On The Beach
Buddha-Bar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And when the high tide coming and the waves start rushing just hold on tight and float on
And when the rain start dumping, and ya whole life flooding, just hold on tight and float on
Float on to the rhythm of life, stay in the moment
Meditate til ya system is tight, there's no opponent
Only battle worth fighting on this Earth is a mental one
I'm passing hella game that you can give to ya little ones
Like wake up in the morning drink a bottle of water
Gotta do the simple things to keep your body in order
Fruits and veggies on the daily, I be saving my quarters
I'm expanding my mind, I been crossing new borders
I told this kid the world was his, hope is in the youth
I know the school gon' hate me, I expose 'em to the truth
Preaching knowledge of self, and how to nurture the root
Issa lot of things to learn before you get to the root
Like how to manage stress when you down at your lowest
When you feel like giving up, what you do stay focused
When them people throwing shade, how still gone shine
When it's time to lead the children, how you get 'em in line
When you feel like you the shit, how you gone stay humble
The higher the climb, it's just as long of a tumble
You can't worry bout the past, but don't look too far
I promise everything you need is right here where you are
And when the high tide coming and the waves start rushing just hold on tight and float on
And when the rain start dumping, and ya whole life flooding, just hold on tight and float on
And float on
Drip or drown is the options we given, and I'll be damned
If I choose to spend my whole life slaving for Uncle Sam
I ain't never trap, but I can't say I ain't think about it
Getting quick money, always stacking spending profit
Now I'm on the crypto, investing and penny stocking
When Dogecoin went on a rise I can't lie it was hella shocking
Imma flip the dough and use the bread for my career
Smooth as a butter knife, swagger so severe
This right here's some new flavor in ya ear
Yeah I like the food but you plated it weird
I'm saying yeah she taste good, but she need some new gear
Taking her shopping after Nyepi, tell her happy new year
It's my pleasure you deserve it, you a really good person
Better than the rest like you an upgraded version
She say she not perfect, and some things could be better
I tell her pick her head up, look up high like a header
She love it when I comfort her it's making her wetter
When I be slipping and slidin she tell me hold on tight and float on
Float on til end of the night
I might drown in her river tonight
But I gotta float on




And when the high tide coming and the waves start rushing jut hold on tight and float on
And when the rain start dumping, and ya whole life flooding, just hold on tight and float on
