1
I took the shades off
2
The world looked oh-so-bright
3
The world looked oh-so-right
4
It seemed oh-so-wrong
5
Like there for so, so long
6
I changed myself for so long
7
Cos now I see the
8
Cos now I see the
9
I see the
10
[Chorus with backing vocals]
11
I see the beauty when the shades come off
12
The brights look brighter
13
Sometimes when brights look brighter
14
It makes the darks look darker
15
When some of the blues look bluer
16
And some of the greens look red
17
I gotta free my head, my head, my head
18
[Verse]
19
It had to be cooler than cool
20
The harder to find my heart and my mind
21
Were caught up in trying to be a bosser
22
And then nobody heard of a calling it mine
23
And I could spend all of my time
24
Ignoring the shiny ball in the sky
25
Keeping my colour and all in the line
26
Sticking so deep it distorted my mind
27
It seemed to get sorted with time
28
Proceeded to walk in the line
29
Discovered the things I was into
30
Before I got caught up and all but went blind
31
A whole different world could be mine
32
The planets in orbit defined
33
The pigeon is out of its hole
34
So I'm calling it huh! I'm calling it mine
35
I took the shades off
36
The world looked oh-so-bright
37
The world looked oh-so-right
38
It seemed oh-so-wrong
39
Like there for so, so long
40
I changed myself for so long
41
Cos now I see the
42
Cos now I see the
43
I see the
44
[Chorus with backing vocals]
45
I see the beauty when the shades come off
46
The brights look brighter
47
Sometimes when brights look brighter
48
It makes the darks look darker
49
When some of the blues look bluer
50
And some of the greens look red
51
I gotta free my head, my head, my head
52
My head, my head
53
My head, my head
54
My head, my head
55
Ma-ha-ee-ah
56
My head, my head
57
My head, my head
58
My head, my head
59
Ma-ha-ee-ah

[Verse]
61
I had my walkman on
62
But what could I hear with my head in my ass
63
I just keep walking on like
64
One of the square they get in the trash
65
Get in the class and learn the rules
66
Now we was a bunch of discerning fools
67
There's only so much you can learn in schools
68
Of thought and taught the rights and wrongs
69
Of writing songs and keeping it real
70
But keep it real, I'm eating a meal
71
And beating up (?), I beat that up (?)
72
And I don't need nothing to sweeten the deal
73
And speaking of skill I got it (for days?)
74
Speaking it ill when I drop it, (?)
75
And speaking of shades I got prepared
76
To drop my pair and cop the glare
77
(I got prepared to cop the glare)
78
[Instrumental break - 8 bars]
79
I had my shades on
80
The world's got better, yeah
81
Yeah, it's no or no
82
There's no buts about it
83
You're (better?) than me, I doubt it
84
You (liking the nine?) about it
85
It's bigger than that, I doubt it
86
[Chorus with backing vocals]
87
I see the beauty when the shades come off
88
The brights look brighter
89
Sometimes when brights look brighter
90
It makes the darks look darker
91
When some of the blues look bluer
92
And some of the greens look red
93
I gotta free my head, my head, my head
94
[Instrumental coda - 20 bars]
