Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look, yo, no castaway, no survivor
I ain't lost and this ain't shipwrecked
I fell small in this big wide world
A mummy ain't said, honey, I shrunk the kids, yet
I ain't Jesus but I'm walkin' on water
There's no bombs here, there's no walkers
I can break out of jail with a lighter
So is there any point in making laws, blood
This ain't Atlantis, are you sure?
I nearly suffocated when I touched the shore
No rain, condoms it poured and up the road
You'll never guess who I saw
[Verse 2]
Uh, uh, uh, it's K A
Look, skip on the beat like Ali in the gym
Honey, I'm home this is where I wanna live
Just found it like Nemo on the D-low
I don't know if it's greener, but it's green though
On the other side of the fence, bind to the ends
Look, no fits, no stress, no rent, no superficial shit, this real flow
Where the women look hot, but the beach cold
And the speech goes like, hi, little lady
Sex on the beach, wanna try for a baby
Word in the village, I'm a little bit crazy
Swagger on a hundred degrees, no eighty
Look, if heaven had a VIP uh, this is it, white sand blue sea
But I don't know who they are and
I'm damn sure they don't know me
But I come in peace
[Verse 3]
Cool, white flag, white flag
No war, no guns, no corps
Just life, just love, no hype, just fun, no ties
Just me and my mind
Just me and my wife
But tell me if I'm dreamin'
'Cause I don't wanna wake up till the evening
And I don't wanna be left sleepin'
From all the diseases that I breathe in
Look, respect the island, no stealin'
And don't bring religion here, no three kings
Integrated and we ain't leavin'
We come on a peace thing
White flag
White flag
