Lyrics

Shades

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

On Lundi Gras night, that's the night before Carnival

All the Indians get together in this little boardroom

And they get they little stuff, you understand?

Like that

And they go

Like that

And uh

And photos that go uh

You know and oh, you understand?

It just make 'em feel good

And they get that

And they pitch a bitch

I don't mean a ball

I see a bitch

All night, all through the night, don't care

See when Mardi Gras day come

You fall out there

I might fuck you with my shades on

I know you like it in the day time

So baby, put your phone down

And maybe get a FaceTime, ayy

So baby, leave my shades on

'Cause you know I can't stay long, ayy

Hey now, hey now

Let me get my fix

Say you run through mind just like every day

Still thirsty for me when I'm workin', yeah

Got me dialin' your line when I'm trying to behave, yeah

Read to risk it all, babe

I'm on a break

You know that I'm on the way

You know like downtown LA

Driving, might be a delay

Don't have all day

Don't let it get in the way

Can do it in different places

Do it in different ways

But don't make a mess now

Don't be too quick

I might fuck you with my shades on

I know you like it in the day time

So baby, put your phone down

And maybe get a FaceTime, ayy

So baby, leave my shades on

'Cause you know I can't stay long, ayy

Hey now, hey now

Let me get my fix, woo

Magic with the voodoo

I do what you do

Kinky with the boots and the straps loose

Hold my hair back, let me get the juice too

I still get money like-a you do

Pop my guitar like it's U2

I wanna know if it feels good, yeah

Keep it coming 'til I can't move

I'm on a break

You know that I'm on the way

You know like downtown LA

Driving, might be a delay

Don't have all day

Don't let it get in the way

Can do it in different places

Do it in different ways

But don't make a mess now

Don't be too quick

I might fuck you with my shades on

I know you like it in the day time

So baby, put your phone down

And maybe get a FaceTime, ayy

So baby, leave my shades on

'Cause you know I can't stay long, ayy

Hey now, hey now

Let me get my fix

You know you want it

You know, you know you want it

You know you want it

You know, you know you want it

You know you want it

You know, you know you want it

You know you want it

(You know, you know you want it)

(You know you want it

You know, you know you want it

You know you want it

You know, you know you want it)

There ain't no place

There ain't no place

There ain't no place in this whole wide world like New Orleans

They call it Groove City

Groove City

Groove

Groove

Groove City

Groove City
