L
Jaden Smith Lyrics

I could put you on a wave
I have the ability to elevate you and your life to new heights

I just put you on a wave
I just helped you reach a new level of success or happiness

You're pretty as the ocean
You are captivating and beautiful like the vast expanse of the ocean

I'm coming with the gang
I am part of a group and we move together

So you need to get out our way
Move aside because we have a clear path to success

The ladies love it when I sing
My singing captivates and pleases women

The niggas love my abilities
Men admire and respect my talents

When I make the fire on the beats
When I create music, it ignites a passion in the listener

I'm about to make a mil' a week
I am on the cusp of making a million dollars per week

When I hit 'em with the melodies
When I sing sweet tunes, it touches people's hearts

I don't care what you tellin' me
I am confident in my own beliefs and do not succumb to others' opinions

Tryna stay away from felonies, oh
I am trying to avoid getting into trouble with the law

Girl I'm Martin Luther, Martin Luther King
In my fight for justice and change, I feel as powerful as Martin Luther King Jr.

Life is hard I'm Kamasutra-ing
I am navigating life's difficulties with sexual prowess

I'm runnin' through the pain that the youth has been
I am overcoming the suffering that young people have faced

Inflicted with, it's just ridiculous that you would kill a kid for some Yeezy's
It is absurd and tragic that a young person could be murdered for a pair of shoes

Grab your shoes and give his mom a visit at the funeral, you lookin' fly as hell
Instead of flaunting our fashion, we should show support and care for the family of the deceased

Is that really how we're living, check it
We need to reflect on the current state of society and whether it is just and humane

Got a vivid dream of som' different (tell 'em)
I have a clear vision for a better future and I want to inspire others to join me

K. Dot is comin' out of me, the poetry you know it's been a minute
I am channeling the poetic and socially conscious energy of Kendrick Lamar

Forefathers put the tax on our real fathers
Our ancestors imposed taxes on our biological fathers, perpetuating a cycle of systemic oppression

I don't feel represented, I should be up in the Senate
As a marginalized person, I do not have adequate representation in government and should have a voice in the Senate

Swear I feel like Martin Luther, baby, we need Adam, false prosecutors so they won't
I feel like I am part of a movement for justice, and we need more leaders like Adam (possibly referring to Adam Clayton Powell Jr.). We also need to combat unfair prosecution.

Hand to, hand to, hand to, hand to, hand my niggas to the prisons
Black people are being unjustly incarcerated and sent to prison at an alarming rate

Forgiveness over your permission
I choose to forgive those who have wronged me without seeking their permission

Just because I didn't break it, I'ma fix it
I take responsibility for problems, even if I did not cause them, and work to find solutions

And I'm with my dawgs, I'm finna sic 'em
I am loyal to my friends and will defend them when necessary

Teachers said I need a lesson
I have been told that I need guidance and education

So I go and start my own school
I take control of my education and create my own learning environment

And it's a mystery to you, you get it?
Some people may not understand my unconventional approach, but I find success in it

Misdemeanor's comin' true, it ain't a question
I am making positive changes and achieving success, and it is not up for debate

But it ain't a problem, they don' catch you
Even when I make mistakes, they do not hold me back because I do not get caught

That's the mind state of the youth including me
Many young people, including myself, believe that avoiding punishment is more important than avoiding wrongdoing

We need some new professors
We need educators who understand the unique needs and struggles of today's youth

Were you goin' fast son? Yes, sir
I was driving quickly, and someone in authority (like a police officer) asked me about it

It was that autopilot on the Tesla
I was not fully aware of my actions because of the advanced technology in my car

Heart palpitating so my chest hurts
I am feeling anxious and overwhelmed, which is causing physical discomfort

Probably see it through my sweatshirt, yellin'
My emotional distress is visible even through my clothing, and I am expressing my feelings verbally

Mama, mama, I'm a mess-up
I apologize to my mother for being imperfect and making mistakes

Sorry, mama, I'm a mess-up
I am once again apologizing to my mother for my shortcomings

Hit the pedal just so I could go impress 'em
I made a reckless decision to impress others

Almost got us on the stretcher
My actions could have caused serious harm to myself and others

And I'm sorry mama, know you taught me better
I recognize that my mother has taught me to make better choices and I am apologizing for ignoring that guidance

You know, you know you taught me better
I acknowledge that my mother has instilled important values in me and I should have followed them

Father, I don't need a lecture
I appreciate and respect my father's guidance, but I already know what I did wrong

Man, I know the street is rougher for the texture
I understand that the hardships of the street have made me tougher and more resilient

And I'm saying, 'Sorry, mama, I'm a mess-up'
I am once again apologizing to my mother for my mistakes and imperfections

Sorry, mama, I'm the mess-up
I accept responsibility for my actions and apologize for any pain or disappointment I have caused

I just use these 808's to do confessions
I express my feelings, flaws, and struggles through my music

I'm done with cursing and I'm flexing
I have moved past using vulgar language in my music and now show off my success and confidence

Buying purses, man, I feel like I'm a peasant
Material possessions do not bring true happiness and may even make me feel inadequate

This isn't me, it's my reflection
My outward appearance and material possessions do not define who I am as a person

My purity is the protection from the insecurities of a section of my soul
My inner purity and authenticity serve as a shield against the vulnerabilities and insecurities within me

Follow me into the ocean
Join me in diving deep into new experiences and opportunities

You will never be the same
Your life will be transformed and improved by following me on this journey
