Shades

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't got no time
There's too much that's on my mind
Whole team on my back
Told my family I'll be fine
Hype's been hypnotizing
Pray to God I don't go blind
Lights are mesmerizing
Don't get lost within the shine

[Chorus]
Better keep your, your shades on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your blinders on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your shades on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your blinders on
Better keep your, better keep your

[Verse 1]
Keep your talking in check
I walked my walk 'til I walked on the jet
Headed to Europe, the come up was set
The team reign supreme, work too hard not to flex
I make these hits, then I'm onto the next
Tryna roll like them, now I roll with the best
Down to cut ties, unless you wanna cut checks
I ain't got enough time to entertain your mess
Working, working, working, I deserve it
Back in 2011 I was cutting verses
Saw me as an artist, they just saw the person
Now I blur the lines like I write incursive
(Ya see what I did there? Yeah, like, in cursive?)
See the youngin's coming up wanna life like mine
Last year two jobs, I wrote rhymes all night
If you down to do the work like that you're fine
But you ain't really that, you ain't really 'bout it
Waiting on your come up ain't the way about it
No if/ands about it, no excuses made
I came out the town, got no time of day
Now I'm on my way, these days I get paid
Never sacrificed who I am away
Navigated oceans for the poets
While they tryna ride the wave I put in motion (tell 'em)

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't got no time
There's too much that's on my mind
Whole team on my back
Told my family I'll be fine
Hype's been hypnotizing
Pray to God I don't go blind
Lights are mesmerizing
Don't get lost within the shine

[Chorus]
Better keep your, your shades on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your blinders on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your shades on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your blinders on
Better keep your, better keep your

[Verse 2]
What if Russ gave a nod to Swagy?
What if Tesla called out Edison?
What if it don't matter what I think?
All that matters' what I represent
But I go and get mine
I put it all on the line
This is for all of the times
They never thought I would shine
Put on your shades (why?)
Without 'em you're blind
I got balance problems, I can't leave my work
Either working or I'm working on my work
My girl know I'm stressed, I could use a breath
But she know that I work better when I'm pressed
Do the numbers, but I'm unimpressed
Never happy, I need bigger steps
I need longer flights, I need zero rest
I need ones and zeros like the Matrix in my checks
Gauntlet on my neck, Thanos with the flex
Marvel at the level that the team has set
We ain't finished yet, far from at the top
We ain't slowing down, came too far to stop
Neverland views over 80 mill, facts
Can't say shit to me know I'm good, flex
Still the same kid with a head full of dreams
Still woke, but I'm doing what they never could, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't got no time
There's too much that's on my mind
Whole team on my back
Told my family I'll be fine
Hype's been hypnotizing
Pray to God I don't go blind
Lights are mesmerizing
Don't get lost within the shine

[Chorus]
Better keep your, your shades on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your blinders on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your shades on
Better keep your, better keep your
Your blinders on
Better keep your, better keep your
