THE SHADE Lyrics by Skip Dover

L.T.D. (EP)

2022

Yo

Yellow diamonds shine bright, Corona Light, I'm looking extra
You’re scared of a challenge, I'm never shook from pressure
Press the button, I'mma press who pressed it
Pressed for time, but time don’t . . . never mind, pardon the ledger lines
They sculpt statues, statement's cemented
'Cause every single thing I said I meant it
Protect investments, before you're half dead, lamenting
When the Sun dies, it won't rise again, you can't resurrect it

Rather off-putting, the shit I was putting off
Getting high, thinking I wouldn't fall
Doing shit that if I said it out loud, my mother would look appalled
Reminds me when I was three in Gymboree, they took my ball
To think I ever thought of just forfeiting
I'm out in Portugal snorkeling
Hit the cruise ship in boat shoes or sandals
Don’t get it twisted, still twist your bitch and put whole crews on mantles
Everything they said I can’t do, I said "I can too"
I painted my thoughts, it's crazy how they can control you like vandals
I don’t play by no rules, I'm cancelled
That new shit getting old, old news is past due
The other grass might be greener, but still your grass grew
Grew into a king, gruesome the way you think
Wide eyed in a gaze, bright life only survives in the rays
I planted the seeds, I'mma die in the shade
I said, I planted the seeds, I'mma die in the shade

You’ve got to put that work in, man
Get off your ass
I don't wanna hear it, man, I don't wanna hear no victim shit
Turn victims to victims, man

Ha
