[Intro – Woman & Man] 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. [Beat drops] [Verse 1 – Man] Yeah, I seen ’em in the dark, throwin’ salt on my name, Smile in my face, but they hate when I gain. Fake hugs, fake love, tryna study my game, But they fumble every bag when it’s time to maintain. Look— I was grindin’ in the back, they was laughin’ at the plan, Now I’m steppin’ in the club with a queen by my hand. They be whisperin’ in corners, tryna plot, tryna scheme, But I built this from the floor, they just mad I’m supreme. Ay, snakes in the grass, but my vision infrared, I can see the bad vibes way before they get fed. They don’t wanna put in work, they just wanna get a cut, But I ain’t breakin’ bread with the ones talkin’ rough. [Pre-Chorus – Woman] I see ’em lookin’ at us from the sidelines, yeah, Prayin’ that we fall, but we still rise, yeah. They throwin’ little shots, but we don’t mind, yeah, ’Cause every time they hate, we just still shine, yeah. [Chorus – Both] Shady won’t win (nah), we gon’ win, baby (we gon’ win). Turn the lights low, let the hate go crazy. They can talk, they can plot, they can spin, baby, But they never knock us off, we too ten, baby. Shady won’t win (nah), we gon’ win, baby (we gon’ win). Every L that they wish, we just flip, baby. From the floor to the sky, we ascend, baby, Shady won’t win, shady won’t win, baby. [Verse 2 – Woman] Heard you talkin’ on the gram, but in person you’re mute, All that cappin’ in your captions, but you never speak truth. You was “sis,” you was “bro,” you was “day one” too, ’Til you tried to move funny, now I’m done with you. Look— I remember late nights when I cried on your phone, You was smilin’ on the low ’cause you wanted my throne. You ain’t happy that I made it, you just hate that you didn’t, Now I’m dancin’ in the spotlight, and you stuck in your feelings. Got my man on my side, and we both locked in, You could never understand how it feels to win. You be prayin’ for my fall, but I bounce right back, Every stab in the back turned to fuel on the track. [Pre-Chorus – Man] I see ’em in the corner with that weak vibe, yeah, Talkin’ down on our name ’cause we reach high, yeah. They hopin’ that the pressure make us decline, yeah, But every time they doubt, we just rewind, yeah. [Chorus – Both] Shady won’t win (nah), we gon’ win, baby (we gon’ win). Turn the bass up, let the floor go crazy. They can lurk, they can watch, they can grin, baby, But they never crack the code, we too in, baby. Shady won’t win (nah), we gon’ win, baby (we gon’ win). Every test that they send, we ascend, baby. From the dirt, from the pain, we’ve been, baby, Shady won’t win, shady won’t win, baby. [Bridge – Back & Forth] Man: All that sneak diss talk? We don’t hear that. Woman: All that fake love shown? We don’t feel that. Man: All that “day one” cap? You can keep that.
