(Give me shade, give me shade)
(Give me shade, give me shade)
Take them shoes off 'for you run all in my house
Leave the baggage at the door and watch your mouth
Take a trip to gas station here's your dollar
Listen to ya' aunty, uncles when they call ya'
Mommy workin' she can't stay with us right now
Daddy workin' he been gone for a long while
I didn't know they were tryna make a way for us
Fallin' asleep to tapes that Mama used to play for us
Fig Tree
Fig between my teeth
Never really liked them 'til I realized they just like me
Fig Tree
Fig between my teeth
Never really liked them 'til I realized they just like me
Fig Tree
Fig between my teeth
Never really liked them 'til I realized they just
Give me shade, Give me shade
Been in my way, We just the same
Give me shade, Give me shade
I gotta change, Been in my way
Fig Tree
You're just like me
Bloom on the inside
The world won't know 'til we get it right
Playing "Cops and Robbers" running down the street
Kick my shoes off oh, no they ain't catching me
Breeze don't feel the same nowadays
Before you know it man, it all seems to change
Take a moment realize that you used to pray
For all this you'll get better day by day
They don't know that they cannot play with us
Learning quick miss those tapes you would play for us
Fig Tree
Fig between my teeth
Never really liked them 'til I realized they just like me
Fig Tree
Fig between my teeth
Never really liked them 'til I realized they just like me
Fig Tree
Never really liked them 'til I realized they just
Give me shade, Give me shade
Been in my way, We just the same
Give me shade, Give me shade
I gotta change, Been in my way
Give me shade (yeah)
See the stars how they shine
They see shadows and the dark but they rise
See the stars realign
They was hatin' now they sayin' you divine
See the stars (they just like me)
They just like me, they just like me
See the stars (you're just like me)
See the stars, see the stars
How they shine, how they shine, how they shine
See the stars, see the stars
How they shine, how they shine, how they shine
See the stars
See the stars
