If you ask me what's on my mind You probably wont 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 tryna figure me out But you can't see past my shades Past my shades Past my shades CHROUS (X3) And you can't see past my shades Past my shades Past my shades VERSE ONE Well ask me a question I tell you no lies Cause there's nothing to hide, my souls 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 and see a disguise But there is nothing 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 shades CHROUS (X3) And you can't see past my shades Past my shades Past my shades VERSE TWO (Lupe) Who else but Lu 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 sayin' what I'm seein' through is false like Ross I can hear'em through the wall like walk This way you try'n to dissuade my thoughts I'm slave to myself and disobey my boss It's all in disarray this parade I walk They get amazed when they catch the 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 [weigh] But now I'm back looking for the shade I sought And not wonders, Scott Summers So don't make me take off my stunnas Bobby Ray you know you my numbas And them deer can't see us like huntas (aye) CHROUS (X2) And you can't see past my shades Past my shades Past my shades BRIDGE Yea, (Bring it down) La, la la la, la laaa (laa) Oh yea La, la la la, la laaa (laa) You can't see past my shades La, la la la, la laaa (laa) You can't see past my shades La, la la la, la laaa (laa) CHORUS (X2) VERSE THREE Well the objective of my suggestive method Is to open you up and then your head I will mess with So I am obsessed with music and I am restless Just to wake you up like a nesquick beverage And of you get my drift then the flow you will step with No matter what I say know you feel the direction I knew why I came since I was concepted I mean conceived _________________ CHROUS (X2) And you can't see past my shades Past my shades Past my shades
