On The Beach
Nick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Live my life private on islands
Be places they'll never go
I'm right on time with my grind
Never stop chasing the dough
I post up right by the waves
Kick back and roll up my dope
I know that they'll never find me
When I get lost by the coast
I don't need bandwagon friends
Telling me I'm the man
Who love me just cause I'm poppin'
Then cancel me cause they can
I'm far away from society
Y'all can keep all of that
I'll just be here making music
Meanwhile I'm stacking my cash
Learned how to watch my own back
And keep my eyes on the bag
If I keep coming up
Then I'm never stopping again
You know that I'm one of one
And the waves are crashing again
So grab ahold of your board
Go ahead and surf on that shit...
There's a party on the beach, and I think we're tryna go
I was feeling kinda down, so I rolled a little smoke
I got lost I was found and I guess that's how it goes
I just want to live tonight forget it all and let go
Let go of my problems
Let go of the hate
Letting go of anything
That's crowding my plate
I'm keeping my mind steady
At peace with the pace
I knew this would happen
Just like it was fate
Just had to be patient
There's a time and a place
No better time than today
On the dock by the bay
Where I can't hear what they say
Watching waves roll in
Bouncing rays off her skin
She just can't wait to get in
Only just friends
But we fuckin' like some runaway kids
Bonnie and Clyde
She always knows when I lie
Secrets inside
Always seem to fall out at night
When she looks in my eyes
She's not surprised by unlimited light
There's a party on the beach, and I think we're tryna go
I was feeling kinda down, so I rolled a little smoke




I got lost I was found and I guess that's how it goes
I just want to live tonight forget it all and let go
