[Title: Shift / Décalage]

[Intro: Piano Loop, Vinyl Crackle, City Ambience]

Yeah... look at this place.

C'est fou, non? 
(Voice 1)
Everything looks different through the glass.
(Voice 2)
Ouais, le temps passe vite.

[Verse 1: Voice 1 - English]
Walking down the ave, but the names don't match
New locks on the doors, gotta fumble with the latch
Corner store is gone, replaced by a brew
Where we used to buy chips, now they selling the view
Concrete settles but the people gotta move
Losing the rhythm, forgetting the groove
See the shadows stretching long on the bricks
Politics and mortar, a dirty mix
Not a tear, just a cold wind blowing through
Old ghosts painting the skyline blue

[Chorus: Duet - Anthem Style]

WORLD KEEPS SPINNING / LE MONDE TOURNE 
WE LOSING OUR WINNING / ON PERD TOUT 
Time don't wait for no man's plan
Catch the sand slipping right through the hand
CHANGE IS THE ONLY THING THAT'S REAL / C'EST RÉEL 
Tell me how you feel / Dis-moi

[Instrumental Solo: Jazz Piano & Scratches]

[Verse 2: Rap Feature - Voice 2 - French/English Blend]

Yo, regarde le ciel , the sky looking heavy
Got the weight on my back, engine running heavy
Ils ont pris le quartier , they took the whole spot
Turned the melting pot into a private lot
My vision is gritty, no filter on the lens
Counting dead presidents instead of making friends
Le froid in the bones, ice in the veins
Trying to break the cycle, trying to cut the chains
Je marche seul , walking alone
King of the castle, but I got no throne

[Style Shift: Soulful Breakdown]

[Bridge: Call and Response]
(Voice 1)
Slow it down...
(Voice 2)
Ralentis ...
(Voice 1)
Just breathe in the smoke.
(Voice 2)
Oublie tout , forget what we broke.
(Voice 1)
New coat of paint on a rotting wall.
(Voice 2)
On attend la chute , waiting for the fall.

[Chorus: Duet - High Energy]

CHANGE IS THE ONLY THING THAT'S REAL
C'EST RÉEL 
TIME DON'T WAIT
ON PERD TOUT 
WORLD KEEPS SPINNING / LE MONDE TOURNE

[Outro: Spoken Dialogue]

(Voice 1)
Still the same block though.
(Voice 2)
Peut-être. 
(Voice 1)
Maybe in the ground.
(Voice 2)
Allez, on y va.
