Playin' In The Shade Lyrics

[Verse 1: ODM]
Here comes another bump from the Light of Shade
The D on my side, Jammin' James on the fade
I bring to you something funky with the attraction
Listen to the raps when the O comes slamming
Sometimes it gets a little risky in the biz
To know about structure and don't take a wiz
Jacking me boy, that'd be the wrong thing to do
If you play with my money, then it's coming for you foo
Now I'm not the type that'll causes a threat to your health
But all I got left is my moms and my wealth
Struggling, surviving, night and day in
I pray to the Lord that my songs keep playing
When all of sudden, things don't seem clear no more
I'm sure everyone's been there before
I just sit back and have a brute with my crew
Cause things are too hot so I just play it cool

[Chorus]
Oh, it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I got to get for mine and I got to get paid
So it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I kick with my homies cause I'm playing in the shade

[Verse 2: ODM]
Well it's a brand new swing that I bring, I never front
Leave it to the Shade and giving just what you want
I take the next step to another level
I'm coming from the barrio hitting every ghetto
Sway to the rhythm, funk-funk is what I give them
Ask me how I'm living, hey I'm living like Thanksgiving
I got total control like the others left behind
I got tons of skill so there's no need to rewind
Playing in the shade is the slogan
Which means I'm rolling, strolling with my fat [?]
Many of my best think of me as a role model
Little do they know, it doesn't take one to follow
So speak for what you know and flow what you got And step into the shade when things get too hot

[Chorus]
Oh, it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I got to get for mine and I got to get paid
So it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I kick with my homies cause I'm playing in the shade

[Verse 3: ODM]
Can you feel it, but nothing can save you
My ill rap behavior bring ford's the new flavor
Now that you know how the story goes bud
Things remain the same because I've been doing it for months
Props to the rap scene for taking this as a business
For those that hear me though, yo can I get a witness
Stay on point, think about the future
And '94 is yours, take key for what's suits you
Go with the flow and every direction
Section by section, taking time is a lesson
No question, I live by the music
The funk is a gift and I know how to use it
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow
No limit to my funk and no limit to my flow
Four years deep and this journey to the top
And it's too hot to stop, peace and I'm out

[Chorus till Fade]
Oh, it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I got to get for mine and I got to get paid
So it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I kick with my homies cause I'm playing in the shade

Oh, it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I got to get for mine and I got to get paid
So it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I kick with my homies cause I'm playing in the shade

Oh, it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I got to get for mine and I got to get paid
So it's too hot (Too hot) Too hot baby
I kick with my homies cause I'm playing in the shade

Oh, it's too hot...
