Sharks
Lauren Rocket Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing too deep when you have to have it
Nothing to steep just automatic
Swimming with the sharks its a bad habit
Swimming with the sharks its a bad habit

Mountains don't count when you want it all
Better watch out i'm a cannon ball
Coming down hard like a waterfall
Till I get what I want

Till I get what I want
Till I get what I want

Money still talks when its on the table
Never gonna stop never gonna fake it
Swimming with the sharks if you wanna make it
Swimming with the sharks if you wanna make it

Mountains don't count when you want it all
Better watch out i'm an eight ball
Coming down hard like a waterfall
Till I get what I want

Till I get what I want
Till I get what I want
Till I get what I want
Till I get what I want

Play it like a game
Blow it like smoke
Swing it like a hammer
Go until you're broke
Live it up high
Keep it down low
Keep your friends in the dark
And your enemies close

I'll be swimming with the sharks
I will always be here swimming with the sharks
I'll be swimming with the sharks
I will always be here swimming with the sharks

Play it like a game
Blow it like smoke
Swing it like a hammer
Go until you're broke
Live it up high
Keep it down low




Keep your friends in the dark
And your enemies close
