Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
You cool with that?
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades

Dancing at a nightclub
Hoping that the DJ won't stop
Hands can touch somebody sexy
You're not sexy if you don't walk in with your

Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
You cool with that?
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades ('round here I wear my mirrorshades)
I'm cool with that

I'm that bitch with the blade
I'm that bitch on the stage
I run loops 'round the page
Round up the dukes from the age
Round up the troops from the cage
Grounded in tricks, I'm a mage
Birthed from the temples of rage
Not knowing which side of the cave
Not knowing how quite to behave
Still blind to the way that we play
Find me with a pack of the knaves
Find me in the belly of a rave
Find me at the bottom of my grave
Maybe I still can't be saved
'Round here I wear my mirrorshades
Not to disarm you, I'm totally harmless
I'm just a girl that can't keep a promise

I keep my lover adonis
I keep my players with artists
I keep my tricks in the socket
Can't guess 'em all but I'm on it
Never deluded to think I'm a goddess
Thought I was still the colossus
Tripped on my feet but still conscious
Wake up in tears, the dawn is upon us
Wake up with nothing, dishonest
These agents are playing, they're novice
Could it be worse? Maybe, but I'm not a prophet
I couldn't tell you, I'm stranded in orbit
I've got my gun to the rockets
Empty my pockets to gauge
They used to be lined with what I was paid
Crickets of past, my memories decayed
I keep my back to the wall and my eyes inside my

Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
You cool with that?
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades

Sitting on your soapbox
Hoping that the crowds will come back
Hands are clasped in prayer to God now
God is not here, he forgot to rock his

'Round here they wear their mirrorshades
You cool with that?
Mirrorshades
'Round here you wear your mirrorshades

I sure like your mirrorshades
You're moving like a renegade
Too big for your suit, you had drips in jade
Too tall for the room, you wanted tricks and chains
I said keep your wits about you, it can be arranged
Snake eyes on my neck and the heights of fame
Black bread magic and some video games
I want real good juice, not minute maid
I want real good juice when the lights dim
I want real bad news when I let you in
I want real big troops when I win

Real dance starts when I'm on page 69
The Sun hung real low when I saw the time
My heart beat real fast when I saw the signs
Lots of beats on the rhyme
I say what if I look so fine when I die?
What if I look so fine when I die?
What if I look so fine? Yeah
When you lower me from the light
Burn big fires for me tonight
All that metal, copper, silver, gold
Cash, guns, bullets, leather soles
Lower me from the dripping cold
But please make sure I have my

'Round here you wear your mirrorshades
You cool with that? (I'm cool with that)
Mirrorshades
'Round here they wear their mirrorshades

Running on a treadmill
Hoping that the body stays fit
Hands on hips to catch your breath now
Fuck this treadmill, you don't need it if you've got

You cool with that?
