Tides Songtext
von Anik Khan

I think I need your presence more than I need myself
I′m way past where the edge is, reachin' out for help
I don′t think I've ever felt this high, the moonlight hit the tides
Oh, how I'm drawn to you, yeah

Listen, Ruggie in my cup (uh-uh), grape mint′s in the air
Sometimes, you show me love, sometimes, you don′t play fair
But I guess that's just your style
You′ve had me in denial of how I'm drawn to you (ooh)

Yeah, pick up, pick up
Listen for us
You know we got that fuego
Pressure will burst
But that ain′t enough

You know I'll do what they won′t
You tame the night
You bring the light
You know I'll go where you go
Where you go
You!


Uh-oh (uh-oh), uh-oh (uh-oh) (light it up and go)
Pull me in then let go (pull me in then let go)
Uh-oh (uh-oh), uh-oh (yeah, yeah)
Pull me in then let go (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

I think I'm goin′ through a quarter life crisis
I′m 27, still sleepin' on a bunk bed
Ayy, what′s for dinner?
I love my sisters, they help put me through the winter
I don't wanna see them upset
Enough said, life ain′t hard

Just the people that are
My dreams ain't far, they live in the dark
I′m lyin' with an African queen
Sayin' don′t worry about a thing
But I′m scared that's just pillow talk
Well fuck it, ′least I'm lyin′ on a bed
Roof over my head, and the truth is I'm blessed


I′m confused
Shit I don't wanna do this for bread, that's useless
I just wanna keep the fam fed
Man I wish this was ′08
Back when I was hungry for the whole plate (uh)
Now, you can see it in my eyes
To protect who is at your side
I′ma blame that shit on old age

Priorities are changin', dreams rearrangin′
Rather be overseas and leave entertainment
Find a couple villages and lead some education
Get rid of all my privileges and teach these kids the basics

Maybe I'm complainin′
Maybe I'm just trying to find a way to maintain it
This ain′t the same kid from the basement
I'm second-guessin', need to let that go
I′m on a quest with my tribe for that De La Soul

Uh-oh (uh-oh), uh-oh (uh-oh) (light it up and go)
Pull me in then let go (pull me in then let go)
Uh-oh (uh-oh), uh-oh (yeah, yeah)
Pull me in then let go (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Hit ′em with the ba-da-bum (yeah), ba-da-bum (yeah)
Ba-da-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum (oh)
Ba-da-bum (yeah), ba-da-bum (yeah)
Ba-da-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum (oh)
Ta-da-ta, ta-da-ta (ta-ta)
Ta-da-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-da-ta, ta-da-ta
Ta-da-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta (ooh-ooh)

Pull a gun through
I'm just tryin′ to live in-between your bayou
Ayy, I cool out your gun zone
Got me feelin' way up like Toronto
Ayy, tell me what you want though
We just mix the weed up with the fronto

Ayy, I cool out your gun zone
Got me feelin′ way up like Toronto
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) me let the fool go though
We just tryin' to live in-between your bundle
Ayy, I cool out your gun zone
