FIG TREE Lyrics

(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
