Shade - Brett Domino

Everything looks good in the sunshine

Everything feels good in the sunshine

Everyone looks good in the sunshine

But you’re the kind of person that looks best in the shade

Kick out your best lick, put up your fists

‘Cause we’re about to get physical

Don’t act quizzical, you know what I mean

I’m built like a bean, of course I’m not being literal

I’m talking in the vernacular

I’m an ambassador, get ready for a lyrical massacre

I got the rhymes when it comes down to it

I hope you got a tongue, mate, you’re about to chew it

I take you down like a lamb to the slaughter

‘Cause I come straight outta Dictionary Corner

I was born there, I’ll floor ya, here’s a caution, have some water

You’re gonna get dehydrated, just don’t say I didn’t warn ya

Fzz, that’s your brain overheating in the sun

Like Carlos Santana, man, it’s a hot one

Blue sky, cool breeze, thirty plus centigrade

But you’d better stay at home and don’t come out of the shade

Let’s go out in the sunshine

We could have a fun time

Kicking a ball and sitting

Oh no, but I don’t wanna look at you

‘Cause you’re not too pretty

Yeah, it’s all good in the summertime

Mixing up a fresh lime soda

Cachaça and cola

But you’re better in the shade if you know what’s good for you

Ding ding ding, now we’re back in the ring

You’d better have a screen up for these shots I’m ‘bout to sling

I hope you get tweets

‘Cause I got mad beef

And one-hundred-and-forty characters to bring

Ping ping ping, that’s your phone lighting up

Delivering fresh zing that I’m typing up

You’re so inconsequential, GPS can’t find ya

You’re so unsightly, your face crashed Grindr

Your IQ so low, you gotta dig for it

Unlimited refills of the stupid juice and your swigging it

What’s that you’re wearing?

It’s an absolute disgrace

Your computer has a really clumsy user interface

You’re just a massive idiot, and that’s all I got to say

So your best bet, I guess, is just to stay away

Yeah, you’re a fully qualified member of the jerk brigade

Only one place for you and I’m afraid that’s the shade
