Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(It's a revolution)

Hmm

Yeah, hmm

Yeah, mmm

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Aye

Aye

[Verse 2]

Now I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

[Verse 3]

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave

[Verse 4]

The night is electrical

I been told, ya'll, this is the cinema

I am on my Kubrick horn

Like a Spielberg Close Encounter form

Feeling awesome to be black

And I'm murking all competition

Making what I want and that's a flex

Can't do what you want, now ain't that a bitch?

Slow up for no one, the shogun

Magical feel in my palms

Rhythm go dumb with them hums, mmm

[Verse 5]

Now I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

[Verse 6]

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave

[Verse 7]

The industry's so full of shit

Welcome, ya'll, to the enema

Nah, man, not subliminal

'Cause they insecure, they know who they are

Feeling awesome to be black

And I'm murking all competition

Everything that I do is a flex

If you don't get me, not my issue

Slow up for no one, the shogun

Got the magic in my palms

Rhythm go dumb with them hums, mmm

[Verse 8]

Now I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

[Verse 9]

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave

[Verse 10]

Aye

Aye

[Verse 11]

Now I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

I ain't riding no waves

Too busy making my own waves, baby

[Verse 12]

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave, baby

Surfin' on my own wave

[Verse 13]

Aye

Aye

[Verse 14]

Better get up off of my wave

Better get up off of my wave

Better get up off of my wave

Better get up off of my wave...
