Like Water
Kota the Friend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Money on trees you feel that breeze
You feel that woah woah woah
That feeling there I call that woah woah woah
That ocean calling my name that water callin my name
Should I go should I stay I just dont know

I don't trip none
City filled of gold everybody trynna get some
Hive full with bees ain't nobody trynna get stung
Grew up in the rags we just trynna not to get rung you know how it go
Live my life no bark cuz a nigga just bite nigga
I dont really care i dont wanna fight
I just wanna hit the waves catching non stop flights
Give a fuck about hate i only hate war in my own world where i got my own laws
On the west coast waking up like dawn
You give a man the world he goin' only want more he goin' only want -

Money on trees you feel that breeze
You feel that woah woah woah
That feeling there I call that woah woah woah
That ocean calling my name that water callin my name
Should I go should I stay I just dont know

Chillin in el barrio with an old soul kicking back playing mario
Mad layed up feeling made bae'd up
Mami hold me down acting mad day one
Air bnb only app that i frequent
Baby girl just my type for the weekend
Kisses on her cheek when i leave in the uber
California girl say she buyin me a juicer
Love like this ain't nothing im used to
Trust no bitch but baby me gusta
Real nigga find a real one in the city of the angels
Made me feel something to the ankles uh
Thats life
Fuck around and make a good women my wife
Call her from the airport tell her good night
Never leave a good thing if it feel right, like uh
Got me asking if its real life like uh
Make a nigga hear right, say what
If its gone be then it's gone be i ain't tryna cage that dove imma let her be free

Money on trees you feel that breeze
You feel that woah woah woah
That feeling there I call that woah woah woah




That ocean calling my name that water callin my name
Should I go should I stay I just dont know
