Lyrics Past My Shades - Lupe Fiasco , B.o.B

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
