A thousand times I wait
Yeah, I've been lyin' awake
The time ain't right, oh, let me go
Time ain't right, oh wait, hey
I've got lots to give (yeah)
Baby, knows the deal
When I ride on it, yeah
You know I don't miss

Ridin' on a wave
I've been on a wave
I've been on a wave
I been on a wave
I've been on a wave
Got me on a wave
Got me on a wave
Got me on a wave
Got me on a wave
Wave

Got me on a wave
Ooh, and I will never let anyone stop it
(Got me on a wave)
Hey, yeah, and I never wanna give you up
(Got me on a wave)
People wanna say what they wanna say
Baby, gon' and let 'em say-ay-ay
We don't give a damn what anyone thinks
We don't give a damn what anyone thinks
People want to say what they wanna say
Baby, gon' and let 'em say-ay-ay
We don't give a damn what anyone thinks
We don't really care what anyone says

I got you, you got me, you can do
A hundred things, I could spend it all on you
Show me the light in your waves
Rollin' through the night in a Wraith
You can hit me in the night time I can come through
At any given moment, me and you
Lately I've been countin' the days and nights
I'm tryin' to be the best I can be
Hold up, baby
Hold up, baby
I'm ridin'
Feels right when you got me on the wave, doo-doo
Swimmin' in LA, to you, to you

I'ma ride until the brakes come off
I never put the blame on you
Baby, I can ride all day
Baby, I can ride your wave
Ooh, you got me on a wave
Got me on a wave
(Nay-nay-nay-nay-nay-nay-nay-nay)
I won't lose
I'm not wastin' away alone
Oh no

Got me on a wave
I've been on a wave
I've been on a wave
I've been on a wave
Ridin' on a wave
Got me on a wave
Got me on a wave
Got me on a wave
Got me on a wave
A wave

Got me on a wave
Ooh, and I will never let anyone stop it
Got me on a wave
Hey, yeah, and I never wanna give you up
Ooh, I'ma ride it 'til the brakes come off
I never put the blame on you
Baby, I could ride all day
Baby, I could ride your wave
Wave
Got me on a wave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Majid Jordan's song "Spirit" describes the feeling of being on top of the world, riding a figurative wave of success and happiness. The singer expresses a sense of confidence and determination, stating that they won't let anyone stop them from enjoying this high point in their life. The references to riding a wave and being on a Wraith (a luxurious Rolls-Royce car) suggest a feeling of power and freedom that comes with success. The singer also acknowledges the presence of their partner, who supports and understands them, and with whom they can share this ecstatic feeling.


The repeated phrase "got me on a wave" can be interpreted in two ways - as being carried by the wave of success and emotion, or as actively riding and steering the wave, taking control of one's own life. This ambiguity reflects the complex nature of success and the emotions that come with it - it can be both exhilarating and overwhelming, and it requires a balance between surrendering to the moment and staying grounded and focused.


Overall, "Spirit" is a celebration of success, love, and the unstoppable force of the human spirit. It encourages listeners to embrace their own successes and to keep pushing forward, even in the face of doubt and adversity.
