(Intro - Rod Wave)
Yeah, yeah...
Feel the tides, they pulling me deep, uh...
Pain in my chest, tryna breathe, yeah...
This life ain't what it seem...
(Chorus - Rod Wave)
These waves don’t lie, they crash like my tears in the night (night)
Still fighting my fears, I’m praying I’ll make it in time (time)
The ocean’s my mirror, reflecting the battles inside (inside)
But through it all, I’m steady riding, yeah, yeah…
(Verse 1 - Polo G)
Look, I came from the trenches where dreams get buried in sand (buried in sand)
Where they told me, "Boy, you ain’t special," I had to take a stand (take a stand)
Now I’m stacking paper, flipping pain into plans
But when the tide rise, even kings gotta learn where they land (land)
Yeah, I felt the pressure, drowning, couldn’t catch my breath (breath)
Now the same ones who doubted sending texts like, "What’s next?" (next)
Heart heavy, yeah, it’s tatted on my chest
Lost some brothers to the streets; now I carry their regrets, yeah
(Bridge - Rod Wave)
Can’t escape the tide, it pulls me under
Lightning in my soul, I’m chasing thunder
Lord, keep me afloat when I’m going under
Yeah, yeah…
(Chorus - Rod Wave)
These waves don’t lie, they crash like my tears in the night (night)
Still fighting my fears, I’m praying I’ll make it in time (time)
The ocean’s my mirror, reflecting the battles inside (inside)
But through it all, I’m steady riding, yeah, yeah…
(Verse 2 - Polo G)
Look, lost too many nights chasing highs I can’t repeat (can’t repeat)
Now my grind different, turning verses into peace (yeah, peace)
Came up out the mud, now it’s sand under my feet
But I’ll never forget where I’m from, my heart still bleed (yeah)
The water's my escape, let the current take the pain (pain)
But even paradise got storms, it ain't all sun and rain (rain)
Still fighting demons every time I hear my name
But I promise I won’t fold, I’ma charge it to the game
(Outro - Rod Wave & Polo G)
(Rod Wave): These waves don’t lie...
(Polo G): Yeah, they don’t... nah
(Rod Wave): They crash like my tears in the night (night)…
(Polo G): In the night, yeah
(Both)
Through every rise and fall, I ride the tide...
Steady pushing, let the waves decide...
(Fade out with humming and melodic adlibs)
An infectious rap song
