Lyrics

[Verse 1]
'Cause I was born a water baby
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
'Cause I will live through days that break me
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
[Verse 2]
I'm still tryna write the story as I see it
The trouble is when I say it, they don't believe it
They're acting like, only say it, but I don't mean it
I'm tryna tell 'em I can only say it if I can feel it
[Verse 3]
'Cause money's tight, maybe tighter than it was before
I'm helping out on a mortgage I really can't afford
Family breaking off, I cover the trips abroad
Shaking, I'm making another loss on another tour
[Verse 4]
But what I done it for?
To see my mother in the sun abroad
I run into trouble that was coming for
My little brother got the hunger for
All the exact same pain
That makes the rain in my stomach pour
[Verse 5]
So let me paint it broader
This is for any dude who's got a daughter
Living off lines that your papa taught her
Uh, ain't got no time to be coming for you
Go with the flow of this running water
[Verse 6]
Hey, go with the flow of this
Hey, go with the flow of this
Uh, go with the flow of this
[Verse 7]
Don't you worry, uh
Two leaves won't grow the same
And people might forget your name
Doesn't matter if they do
[Verse 8]
Don't you hurry, uh
When the hot coffee pours, who stained?
And when the Uber left you in the rain
Your time will come around to you
[Verse 9]
Despite the stress of spending so much time alone
'Cause this geography is keeping me at home
When I don't know the way to go
I move with the flow of this running water
This running water, uh
[Verse 10]
'Cause I was born a water baby
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
'Cause I will live through days that break me
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
[Verse 11]
Go with the flow of this running water, uh
[Verse 12]
Thank you, sir
