Shade Lyrics by Chelsia

BLK EP

1994

I know I’m a handful
But least ya got ya hands full
Of something worth having
Worth keeping
But you don’t even see it
& I’m not gonna make you
Decisions, decisions
So what’s it gonna be boo

Cause I ain’t got time
To let you do what you do
While I’m here being the best that I can to you
No baby I ain’t got time
You got so much to say around your friends
But with me it’s okay


Don’t throw shade
Like what we had wasn’t good enough
Pump your breaks
You told me that I was good enough
And I can’t wait till
Till they see what I’m talkin’ bout
All in the streets runnin’ yo mouth
The shade is real but it wasn’t yesterday

What happened yesterday
When you was in my face
Told me you couldn’t wait


Tick tock
Still lookin’ at the clock
Cause you be in them streets
Supposed to be with me

You think you running game
But I can do the same
And when I throw it back
I don’t wanna hear a thing cause

I ain’t got time
To let you do what you do
While I’m here being the best that I can to you
No I ain’t got time
You got so much to say around your friends
But with me it’s okay

Baby don’t throw shade
Like what we had wasn’t good enough
Pump your breaks
You told me that I was good enough
And I can’t wait
Till they see what I’m talkin’ bout
All in the streets runnin’ yo mouth
The shade is real but it wasn’t yesterday

What happened yesterday
When you was in my face
Told me you couldn’t wait

You do you
Baby its cool
And I'll do me
And then you'll see

That you had something
While you were fronting
All that you had
Just turned to nothing

You do you
Baby its cool
And I'll do me
And then you'll see

That you had something
While you were fronting
All that you had
Looking back
Know you gone miss that


Baby don’t throw shade
Like what we had wasn’t good enough
Pump your breaks
You told me that I was good enough
& I can’t wait
Till they see what I’m talkin bout
All in the streets runnin yo mouth
The shade is real but it wasn’t yesterday

What happened yesterday
When you was in my face
Told me you couldn’t wait
Yeah, yeah yeah

Baby don’t throw shade
Like what we had wasn’t good enough
Pump your breaks
You told me that I was good enough
& I can’t wait
Till they see what I’m talkin bout
All in the streets runnin yo mouth
The shade is real but it wasn’t yesterday
