[C]Yet it's legal in Color[Bm]ado
[Am]Yeah, we deny
[Dm]Black entreprene[D]urs,[G]
free enterprise
That's [C]why it's a black market,
that's [Dm]why it's called the trap
That's why it's called the project
'cause [G]it's exactly that
All [C]these people was gon' kill me,
heh
[D]'Cause the more I reveal me,
[G]the more they 'fraid of the real me
[C]Welcome back Carter, smile

[Verse 7]
Living in [C]the shadow
Can you imagine what kind
of life it is [Dm]to live?
In the shadows people see
you as happy and free
Because that's what
you want them to [C]see
Living two lives, happy, but not free
You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting
your family or the person you love
The world is changing and they
say it's time to be free
But you live with the fear
of just being me
Living in the shadow feels
like the safe place to be
No harm for them, no harm for me
But life is short, and it's time to be free
Love who you love,
because life isn't guaranteed
