[Intro]
In the shadows where we dance tonight
Every move calculated, yeah, I know what's right
[Verse 1]
Mami, you think you got me figured out
But I'm ten steps ahead without a doubt
Playing chess while you're playing cards
Reading signals in the dark, yeah
Smooth operator in designer brands
Got you right where I want you, understand?
[Chorus]
Shadow protocol, baby let's roll
Keep it cool while we lose control
No te enamores, it's just a show
Shadow protocol, that's how we flow
(Eh eh, dale)
[Verse 2]
Every touch is strategic, every kiss a plan
Got you thinking I'm romantic, but I'm a business man
Tu belleza es mi debilidad, apparently
But I'm scanning every move, carefully
Playing with emotions like a video game
When you call my name, baby, it's not the same
[Pre-Chorus]
One step forward, two steps back
Keeping distance while I'm on the attack
(Dale, dale)
[Chorus]
Shadow protocol, baby let's roll
Keep it cool while we lose control
No te enamores, it's just a show
Shadow protocol, that's how we flow
[Bridge]
In this synthetic paradise
Every move is cold as ice
Baila conmigo, feel the heat
While I keep my game discrete
[Outro]
Shadow protocol
That's how we roll
No feelings involved
That's how the story goes
(Dale)
