I left my coat on your old front chair

Traded the cold for the salt thick air

Suitcase open on a stranger's floor

You swore this time I'm yours

Church bells cutting through mango trees

Gold cross tangled where your hands found me

You kissed my doubts till they turned to steam

Then ran back to your easy dream

Serpents in the sand

Halos in my hand

I walk this island like a promise I don't understand

Lies taste sweet like the fruit you fed me

But I spit the seeds

Let the truth unsettle me

I'm not your secret

I'm not your shame

If love burns clean

It can stand the flame

Serpents in the sand

But I still stand

Faith like fire in my shaking hands

Your mother's smile felt like sharpened glass

Friends at the bar taking notes on my past

Your phone face down when you turned away

Her name still hiding in the light of day yeah

You called it complicated history

But bruises bloom in what you don't tell me

You'd rather drown in a shallow lie

Than trust this depth you saw in my eyes

Serpents in the sand

Halos in my hand

I walk this island like a promise I don't understand

Lies taste sweet like the fruit you fed me

But I spit the seeds

Let the truth unsettle me

I'm not your secret

I'm not your shame

If love burns clean

It can stand the flame

Serpents in the sand

But I still stand

Faith like fire in my shaking hands

I won't curse this sea for what you did

I won't bury my heart where you hid

I've got a God that sees through skin

Through wedding rings and whispered sins

Serpents in the sand

Halos in my hand

I walk this island like a promise I now understand

Lies taste sweet

But they can't own me

I drink the light

Let the mercy cover me

I'm not your secret

I'm not your shame

I walk through venom in a Higher name

Serpents in the sand

But I still stand

Faith like thunder in my open hands

STAY IN YOUR LANE

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

You tried to steal my shade

Now you stuck in his

Sharing lies with the ops

Can't share your man with his kids

You played the perfect wife

He played you for a fool

You hiding secret babies

I'm busy breaking rules

You study every move I make

Still can't imitate my grace

You hate me but watch my page

Still you can't sit in my place

I was born Royal

Crown in my veins

You could buy the dress

Still not my lane

You can copy talk

Copy my name

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Like me

You gossip with enemies

I just reign

You sleep next to cheating

I upgrade

See how the universe clears my way

Never forget

I'm Royalty

Baby Stay in your lane

You bend for a broken ring

Lie down with a walking lie

You toast to your fairy tale

Knowing there's a child on the side

You tried to spin my story

Paint me as the one

But karma took your canvas

Now you're melting in the sun

You threw dirt on all my glow

Still my flowers had to grow

You sold cheap I raised my rate

You played me

Played your fate

I was born Royal

Crown in my veins

You could buy the dress

Still not my lane

You can copy talk

Copy my name

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Like me

You gossip with enemies

I just reign

You sleep next to cheating

I upgrade

See how the Universe clears my way

Never forget

I'm Royalty

Baby Stay in your lane

Look at you

Stuck in that story you wrote

Look at me

Glowing in everything you spoke

Every dig

Every word

Turned to diamonds on my robe

Universe took your shade

Turned it into my gold

I was born Royal

Crown in my veins

You could buy the dress

Still not my lane

You can copy talk

Copy my name

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Like me

You gossip with enemies

I just reign

You sleep next to cheating

I upgrade

See how the Universe clears my way

Never forget

I'm Royalty

Baby

Stay in your lane

Stay in your lane

"MY DOUDOU"

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

Born Royal

Never begged for a seat

Crown on feet up

Yeah I'm talking to you

You was my girl

'Til you turned to a fan

Cloned every move

Still can't touch who I am

Called me your doudou 

You pressed

That's cute

You studying my stories

While he lying to you

Ring on your finger

But your finger look chained

You brag on that man

He embarrassing your name

Got a secret little baby

You pretend you can't see

You ain't riding for love

You just scared to leave

You jealous

Say it with your chest

You envy

Wearing it like a dress

You copy every single thing I be

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Talk slick

Gossip with the enemy

You bitter

Wishing you were in this seat

Baby

I'm Royalty

Born High key

And you'll never be a Queen like me

You tried to play me

You played yourself

Sold out a friendship

For some bargain shelf help

You sit on the phone

Spilling lies on my name

Meanwhile I'm booked

Too busy counting these gains

See how the universe spin

What you send come back

You plotted my fall

Now you stuck in that trap

I glow in the storm

You fold under heat

I'm walking in purpose

You stuck on repeat

You jealous

Say it with your chest

You envy

Wearing it like a dress

You copy every single thing I be

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Talk slick

Gossip with the enemy

You bitter

Wishing you were in this seat

Baby

I'm Royalty

Born High key

And you'll never be a Queen like me

Stay in your lane Lil' baby stay there

This crown too heavy for the lazy

I'm up You stuck on maybe

I'm chosen

You just chasing

You in that pitiful play

Smiling like everything straight

I'm in my era of grace

Winning while you play fake

You jealous

Say it with your chest

You envy

Wearing it like a dress

You copy every single thing I be

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Talk slick

Gossip with the enemy

You bitter

Wishing you were in this seat

Baby I'm Royalty

Born High key

Never forget

I'm Royalty

Baby

And you'll never be a Queen like me 

TABLE ( THEY TURN...)

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

You was at my table

Smiling in my face

Eyes on my plate

Took notes on my angles

Now you dress like me

But the soul don't match

Tried to wear my crown

Neck got weak

Had to set it down

You studied my sound

Still can't fake presence

Still can't fake ground

You really thought you played me 

Please

You really thought you played me

You wrote yourself the saddest scene

I'm walking out the movie clean

I'm born Royal

I don't chase a thing

You could steal my style

Still not a Queen

You sleep next to a liar and call it a ring

That's your karma

That's your little dream

Talk about me with enemies

Still wanna be me 

Universe spinning

Watch what it brings

I'm born royal

Gold in my veins

Stay in your lane

Stay in your lane

You post "perfect love"

But you cry in the car when the filter's off

He got one more kid

You pretend you don't see

That's a heavy gloss

Laugh at my name

While you carry his shame like a plastic bag

You gossip

You beg

For a seat at a table I already had

You really thought you played me

You really thought you played me

But you the one in a house of cheats

I'm the one that the truth still feeds

I'm born Royal

I don't chase a thing

You could steal my style

Still not a Queen

You sleep next to a liar and call it a ring

That's your karma

That's your little dream

Talk about me with enemies

Still wanna be me

Universe spinning

Watch what it brings

I'm born Royal

Gold in my veins

Never forget I'm Royalty

Baby, stay in your lane

DARK MAGIC DUMB CHOICES

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

So you lit your candles

Whispered my name into smoke

Thought you really did something

Girl

That spell was a joke

You dressed up obsession

Tried to call it fate

But you can't steal a diamond

Just by cutting the gate

You got his body on your sofa

But his mind is in my room

You sip victory like cheap wine

I know you're tasting doom

You used your dark magic

Baby

But you can't rewrite what's already written

You held him hostage in your chaos

Does it sting to know I'm still his rhythm ?

You tore at a bond that blessed you never

Thought you won by breaking two hearts in one

Tell me

How's that black magic working ?

When the universe keeps circling us back to love

You scroll through my pages

Measuring what you'll never be

Try to copy my laughter

But you choke on being free

You laid down your morals

For a man who dreams my name

Tell me

Was it worth it

Trading peace for petty games ?

You got his shadow in your mirror

But his light is here with me

You built a castle out of curses

Watch it crumble gracefully

You used your dark magic

Baby

But you can't rewrite what's already written

You held him hostage in your chaos

Does it sting to know I'm still his rhythm ?

You tore at a bond that blessed you never

Thought you won by breaking two hearts in one

Tell me How's that black magic working ?

When the universe keeps circling us back to love

You don't scare me

Girl you bore me

All that drama

All that noise

I don't chase I just attract it

Real queens never fight for toys

You can keep the restless lying

I'll keep walking head so high

'Cause you can't live a good life

Darling

Building altars out of lies

You used your dark magic

Baby

But you can't rewrite what's already written

You held him hostage in your chaos

Does it sting to know I'm still his rhythm ?

You tore at a bond that blessed you never

Thought you won by breaking two hearts in one

Tell me how's that black magic working ?

When the universe keeps circling us back to love

QUEEN LIKE ME

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

You lit candles

Drew circles on your floor

Posted up like you won something

But you still watching my door

You study my pictures

Same pose, same hair, same glare

You trying on my mannerisms

But my crown don't fit you there

You envy me

You wanna be me

But you'll never be a Queen like me

You pulled him in with your little cheap tricks

Dark wishes

Dirty secrets in the sheets

But the universe sees what you hide

You can't sleep right when you split true ties

Two souls made for each other

You cut that thread

Now karma laying pretty at the foot of your bed

I'm Royalty Baby

Say it with ease

Diamonds in my spine when I breathe

Stay in your lane

Don't swerve at me

You'll never be a Queen like me

You got his body

But you never got his peace

Hear my name in every argument

My laugh in every dream

You thought you broke me

I was sipping tea

Unbothered

Signed my name in the stars instead

You still scrolling

Pressed and bothered

You play with shadows

I dance in daylight glow

You beg for love in secret

I'm the standard he'll remember most

You envy me

You wanna be me

But you'll never be a Queen like me

You took him out of alignment

Yeah

But that bond lives deeper than your reach

And the Universe counts every lie

You can't build joy over stolen ties

Two hearts made for each other

You cracked that glass

Now you cutting your own hands every time that you grasp

I'm Royalty Baby

Watch how I speak

Gold in my walk

Every step

Stay in your lane

Don't swerve at me

You'll never be a Queen like me

Look at you

Trying on my throne (sit down)

All that effort still alone

I'm blessed going higher while you cling to his phone

I release

I rise

I glow

I don't chase I attract

Every loss comes back

So enjoy your prize

All patched and torn

You got the storm

I kept the form

Remember my name when it all comes back

That's the sound of the Universe keeping track yeah

You envy me

You wanna be me

But you'll never be a Queen like me

You bent the rules with your midnight plans

But you can't hold love in stolen hands

The universe turns

Watch and see

I stay soft

Stay strong

Stay free

Never forget

I'm Royalty

Baby

Stay in your lane

Don't dream of my seat

I'm royalty

Baby

Carved in my genes

Throne in my blood

Not in his needs

Stay in your lane

Just let it be

You'll never be a Queen like me

I WAS BORN ROYAL

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

You lit the candles

You traced my name

Drew little circles

Tried to bend fate

You stirred his shadow

Whispered your spells

Thought you could steal

What you don't know well

You wear my perfume

You copy my pose

Scroll through my pictures

Steal all my clothes

But there's a crown

You don't see on me

It's in my bones

It's in my bloodline

Queen

I was born Royal

I don't beg

I don't chase

You can steal the man

But you can't take my place

You envy my throne

Try to walk in my name

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Stay in your lane

You twisted his mind

Played in shadows and smoke

But you can't live well off a love that you broke

Two souls torn apart

That debt comes back

Babe

Never forget I'm Royalty

Stay in your lane

You sip on gossip

Like it's cheap wine

Spit out my secrets

Add poison each time

You call me crazy

To cover your tracks

But truth moves quiet

And always bites back

You post your pictures

You practice my smile

Your crown is plastic

Mine's been here awhile

The Universe listens

To every move

You built your castle

On someone else's roots

I was born Royal

I don't beg

I don't chase

You can steal the man

But you can't take my place

You envy my throne

Try to walk in my name

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Stay in your lane

You twisted his mind

Played in shadows and smoke

But you can't live well off a love that you broke

Two souls torn apart

That debt comes back

Babe

Never forget

I'm Royalty

Stay in your lane

I don't need revenge

I just let it spin

Watch the karma come

Watch your masks wear thin

I was made for Gold

You were made for games

I keep rising up

You keep chasing names

I was born Royal

I don't beg

I don't chase

You can steal the man

Babe you can't take my place

You envy my throne

Try to walk in my name

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Stay in your lane

You twisted his mind

Played in shadows and smoke

But you can't live well off a love that you broke

Two souls torn apart

That debt comes back

Babe

Never forget

I'm Royalty

Never forget my name

I was born Royal

Baby

Stay in your lane

Stay in your lane

REIGN

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

You stitched my name

Into your spells

Dim little crown on a crooked shelf

You lit your candles

Tried to twist fate

But you can't fake class

You can't upgrade

You stole a man

Thought you stole my throne

But a paper ring never matched my gold

You wear my perfume

Laugh in my tone

Still your kingdom cracks like cheap glass homes

I was born Royal by birth

Not vibe

Got a crown in my blood

In my eyes

You can copy my walk

My wave

My speech

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Talk loud

Spread lies

That's cute

Every curse that you cast comes back to you

You can play in the dark

Drink jealousy

But you'll never

Ever Reign like me

You prayed I'd break

You rehearsed my fall

But the Universe keeps receipts on all

You split two hearts that were meant as one

Tell me

How's your sleep when the damage's done ?

He's in your house but his soul's off track

Every hug you give

He's still looking back

You chased my life

Now you wear his chains

I sip my tea while you taste that pain

I was born Royal by birth

Not vibe

Got a crown in my blood

In my eyes

You can copy my walk

My wave

My speech

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Talk loud

Spread lies

That's cute

Every curse that you cast comes back to you

You can play in the dark

Drink jealousy

But you'll never

Ever Reign like me

Keep my name in your mouth

Make it shine

Every rumor you spin just polishes mine

Stay in your lane

Little spark I blaze

You can't steal a soul that was heaven made

I was born Royal by birth

Not vibe

Got a crown in my blood

In my eyes

You can copy my walk

My wave

My speech

But you'll never be a Queen like me

Talk loud

Spread lies

That's cute

Every curse that you cast comes back to you

Bow down to the truth

Kiss my legacy

Never forget

I'm Royalty

Baby

DOUBLE SHADOW DUET

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

He calls you brother

Tells old jokes

Cuts the truth

Between the notes

Twenty years of "trust me man"

But every favor comes with a plan

He smiles at me

Too long too slow

Eyes say "mine"

While his words say "bro"

Sells me stories about your past

Twists the ending to make them last

You're just a shadow duet

Singing his regrets

He keeps his hands on your anger

Like a secret marionette

All of his poison praise

Keeps you in the same place

You think it's love but it's control

And it's stealing you from grâce

And it's stealing you from grâce

She stands beside him

Same sharp grin

Matching rings

Same rot within

Two piece pity on display

They throw their thorns

Then bow and pray

They hate their choices

So they choose for you

Feed your weakness

Like it's Holy truth

Every "trust me" costs you light

Every "I got you" shrinks your life

You're just a shadow duet

Singing his regrets

He keeps his hands on your anger

Like a secret marionette

All of his poison praise

Keeps you in the same place

You think it's love but it's control

And it's stealing you from grâce

He's stealing you from grâce

He swears he wants

The best for you

But best for him is breaking you

He tried to pull me into that bed

I chose my soul over what he said

So when you call it "family"

Remember who you couldn't be

Every time you dim your heart

You're just playing his part

You're just a shadow duet

Singing his regrets

He keeps his hands on your anger

Like a secret marionette

All of his poison praise

Keeps you in the same place

You think it's love but it's control

And he's stealing you from grâce

One day the strings will break

And all his lies fall mute

I'll be standing past the curtain

Waiting for the real you

SNAKES IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

He tunes his charm like a fretboard

Every smile in the wrong key

Said we been tight for twenty years

But he never once saw me

Tried to slide his hand on my heart

Like it's something he could steal

Under cheap red bar light

Showed me exactly what he is

Snakes in the spotlight

Hissing in the back row

Poison in the advice

Dripping through the "I know"

Two heads one twisted halo

Playing with a loaded soul

Snakes in the spotlight

And they're choking all his growth

He calls it "brotherly wisdom"

While he pulls him off the path

Feeds him girls with broken wings

Then laughs at the aftermath

She's at home with a bitter tongue

Pouring vinegar in his wine

They trade their small

Small stories

Till they bleed into his mind

Snakes in the spotlight

Hissing in the back row

Poison in the advice

Dripping through the "I know"

Two heads one twisted halo

Playing with a loaded soul

Snakes in the spotlight

And they're choking all his growth

Hypocrite halo

Made of secrets and control

He could be a wildfire

But they keep him burning cold

I won't bend my values

Just to fit inside their cage

Let them drown in their reflection

I'm already on my way

Snakes in the spotlight

Hissing in the back row

Poison in the advice

Dripping through the "I know"

Two heads one twisted halo

Playing with a loaded soul

Snakes in the spotlight

But I'm walking past their show

KARMA'S GOT RECEIPTS

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

You loved my glow

Till it burned your pride

Smiling in my face

Spilling tea on the side

Calling up my past

Like it's your hotline

Feeding him my secrets

Thinking you outshined

You said "He too fine"

When I found my peace

Jealous of my joy

Jealous I got free

So I pulled away

Cut you from the frame

You chose your little games

Now remember this name

Karma's got receipts

She don't ever miss a thing

You were busy plotting me

While your house was suffering

You were trading all my truth

For a front row petty seat

But the joke falls back on you

'Cause karma's got receipts

Karma's got receipts

You linked with his girl

Thought you played it smart

Posting little pictures

Like a brand new start

But you never checked

Who you let inside

Sis was bringing women

For your husband on the side

There's a baby in the shadows

Carrying his last name

Tiny little heartbeat

From your man's old games

You were so obsessed

With dimming down my spark

Didn't see your own storm

Building in the dark

Karma's got receipts

She don't ever miss a thing

You were busy plotting me

While your house was suffering

You were laughing at my life

But you couldn't see your leak

All that dirt you swept on me

Now it's buried at your feet

Karma's got receipts

Signed in secrets he'd keep

You were coming for my light

Now you're drowning in his deep

Yeah you wanted me to bleed

Now you're begging for a clean

But the truth comes back in 3s

And karma's got receipts

I don't have to lift a finger

I don't have to say a word

Every lie you tried to linger

Came back louder than you heard

I just wish you healing girl

But I'm guarding all my peace

You taught me what a friend ain't

And karma did the rest for me

Karma's got receipts

She don't ever miss a thing

You were busy watching me

While your world was caving in

You were trading all my truth

For a front-row petty seat

But the joke falls back on you

Cause karma's got receipts

Karma's got receipts

Stamped on every shady deed

I just walked up out the fire

You stayed dancing with the heat

Yeah you wanted me to hurt

Now you're tangled in his cheats

I just glow and let it be

Cause karma's got receipts

KARMA WROTE THE ENDING

Lyrics & Melody : Chatte

You loved my glow

But you hated my shine

Smiling in my face

Digging up my life behind

Pillow talk oon your husband's side

Feeding my ex my secrets

Like you slept just fine

You thought you had the upper hand

Playing both sides for a petty high

But every little word you planned

Was just a match under your own life

Karma wrote the ending

Better than I ever could

You linked arms with his new girl

Thinking you were looking good

But she used to ship girls in

For your man on that hidden shore

And he's got a baby out there

You don't know what your prayers paid for yeah

Karma wrote the ending

I don't have to say one word more

You distanced me

So you could feel tall

Turned my history into gossip

Like you'd never fall

Now you're posting drinks

With his brand new fling

But you don't see the ferry rides

And the secret ring

Every screenshot

Every lie came back like a boomerang

You tried to haunt my nights

Now you're waking to that bang

Karma wrote the ending

Better than I ever could

You linked arms with his new girl

Thinking you were looking good

But she used to ship girls in

For your man on that hidden shore

And he's got a baby out there

You don't know what your prayers paid for yeah

Karma wrote the ending

I don't have to say one word more

I didn't snitch

Didn't have to light the fuse

I just stepped back slow

Let the truth choose you

Now every laugh you faked at me

Echoes in your empty bed

You chased my life my light

Now you're facing what you fed

Karma wrote the ending

Better than I ever could

You bet against my peace

Now it's rewriting your whole hood

She used to ship girls in

For your man on that hidden shore

And he's got a baby out there

You don't know what your prayers paid for yeah

Karma wrote the ending

And I don't have to hurt you anymore
