Past My Shades (feat. Lupe Fiasco) Lyrics

If you asked 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 tryin' to figure me outBut you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shadesAnd you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shadesWell, 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 bathroomPeople look and try to see a disguise
But there is nothing that nobody can't see in line
If it's a song with a rhyme or a verse with a line
Then you wanna stay in my mindBut you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shades

And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shadesAnd you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shadesUh, who else but [incomprehensible]
You know I got two belts, the black and the white one
I begin and I master, I see in my eye glassesBut they sayin' what I'm seeing through is false like Ross
I can hear him through the wall like walk
This way they tryin' to dissuade my thoughts
I'm a slave to myself and disobey my bossIt's all in disarray this parade I walk
They get amazed when they catch a chain I toss
Amidst disarray a different way as I talk
And it hangs from your brain if my chain you caughtLike 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 sawAnd not wonders, the sky summers
So don't make me take off my stunners
Bobby Ray you know you got my numbers
And them there can't see us like huntersBut you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shadesAnd you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shadesLa, la, la, la, la, la
(Oh, yeah)
La, la, la, la, la
(You can't see past my shades)
La, la, la, la, la
(You can't see past my shades)
La, la, la, la, laBut you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shadesAnd you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades, past my shadesAnd you can't see past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
