Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up early mornin'
Singing everything will be alright
No matter
What they told ya
You know Ima stay right by your side
(And this-and this) Is something that I used to
Ride these waves of life
And I live the way I choose to until the day I die

Got me on another level the feeling won't stop
You know Ima ride and die for ya

I'm ready for war
Ima soulja
If your heart needs rescuing
I've told you before
That I loved ya
And I will til I rest in peace

Baby just hold on
You know I'm here for ya
Yea I'm right here for ya

Baby just hold on
You know I'm here for ya
Yea I'm right here for ya

Keep your head above the water
(Let the-Let the) Problems sink down under and no room for wondering
Fun and games all we got to do now
I suggest you stick around
I'm just hoping that you're here to see
(Hol-hold up) I just wanna keep you to myself (yea)
Where that smile that can bring me back to health (yea)
I thought I told ya that I'll be ya soulja
And trust I'm here to hold ya
I'll never let you let go

(And this-and this) Is something that I used to
Ride these waves of life
And I live the way I choose to until the day I die
Got me on another level the feeling won't stop
You know Ima ride and die for ya

I'm ready for war
Ima soulja
If your heart needs rescuing
I've told you before

Oh my mama girl I swear I'll give you my all
Love's a battlefield I'll take them bullets for ya

Ima soulja
If your heart needs rescuing

That I loved ya
And I will til I rest in peace
Baby just hold on
