Past My Shades (feat. Lupe Fiasco)

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 try to figure me out But 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 shades And 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 shades 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 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 mind But 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 shades And 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 shades Uh, 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 glasses But 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 boss It'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 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 saw And 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 hunters But 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 shades And 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 shades La, 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, la But 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 shades And 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 shades And you can't see past my shades And you can't see past my shades
