Mirrorshades pt. 2 (Live version) lyrics
by Daveed Diggs
[Chorus]
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
You cool with that?
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
[Verse 1]
Waiting in the traffic
Hoping that the sun will go down
Hands are fishing in the pockets
Finding nothing, he's okay, he's got his
[Chorus]
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
You cool with that?
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
[Verse 2]
Keep your eye on him, but don't look
The coolest motherf*cker in the room, he ain't gotta be watchin'
Let 'em all watch you, they gotta be talkin'
Flash camera, take a pic for the media
It's a blank face just the other side of boredom
But the beat stay knockin' in the back, know how they been goin'
Two step, quick shuffle, with minimal moment
Find a money bag and make him a meal ticket
And maybe if you tick all of the boxes, tickle him and take another little tip off the top
Or maybe not, it's got not a lot of people perpetratin' the poppin'
And hoppin' on the porch, probably ain't too many is honestly hot
Is they real, though? Baby, is you?
You can see it, you can feel it, don't that mean that it's true?
That's enough of that philosophizin', ain't what you do
Just sit back and enjoy the view, 'cause you got your
[Chorus]
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
[Verse 3]
Wading in a river
Hoping that the sulphur don't burn
Hands are fishing in the water
Finding nothing, fish are dead now
[Chorus]
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
[Verse 4]
Are you sick of being focused on the future, baby?
Maybe take a look at you now, you in it, ain't you? Come on
Clap for it, drop down, real low, touch the ground
Bring it back, get up slow, make way for it
Anything you wanted, you can think about it up in here
But you could get it somehow, it might cost you, ay
Clap for it, drop down, real low, touch the ground
Bring it back, get up slow, make way for it
Baby you got every bit of time you ever wanted
Ain't nobody gonna move a muscle, where would they go?
It's nothing for them outside in the cold, they wanna give you the go
You fantasize about the palm of your hand
So just hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Hold it, long as you control it, let 'em watch
Stroll into the back, they can't crack your
[Chorus]
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
Are you cool with that?
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
[Verse 5]
Standing on a rooftop
Hoping that the fall will be swift
Hands are spread out like an airplane
Traffic rushes, count the stories upon your
[Chorus]
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
[Verse 6]
If you could be anything, be anyone, be anywhere but here
Here is so done, here is so dead, here is nothing, here you go
If you could do anything, do anyone, do yourself a favor
You are so hot, you are so now, you are so alive again
Walk like you are, talk, like you can dance, don't you just
Pose, don't you dare sweat, don't you just love
All of this love? All of them, make love to them all
Love to f*ck, f*ck all you love, f*ck all you love, f*ck all you love
You're better off now, now you're inside where you can stay
If you've got
[Chorus]
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
