If you ask me what's on my mind, you probably won't believe it Cause if life was one big pool, I'd be in the deep end So I play my role, and never ever speak it, like a secret And all the while, you just trying to figure me out But you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, pass my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade Well ask me a question, I tell you no lies Cause there's nothing to hide, my soul's in my eyes And I'm ahead of my time but I cannot rewind The only thing I fear is the mirror in my bathroom People look and try to see a disguise But there is nothing that nobody can't see in light If it's a song with a rhyme or a verse with a line Then you understand my mind But you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade Uh, who else but who else You know I got two belts, the black and the white one I begin and I master, I see in my eyeglasses But they saying what I'm seeing through is false like Rouse I can hear him through the wall like walk this way Trying to dissuade my thoughts, I'm a slave to myself and disobey my boss It's all in disarray, this parade I evolve They get amazed when they catch a chain I toss Amidst disarray of different ways I talk And it hangs from your brain if my chain you caught Like I cough without covering my mouth I tip the scales like the king of the south Forgot that I was fat, I lost my way But now I'm back looking for the shade I sought And not wonders, it's got summers So don't make me take off my stunners Bobby Raya, no, you got my numbers And them deer can't see us like hunts at A But you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade Yeah, break it down La, la, la, la, la, la, la Oh yeah La, la, la, la, la, la, la You can't see past my shade La, la, la, la, la, la, la You can't see past my shade La, la, la, la, la, la, la And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade, past my shade, past my shade And you can't see past my shade You can't see past my shade
