Throwing Shade
Embracing Positivity: Rejecting Negativity in Life's Journey
Lyrics
I have been around the block at least a time or two
I have gained experience and faced challenges multiple times.
And I wrote the heart one book about the Lovesick Blues
I wrote a comprehensive book about the emotional pain of love.
If you want to try your luck under this thick skin
If you want to test your luck dealing with my tough exterior.
Your odds are low and the stakes are high when you start chipping in
Your chances are slim, and the risks are high when you get involved.
Don't be throwing shade
Do not criticize or disrespect me.
Cause I'm making hay
I am being productive and successful.
The summer's coming, the bees are humming
The summer is approaching, and positive things are happening.
It's all good but your mouth keeps running everyday
Despite everything being fine, you continue to talk negatively every day.
No one cares what you say
Your opinions are irrelevant, and no one cares about them.
Don't be throwing shade
Reiteration: Do not criticize or disrespect me.
If there was a picture of a man who'd seen it all
Imagine a man who has experienced everything.
We can take a selfie, you can hang it on your wall
We can capture a moment together, and you can keep it as a memory.
When you feel all down and mean, start to bitch and moan
When feeling upset, think about the consequences before expressing negativity.
Think about what you might hit before you cast that stone
Consider the impact before criticizing or attacking others.
Don't be throwing shade
Reiteration: Do not criticize or disrespect me.
Cause I'm making hay
I am being productive and successful.
The summer's coming, the bees are humming
Reiteration: The summer is approaching, and positive things are happening.
It's all good but your mouth keeps running everyday
Despite everything being fine, you continue to talk negatively every day.
No one cares what you say
Your opinions are irrelevant, and no one cares about them.
Don't be throwing shade
Reiteration: Do not criticize or disrespect me.
Speaking out at school (shade)
Speaking negatively in an educational setting.
Like a damn fool (shade)
Behaving foolishly while expressing negativity.
Man, it just ain't cool
It is not acceptable or admirable to throw shade.
To be throwing shade
Reiteration: It is not acceptable to criticize or disrespect me.
Don't be throwing shade
Reiteration: Do not criticize or disrespect me.
Cause I'm making hay
I am being productive and successful.
The summer's coming, the bees are humming
Reiteration: The summer is approaching, and positive things are happening.
It's all good but your mouth keeps running everyday
Despite everything being fine, you continue to talk negatively every day.
No one cares what you say
Your opinions are irrelevant, and no one cares about them.
Don't be throwing shade
Reiteration: Do not criticize or disrespect me.
