These shades can hide
The teardrops cryin'.
But not the way,
I feel inside.
These shades can only
Due the part,Oh yeah.
But these shades can't hide
The broken heart.
These shades can hide
My red,red eyes.
But not the hurt left
By your lies.
These shades can only
Due the part,Oh yeah.
But these shades can't hide
The broken heart.
Dark shades I'll
Keep on wearin',As long.
I'm still on carin'
For you and i still in love.
So,Oh why did you go now!
These shades can hide
My eyes away.
But not the pain,
I feel each day!
These shades can only
Due the part,Oh yeah.
But these shades can't hide
The broken heart.
But these shades can't hide
The broken heart.
But these shades can't hide
The broken heart.
You gave me a present
The paper was blue and green
I unwrapped it with pleasure
These are the best shades I've ever seen
You can be my girlfriend
Forever and a day
I never thought I was worth much
Or that anyone would treat me this way
I'm not
The kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you
It makes me come in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades
I could have had a problem
I might have never followed through
The other guys are in trouble
They wouldn't listen to a girl like you
These shades say something
I'll bet they cost a lot
I hope I don't break 'em
[Chorus:]
I wear my shades when the sun ain't shining
The sun ain't shining
In them louie designers draped in diamonds
Blowing the finest
New york city party till sun rising
Till sun rising
It's 1 in the morning and them bottles is poppin
Big shit popping
[Verse 1:]
Share champagne, glasses collide
A pack of pretty girls fat asses collide
I'm in the a, met a c.p.a
She an independent woman no time to play
Got the rozay, horse carriage in the park
But ma never stoke you cause a pimp play his part
She in that sequence boostiea
In them bleached out j-prints her ass look fake
Flexible like rose acosta
A hard body shipped out I'l hold a toaster
A move them like my name was sosa
So them dimes and them 20's wanna give me that chocha
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Those ain't rolex diamonds what the fuck you done to that
Perfection in queens throw about 10 stacks
I toast the mortgage money rozay spillin on me
Michael jackson playin, p.y.t's is feelin on
Pretty young thing, I was wondering
If we could fly through a cloud towards london
Fridays like a thanksgiving feast
And saturday feel like a warm christmas eve
Cause it's nuttin but trees lit up, my neck v'd up
V12 model bitch, to suck my seed up
I kick my feet up on the sun seeker
Bad meter, blunt and a sangria
[Chorus]
Heeeeyy, hoooooooe [x5]
[Verse 1:]
Chip on my shoulda
Big enough to feed Cambodia
See I never fit into they quotas
Sneakers wasn't fittin' and my knees needed lotion
Long before I knew the significance of a comb
I roam like foam with no vocal reception
Immigrant parents had me feeling like a step-kid
And black Americans never did accept me
That's why I thrive so much winnin' respect, dig
I never fit in with them light skins
I thought the lighter they was, the better that they life is
So I resented them and they resented me
Cheated on light skin Dominique, we were 17
I figure I hurt her she'd evidently hurt me
And all women who have light features see
I never let a light broad hurt me
That's why I strike first and the first cut's deep
[Chorus: Chrissette Michele]
From a light skin girl to a dark skin brotha
Shade doesn't matter, heart makes the lover
Boy you so beautiful
Boy you so beautiful
Shade doesn't matter, heart makes the lover
Honey brown, caramel, coffee brown, chocolate, toffee, pecan, licorice
Boy you so beautiful
[Verse 2:]
Just another knotty head nigga
Hoping Wes Snipes make my life a bit different
In middle school I had the right to be timid
I had beautiful words but girls never listened
Listen, blacker the berry, sweeter the product
Well I'm fruit punch concentrate and they water
Walk into my room thinking how to make moves
Ain't thinking like a student, but how Ice-T do it
Light dudes had the girls looking there
Aw yea it's not fair
The ones with the good hurr
Couldn't adapt to naps I wore caps
They napped and slept on me
Man I hate black, skin tone
I wish I could take it back or rearrange my status
Maybe if I was khaki
Associating light skin with classy
The minstrel show, showed a me that was not me
[Chorus: Chrissette Michele]
From a light skin girl to a dark skin brotha
Shade doesn't matter, heart makes the lover
Boy you so beautiful
Boy you so beautiful
Shade doesn't matter, heart makes the lover
Honey brown, caramel, coffee brown, chocolate, toffee, pecan, licorice
Boy you so beautiful
They say black is beautiful
But ask them beautiful light girls if it's black they attract to usually
What if Barack's skin was all black?
Truthfully would he be a candidate or just a black in community?
We as black dudes tend to lack unity
And them blacker girls ain't on the tube usually
Right now at 23 I ain't mad at them reds no more
But for long time I had gone cold blind
Full of my own insecurity
It was holding me
Back to reds, I ain't know how to act
They would get the cold shoulder
And know it was an act, a defense mechanism
What I thought that I lacked (confidence)
[Chorus: Chrissette Michele]
From a light skin girl to a dark skin brotha
Shade doesn't matter, heart makes the lover
Boy you so beautiful
Boy you so beautiful
Shade doesn't matter, heart makes the lover
Honey brown, caramel, coffee brown, chocolate, toffee, pecan, licorice
They're all mad 'cause they can't penetrate the tint on
my shades, they can't tell which way i'm looking don't
be mad at me, you should get like me, you'd see things
differently, from behind these wire cells are fly as
hell can't tell me nothing.

SHADES
(Lee Hazlewood)
'66 Criterion Music
These shades can hide the teardrops crying
But not the way I feel inside
These shades can only do their part oh yeah
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
These shades can hide my red red eyes
But not the hurt left by your lies
These shades can only do their part oh yeah
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
Dark shades I'll keep on wearin' as long as I'm still caryin'
For you and I still love you so oh why did you go now
These shades can hide my eyes away
But not the pain I feel each day
These shades can only do their part oh yeah
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
These shades can't hide a broken heart
Come closer, come closer,
Look into these sable blues.
Light clover, light clover,
Turn the leaves, it's only me.
Uncanny, uncanny,
Push the blade into the shades.
Unmoving, unmoving,
Bare to see, it's only me.
And with open eyes,
Hear the greenhorn cry.
You're killing me.
You're killing me, slowly,
Shoving me with words.
Put the finger where it hurts,
--------
Through the soft shades of Summer fused together
by the strange seasons of the City
The stationary is stained with all my failings
The bedlays new cold and empty as a casket
Your body left it's shape upon the sheets and
little else
[Music:Smirnoff,Magnani - Melody:Luppi - Lyrics:Magnani]
Ugly grim grey skies
Found a mirror with my eyes
Flowing deep inside my veins
Questions and answers
Running round and round too fast
Sliding down to my chest
Images melt in my mind
With my memories I left back
Present and future all together with past
Your holy touch ain't protecting me
Under the sand of all my tears
All that is left is a bunch of meaningless words
Shades of me and you here and then
Flying upon my daemons
Reaching for visions of the path we walk through
Shades of grey turning red
My life has run much too fast
Our flight has ended here, together we're falling again
So many traces
Of the man that I have been
Where are my golden years?
You're trying to lead me
To a point of no return
Visions melt with my memories
A breeze on my skin is drawing
Lines with the tears along my face
Scares of a crying conscience, blaming at me
Maybe I've lost my sanity
I was, I will be or I am
Whatever it is I won't be the same, that's for sure
Shades of me and you here and then
Flying upon my daemons
Reaching for visions of the path we walk through
Shades of grey turning red
My life has run much too fast
Our flight has ended here, together we're falling again
Shades of me and you here and then
Flying upon my daemons
Reaching for visions of the path we walk through
Shades of grey turning red
My life has run much too fast
Our flight has ended here
hello sunshine!
you are always brighting up my life oh!
and that's why i open up my eyes!
maybe one day, we'll be together you and i, oh!
and maybe i will join you in the sky.
chorus:
up in the sky
and the pain washes away,
oh! since my sunshine eiiii,
everything is changeless
gluing so
goodbye, bed time
i've got no reason to cry!
you wanna know why?
cause i'm also satisfied.
and maybe one day you'll find someone
who'll love your fame, oh, oh
in time, join me in my sky, oh!
chorus:
up in the sky
and the pain washes away,
oh! since my sunshine eiiii,
everything is changeless
gluing so
hello sunshine!
hello sunshine!
hello sunshine!
love, glow, we're so,
turn the lights on!
chorus:
up in the sky
and the pain washes away,
oh! since my sunshine eiiii,
everything is changeless
...Thinking of the smell that flows of your mouth
or in the light, that shines in your eyes
I shall suffer I'll fly through the waves any place where the body shakes
Where the body is flesh when your eyes are grace are you insensible
or am I insatiable?
Your sins are seeds of my tears that make me rise.
in every sky in every hell is your smile.
Where the body is flesh when your eyes are grace are you insensible
or am I insatiable?
And it's when the horizon is green and pale or when the tiny snow
is reek their faces.
Please let me shine with your sweaty smile please darken my heart
with your knowledge wise.
Until the finals
until the gate
bless me with your right hand
here is my head.
Until the finals
until fate
take with your right hand
my wrinkled face.
In front
to fly
through space
I'm flying slowly.
I must stay reserved
and follow your trace,
fire is not burning
fog is not blinding me.
Please let me shine
with your sweaty smile
please darken my heart
with your knowledge wise.
Your sins are seeds
of my tears
that make me rise,
In every sky
in every hell
is your smile.
We're, if at all slaves to a pawn caught in a cautious lie, if at all, staggering weightless haggard stained cynical it all tastes sweet
Leave me to sway here if at all listing ageless wait, wait and see
Come here to rest and then cosset the crows who murder the raven and those who cast the losing die
Leave me to sway here if at all listing ageless
Wait
Trace these suicide shades uncovered through this pious lullaby praise to suffer while we brace ourselves shaking hands on the alter
See these paths to there end through the pulse of hate
And now walking along the earth
It always turns inward
To let their souls writhe
Silting softly it is wanting
Hate
Trace these suicide shades uncovered through this pious lullaby pray and suffer
Erase (erase...)
(HIDDEN TRACK) [I took a stab at this. So I think I made up some words to make it sound right. No clue.]
Deep, dark shadows where everyone lies
There's a circus working debutant conducting his spies
And as he turned he went into(?) a cheshire(?) grin and now everyone dies
In his deep, dark shadows where everyone lies
Shades...
Now he stands in the center with his cheshire grin
Peeling off offsimating(?) memories attacthed to their skin
But it's over soon, now red balloons keep us amputee's in
In his deep, dark circus where nobody wins
Shades...
[Lil Wayne]
Uh, before you get here,
Put yo panties in yo pocketbook
That’s what I told her, over the Motorola
Hennessy and Cola
I hold her, at attention with my mannors
And even though I don’t roll a camera
She still performs
Like the superstar, she truly are
So, also I think I love her already
Damn, I think I…already
She must be the one
I look in her eyes and see the sun
Even on rainy days, aint it
Crazy mayne, yeah, that’s what I said
She do doughnuts in my head
Over and over, and over
Til the cops pull her over
And then she say some real slick shit like
“I’m on my way from Weezy Baby”
And of course they let her go
[Justin Timberlake]
I know I got a lot of baggage
Its for the ladies and mercedes
And I know that it’s heavy
But I pray that someone will grab it for me
I know I got a lot of baggage
Full of Chanel’s and Tiffany’s and broken hearts girl
You need me baby its hard to break a habit
For me yeah
[Diddy]
And girl if you want
I pour a gallon of gasoline on my heart
Just to light your cigarette
Girl if you want
(I’ll do anything for you)
I’ll do anything for you
(I’ll even take off my shades)
I’ll even take off my shades
And stare right at the sun from the stage
(I’ll even try different things)
I’ll even try different things
I’ll make love to you on marmalade
(never made love on marmalade)
I’ll even change my name, name
What you say
(I’ll be what ever you say)
I’ll be what ever you say
I’ll even try different things
I’ll make love to you on marmalade
(Are you sure thats what you want to do)
If thats what you want to do
[Chorus]
What you gonna do
What you gonna do
When I’m perfect for you
Girl watch how its gon drive you crazy
And love’s gon turn you up baby
Girl watch how its gon drive you crazy
(repeated)
[Diddy]
Got a lot of baggage its full of shades
Different shades
And I’m sharp as a razor thats why I have to brand it
You talking bout me (you talking bout me)
Listen to me
I know I got a lot of baggage
Its full of promises that why I keep a lock on it
I promise girl I’m trying to make it happen for me
And you babe
Now girl if you wanna pour a gallon of gasoline on my heart
And light it if you get lonely
If you call me
Girl if you call me
If you want me I’m ready when you are just tell me you want me
[Chorus]

When I’m perfect for you
Girl watch how its gon drive you crazy
And love’s gon turn you up baby
Girl watch how its gon drive you crazy
(repeated)
[Justin Timberlake]
Black grey white
If I pull down these shades would I sound too bright
Get it, sound too right
Maybe I’m just feeling myself because
“flashing lights come from everywhere”
And you can feel that somethings blowing in the air tonight
Now if you need that fire I’ll be that propane
If you need it wet I’ll make it pour rain
But maybe I wont
Maybe you just have to take it
Go ahead pretend I’m a drug
Now let me see you shake it
I can read your mind, read your mind, Professor X
We can press rewind, press rewind, VHS
Speaking of the past, its so futuristic behind ya
Let me fill up your plate and dish it out, dish it out, China
I’mma bend yo body, bend yo body, Magneto
Let me have my way, I’mma have my way, Carlito
Now we can put in work, let me get my busy on for you
You aint never heard you talk like this
I see you out at every bar now baby
No matter where I go
You're getting your drinks for free
And just talkin' with those rich folks you know
You did the bouncers and all of their friends now baby
Bartenders too
So when they find out that you're only 19
There won't be anything they can do
But I don't come 'round here to meet nice people anyway
And what the hell am I doing drunk in the middle of the day
And I can feel the departure of all my hard earned pay
But with the shades drawn everything just dirfts away
And with the shades drawn everything just dirfts away
But I'm sure that I will see you 'round town now baby
'Cause this town's way too small
I'm sure that I'll run into you smokin' and leaning on that bathroom wall
And here's hopin' that tonight maybe you will drag some gorilla on home
So for about an hour or two you won't have to fell like you're all alone
But I don't come 'round here to meet nice people anyway
And what the hell am I doing drunk in the middle of the day
And I can feel the departure of all my hard-earned pay
But with the shades drawn everything just dirfts away
And with the shades drawn everything just dirfts away
Yeah, come on, Motown
Girls, help me sing it

So that you'll know for sure that you're the apple of my eye girl
Fulfillment of my dreams, time, will show the value
Of just what you mean to me
More precious than silver, more precious than diamond rings
Or anything that I can give you, it wouldn't mean a thing
If you didn't have my love beside you there to guide you through
But it is good to know you do
I know just how you feel
But this time love's for real
In time it will reveal
That special love that's deep inside of us will all reveal in time
I tell you I love you but you won't believe it's true
More precious than silver, more precious than diamond rings
Or anything that I can give you, it wouldn't mean a thing

Last night you didn't call me
I tossed and turned
I called you all night
I was concerned
I prayed in my bed
You was all right
I cried and I cried
I stayed up all night
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold
Why'd you leave me, all alone
Why'd you leave me leave me leave me
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold
Why'd you leave me, all alone
Why'd you leave me leave me leave me
These days are hard times
For me
Cause I really miss you
I'm unhappy
Why won't you call me?
Where is your love now?
I can't forget
You're all I think of
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold
Why'd you leave me, all alone
Why'd you leave me leave me leave me
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold
Why'd you leave me, all alone
Why'd you leave me leave me leave me
I know you're down, tell me what I've done (ohhhhh)
Take the blame won't give you up (ahhhh)
Be with you just one more time (ooooooooo)
Time to make up my mind (yeah)
I know you're down tell me what I've done (ohhhhhh)
Take the blame won't give you up (ahhh)
Be with you just one more time (ohhhhh)
Time to make up my mind (yeah yeah)

No sun up in the sky since you've been gone
Rainy days seem to cloud my life
Since we said good-bye, my heart don't know why
Love never dies
It's unselfish and kind
Not jealous or blind
My love, my love
Days have turned to nights and nights to days
I pray to God you know my loves the same
If love has truly passed us by
It was only meant for a little while
And now I can't deny, love don't lie
Ooooh, oooohh, oooohh
So hard to let a good love die baby
Yes it is
If our love dies
You know I cry
Please make it last, 'til the end of time, end of time
Oh yeah baby
Ohhh, hoooo hoooo
Love never dies
It's unselfish and kind
Not jealous or blind
My love, my love
Love never dies
It's unselfish and kind
Not jealous or blind
We don't have to rush it baby
Lets slow it down
We got plenty of time to fool around
If you really love me baby
Then you will wait
There are plenty of girls that won't hesitate
1 - I'm not trying to dis
Its just how I feel
'cause I want what we have to be so real
My mother always told me that true love will last
Don't you know that one night stands are a thing of the past

Can't you see that sex ain't nothin if you don't love me
I believe that love should mean more than sex
Can't you see that sex ain't nothin if you don't love me
Lately I noticed that your shying away
Is it 'cause I haven't given you anything
I'm not trying to tease you
But I have to hold back
I can't give you my all and get nothing back
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
Repeat 2
I believe that love means everything to me

It's the falling in love
That's making me feel
It's the being in love
That makes the sex more real

It's the being in love
That makes the sex more real

I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I want to feel you in my arms again
And you comes to me
On a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your arms than you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love? Is your love
How deep is your love? I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You are the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest
Darkest night
You're my savior when I the fall
You may not think I care for you
When you know inside I really do
And it's me you need to show

Verse 1:
Sometimes this world can be cold
When you're on your own it's a struggle everyday
Just to be a woman with dignity
So we've got to find a way so all the world can see
That we deserve equality
And one day it can be if there's faith
Inside yourself and me

We can conquer almost anything
Show the world we can be anything
So the hopes and dreams of yesterday
And wishes that you make today come true
Eventually they do
If we can make it through
And find that strength in you
Eventually is you

True times they may be hard
But not to hard to take

And I'm bustin out the best moves so far
Feel the air from the speakers
So, So fresh from my head to my sneakers
Turn the beat up on the radio

Got me caught on ice

Feels like I’m heading
Somewhere I don’t really want to go
Feels like all is said and done
Feels like a million into one
Wish you were here now
I could touch your skin so pale
Lay down beside me now
You could pretend that you still care
Feels like all is said and done
Feels like a million into one, you say
The odds might change tomorrow
We’d be cursed if we didn’t try
While me heart feels more like crying
I’m standing strong and thinking of
Reasons why I’m right
Like a real easy rider
Nothing bothers me tonight
Like the fly and the spider
You wrapped yourself around too tight
Feels like all is said and done
Feels like a million into one, you say
The odds might change tomorrow
We’d be cursed if we didn’t try
While my heart feels more like crying
I’m standing strong and thinking of
Reasons why I’m right
Feels like all is said and done
Feels like a million into one, you say
The odds might change tomorrow
We’d be cursed if we didn’t try
While my heart feels more like crying
I’m standing strong
The odds might change tomorrow
We’d be cursed if we didn’t try
While my heart feels more like crying
I’m standing strong and thinking of
