lyrics

Will we get our get back?
Sometimes I just sit back
And think about the lies they tell
Just to hide the whip crack

Plottin with my homies
Thinkin bout my 'roni
who told she'd be the first one
to put hands on these cronies

Dodging all the phonies
Impasta, maccaroni
Do it all for this cheese
and the rigatoni...

How much was your soul?
Did that piece of the pie really make you whole? Oh no!

Ride the wave, c'mon and ride the wave
Make a splash-- oh no you won't be saved
The undertow will wash you away
So, just ride the wave. Ride the wave

Ride the wave, c'mon and ride the wave
Make a splash-- oh no you won't be saved
The undertow will wash you away
So, just ride the wave. Ride the wave

Hold up, show up, glow up, grow!
Maybe pop a wheelie, feel me?
Hear me bassing down your street
See my healing clearly. Hey,

Genie in a bottle, would you grant me a wish?
I want all my people shining, thriving, claiming what they missed
Taking what we're owed, breaking all the molds
If you lock up another kid we're running in your home

I'm just chilling in my zone
Lord willing there's no killing in my zone

Ride the wave, c'mon and ride the wave
Make a splash-- oh no you won't be saved
The undertow will wash you away
So, just ride the wave. Ride the wave

Ride the wave, c'mon and ride the wave
Make a splash-- oh no you won't be saved
The undertow will wash you away
So, just ride the wave. Ride the wave

So much of it is out of our control
but I'm always grateful when something good happens.

You can't make it happen,
but you can support it and welcome it when it arrives.

That thing that's bigger than yourself.
Good things happen, bad things happen-- that's all a part of life.
Riding the wave, you know?

I'm still learning that. Riding the wave is hard.
Cause you dip down low sometimes and you get stuck.

That's when you just lay yourself down
and let it be...
