Go With The Flow

[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…
