Carter, Carter

Intro

Ayy, yuh, turn me up — turn him down (ha)

Carter, Carter, let's go (skrrt)

Verse

Carter walks in with a cardboard crown, yeah, paper throne (paper)

Talkin' big game but the Wi‑Fi cut when it's time to own (uh)

You the starter pistol with no race, you just make noise (make noise)

Call you full of drafts and typos, all your flexes got a void (ayy)

Borrowed fits, borrowed clout, recycle that same pose

Same jokes, same lines, reruns on your low shows (low shows)

You hype a borrowed Rolex, forgets to wind it — stops the beat

Smile for the camera, cut the light when the rent is due — delete

You front like a charter, sailin' on a paper map (map)

When the storm come, you the first to bail and scrap the cap (scrap)

Got receipts of small talk, big mouth, no receipts (nah)

Call you a disappointment mixtape — all the skips, no feats (skrrt)

You play king on a Monopoly tile, buyin' fake respect

But when the deed is due you ghost like bad connect (bye)

You a practice round in someone else's highlight reel

I see through the wrap — cheap glue, flimsy seal (peel)

You clap at the echo of your likes, applause in empty rooms

I bring the real bass, you just clap to keep the tune

Chorus

Carter, Carter, paper crown, fallin' apart (fallin' apart)

Carter, Carter, all bark, no bite, all heart (all heart)

Carter, Carter, frontin' loud but you never start (you never start)

Carter, Carter, watch me light the spark — oh-oh (light it up)

Carter, Carter, paper crown, fallin' apart (fallin' apart)

Carter, Carter, all bark, no bite, all heart (all heart)

Carter, Carter, frontin' loud but you never start (you never start)

Carter, Carter, watch me light the spark — oh-oh (watch it)

Verse

Remember when you said you'd show up? I set a clock — you skipped

Said you'd change the vibe, then changed your name and flipped the script (flip)

You tradein' friends for followers, so you bankrupt of real ties

Profile glow, offline low, all the substance wears thin lies

You copy every move, mimic the groove, audition for the crowd

But when the lights go down, you a whisper in a shroud (shh)

You jealous of the quiet — 'cause you can't sit still with truth

Tryna rap but you short on lines, buyin' bars like Ruth

You the cameo in your own story, blink and miss the scene

I'm the director, rewrite your lines, fade your magazine

You sellin' what you call trust — marked down, half off

I buy none of that clearance, price tag shows you soft

Your comebacks lookin' borrowed, patched up like thrift-store jeans

I bring the tailor-made, you bring the pre-worn means

Talk big about loyalty but fold at the first test

I been steady at the table while you just ate the rest (uh-huh)

So sit down, Carter, savin' face don't buy respect

When the verdict hits, your alibi ain't worth a check

Bridge

Call me when you learn to mean what you say (mean what you say)

Call me when your shadow finally fi
