Quo Ft. Redman - Huh What (1994)

Tito's back FLIP

Exactly Where It Should Be

"Shady Fools" (Vol. 2 EPx9 is the twin sister song of "Shades of Fools", and what happens when I swap my KNOWsutra and BLOWsutra hats... because heh, better be safe than sorry, and also, because I often dream of a world where the shades of soul—not the color of skin—mattered (damn it)! Because (everybody knows), like Tom Waits once said, "there's no prayer like desire", And Cindy Lauper was definitely onto something with that "True Colors" song :)

Just remember this, when judging character: what matters is the why! #truestory

[Intro]
I don’t know, I don’t know,
But I know we’re all fools on show,
Some play fair, some go low,
Shady fools, oh they glow…

[Verse 1]
In a carnival of painted smiles,
Some walk straight, some crawl the miles,
Seeking fortune, seeking fame,
In the shadows, they all look the same.

[Chorus]
Shady fools, in the masquerade,
Hidin’ true selves, in the choices made,
Not the who or the where, the when or how,
But the why that cuts through the crowd.

[Verse 2]
I’ve lived and learned, seen the spectrum wide,
From fools that hide to those with pride,
It’s not the face, the place, or name,
But the reason that they play the game.

[Bridge]
Oh, the games they play, the lies they say,
All for a piece of the fool’s buffet,
But in the end, under the moon’s soft glow,
The why is the only truth you’ll ever know.

[Chorus]
Shady fools, in the circus light,
Every soul has a shade tonight,
Look beyond the laughter, beyond the cries,
And see the truth in their eyes.

[Outro]
I don’t know, but here’s the truth I found,
We’re all fools just dancin’ ‘round,
Intentions matter, that’s the key,
To see the shades of fools, oh can’t you see?

Note: if you're reading this, I'm gonna assume you like this song (like me:), and tell you that the first Volume of this EP, which I shared on SoundCloud several months ago as a single, is still my fav, and so you should totally look it up now :)
