[heavy vocal improvisation]
[Drums only — tight pocket]
[Horns stab]
[Spoken] Uh! What’s comin’ in today?
[Background playful] Ooooh!
[Spoken] Don’t matter… go with the flow.
[Background falsetto] Go on wit’ it!
⸻
[Verse 1
Wake up feelin’ brand new skin
By lunchtime I’m boxed in
Evenin’ got an attitude
Knockin’ like it pay rent
[Background] Pay rent?!
Joy slide through in silk
Pain kick down the hinge
Used to lock the whole place up
Now I let it in
[Background falsetto] Let it iiiin!
If it loud, let it talk
If it soft, let it breathe
Every wave that hit my chest
Ain’t here by accident, believe
[Background harmony] Believe that, baby
[Horn hits]
⸻
Hook / Chorus
Go with the flow, let it roll
[Background] Let it roll now!
Every mood shape the soul
[Background falsetto] Sho’ do!
Break it down, shake it free
It ain’t here to bury me
[Background] No, no!
Go with the flow, don’t resist
[Background] Don’t fight it!
Every fire got a gift
[Background falsetto run] Ooo-ooo!
If it knock, I don’t hide
Open up, let it slide
[Background] Slide on in!
⸻
Verse 2
Fear come knockin’ all bold
Like it runnin’ payroll
[Background] Who you think you is?
Doubt try whisper sweet lies
Like it know my whole soul
[Background falsetto] Mmm, not today
But I grin, “What’s good?”
Pull a chair, sip slow
If you tearin’ down walls
Must be time to let go
[Background] Let it gooo!
Some storms clean the air
Some tears wash the sight
If it’s sweepin’ through hard
Might be settin’ me right
[Background harmony] That’s right
[Drums hit harder]
[Bass line dirtier]
I don’t argue with the tide
I just learn how to glide
[Background falsetto glide run]
[Hook / Chorus (Bigger)
Go with the flow, let it roll
[Background stacked] Let it roll! Let it roll!
Every mood shape the soul
[Background falsetto] Shape it!
Turn it up, flip the floor
I ain’t scared of it no more
[Background] Not anymore!
Go with the flow, don’t resist
[Background] Don’t resist it!
Every bruise got a twist
[Background falsetto riff] Oooh-wee!
If it knock, step aside
Open up, let it slide
[Background chant] Slide, slide, slide!
[Horns riff]
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Claps + bass only]
[Background playful] Uh-oh…
Clear it out if you have to
Make room for the new view
Every shadow pass through
Buildin’ somethin’ brand new
[Background harmony swell]
It ain’t breakin’ me
[Background] No it ain’t!
It’s makin’ me
[Background falsetto] Better, baby!
[Final Hook – Full Band Explosion]
[Full band back in]
[Horns punching]
Go with the flow, let it roll
[Background stacked] Let it roll now!
Every mood shape the soul
[Background falsetto run] Oooh!
Crash and burn, twist and turn
Every lesson I earn
[Background] Earn that shine!
Go with the flow, let it show
Even when it hit low
[Background harmony] Low, low, low
If it knock, I don’t hide
Open up, let it slide
[Background chant] Slide on in!
[Repeat hook 2x]
[Improvised falsetto riffs]
[Horns riffing]
[Drums ride out]
[Spoken fade] Go wit’ the flow, baby…
