Black Shades Lyrics by Surface

2nd Wave

0

Hey, B, are we practicing today, man?
I don't know, sir, didn’t you talk to Townie, sir?
I talked to him, man, but he's, he's still asleep
Yeah, well
Can I cover your, uh, your sunglasses today, man?
And you know, you know better than that
You gonna wear the brown ones but I gotta wear the black ones, so
Come on, man, the black, black ones or the hat all at once, man
Well, what do you know? Well, you gotta get your own
Well, Townie has got something, I mean, let’s give him another
Why are you-Why are you bothering me, man? I mean, wait for me, man
Let's, let's give him another call, man, give him a call. Yeah
Well, you don't have no shades

I'm the kind of guy who likes to drive a fancy car, mm-hmm
Take you out, baby, and treat you like a movie star
But the girl's saying "something about you is crazed"
'Cause they can't see what’s in my eyes
Gotta know, are they grey or brown?
Does that mean that I’m not really down?

'Cause I wear my black shades, just to hang up
They keep me cool all of the time
I wear my black shades just to hang up
They keep me cool all of a time

I got exotic taste and I like expensive things, oh yeah
I live all alone, I wish my telephone would ring
But the girl’s saying "something about you is crazed"
'Cause they can't see what's in my eyes
Gotta know, are they blue or green?
What difference does it make? What does it mean?

I wear my black shades just to hang up
They keep me cool all of a time
I wear my black shades, just you really love
They keep me cool all of the time
(Tell me with my black shades on)

I wear my black shades
Surface, hit me one time, two times, three times, four! Huh!

[Rap] Don’t judge me by the things that you might see
Just take a little time to get into me
You'll be amazed by the things that you might find
When they're playing raps, it might change your mind
Don't judge me by what you see, take some time, get into me

Ooh

Black shades, cool shades

I wear my black shades just to hang up
They keep me cool all of a time
I wear my black shades just to hang up
They keep me cool (cool)
Are all the ruby eyes behind my black shades, baby, all of the time?
Are all the ruby, brown or blue you want to know?
Ooh
I wear my black shades just to hang up
They keep me cool all of a time
I wear my black shades, just to hang up
They keep me cool, cool (cool) they keep me cool
(Black shades, just to hang up)
Are there eyes behind my black shades, my baby?
(Cool) All the time (black shades, just to hang up)
Are there ruby eyes behind my black shades
(Cool) Baby, you want to know, yes you do
(Black shades, just to hang up) Yes you do
(Cool) You wanna know why I wear my black shades?
