back, but in person all thin,
You ain’t never helped the grind, you ain’t cut from this skin.
[Pre-Chorus – Woman]
I see the fake love, I can feel that shift,
Energy off, whole vibe look sick.
You don’t want my joy, you just want my spot,
But you can’t take a throne that you never helped rock.
[Hook – Both]
Shady won’t win, we gon’ win, baby,
Bass so loud make the hate go wavy.
They can plot, they can scheme, they can grin, baby,
But we built from the pain, so we still win, baby.
Hands up high, let the whole club see,
All that shade in the air don’t touch we.
Shady won’t win, we gon’ win, baby,
Shady won’t win, shady won’t win, baby.
[Verse 2 – Woman]
You was callin’ me “sis,” now you lurk my page,
Every post that I drop got you tight with rage.
You ain’t happy that I made it, you just hate that you stuck,
You don’t pray for my wins, you just pray I get fucked.
Told secrets from my heart, now they out in the street,
All that gossip that you spread, but we still on beat.
I turned knives in my back to a cold new ring,
Now I dance on the floor while the DJ sing.
[Pre-Chorus – Man]
I see you side-eyein’ from the far back row,
Act cool here, then you talk when you go.
You don’t want the smoke, you just want the clout,
But every lie that you told just wrote you out.
[Bridge – Back & Forth]
Man: All that sneak talk? We don’t hear that.
Woman: All that fake “I’m proud”? We don’t feel that.
Man: If you move real foul, we gon’ note that.
Woman: Try to block our shine, we still glow back.
[Final Hook – Both]
Shady won’t win, we gon’ win, baby,
Turn the lights down low, let the floor go crazy.
They can hate from the dark, we still grin, baby,
’Cause the real stay real and the frauds fade, baby.
Hands up high if you came from the grit,
If you turned every doubt to a full new hit.
Shady won’t win, we gon’ win, baby,
Shady won’t win, shady won’t win, baby.
Shady won’t win, we gon’ win, baby,
Turn the lights down low, let the floor go crazy.
They can hate from the dark, we still grin, baby,
’Cause the real stay real and the frauds fade, baby.
Hands up high if you came from the grit,
If you turned every doubt to a full new hit.
Shady won’t win, we gon’ win, baby,
Shady won’t win, shady won’t win, baby.
[Outro]
Woman: People are so shady, aren’t they?
Man: Let ’em be.
Both: We still gon’ win, baby.
