VERSE:

Used to be
We were just like a family w/different moms (and)
I knew when I was weak you'd help to keep me strong (It was)
Kind of like the stories (beat) you go pay to see

Nowadays
It's like I had no point or purpose in your life (When I)
See you shinin' you never want to share the light (All I)
Wanted was to be there for you like you [were] for me
Seems you don't agree


CHORUS:

So baby why are you th'owin' shade my way
Don't know what to do or what to say
I was hoping that you hadn't changed
But I know how people do
(Still I) ain't expect this from you

Shade, Shade, Shade...


VERSE:

I don't need
To know how far along you are in your career
I know what you've been up to and from what I hear
It looks like you are on your grind, it's true

What I want
To know is how you think that you can turn it out
I know where you came from and what you're all about
You tried it, flipped it, then played us all for fools


CHORUS:

So baby why are you th'owin' shade my way
Don't know what to do or what to say
I was hoping that you hadn't changed
But I know how people do
(Still I) ain't expect this from you

Shade, Shade, Shade...


BRIDGE:

Guess I put too much trust in ya
But now I'm fed up
I don't have to take this anymore

Time do go on and do my thing
Got new songs to sing
S'not a problem walking out that door

INTERLUDE


CHORUS:

So baby why are you th'owin' shade my way
Don't know what to do or what to say
I was hoping that you hadn't changed
But I know how people do
(Still I) ain't expect this from you
