Wave by Adiga Lyrics
[Intro]
Ok, yeah
Out of the loop. baby, yeah
I'm out of the loop, baby, yeah
Ok
[Verse 1]
It’s the kid from the middle east with the big dreams
Thinking 'bout MSG while I barely get streams
Getting over my fears
Going after my dreams
Expressing all my of feels
Rise above all of the screams
Don’t give a shit how it deals
Going big steps just like Neil's
Capture the moment like stills
Diving so deep I got fins
Saying it is how it is
Showing you it really means
Going on a journey, it’s all deeper than it seems
And you know why they say
Ay ay ay ay
If you want then you can
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna show you the way
Ay ay ay ay
To free yourself of your chains
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
To rise above of the chance
Ay ay ay ay
It’s all inside of your head
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You make your meaning so just never stop
Know yourself and enjoy the art
It's more than rap
[Chorus]
My life is like a wave
It goes up and it comes back down
I don't expect you to understand
But I just know I'll never drown
Never drown
Yeah, I'll never drown
Never drown
[Verse 2]
Sixteen, sixteen years I gave my everything and got blood and tears
And six scars on my shoulder
And some scars within
But somehow I still smile
Somehow I still dream
But some nights I go back in time
Remember the past like a bad broadcast
It’s always blurry
I remember being in a hurry to the spot waiting for my coach to pick me up
Go to the Tel Aviv gym
Getting to the Olympic games, that was my dream
But from a young age I knew the chances are slim
'Cause I’m not the most gifted on my team
All the other kids are beating me in everything
I was a fighter though
Not giving up, holding in the tears like an alcoholic hold a cup
I was addicted to the dream to win a cup
And while everybody else was gone I was still there after all those years holding on
[Chorus]
My life is like a wave
It goes up and it comes back down
I don't expect you to understand
But I just know I'll never drown
Never drown
Yeah, I'll never drown
Never drown
[Verse 3]
Warm summer days
Cold winter nights
Doesn’t matter the weather, I never feel alright
I’m way too hard on myself, the little voice in my head tells me that I’m a loser, that I got no real friends
That I don’t deserve love and affection
I let it play for a while but find the strength to take action
Lift myself up from the ashes, the fire doesn’t burn me anymore, now I control it
I’m tryna do big things but just being is the most beautiful thing
I meditate and I create, I see a song in every clean plate
I don’t carry weight from the past anymore, I remember who I do things for
It’s not a war, I’m just one book in a big book store
I open the door, now I go to the shore and watch my wave from the side
I let myself float and write this note then wave it goodbye
I'm not controlled anymore
[Bridge]
My life is like a wave
It goes up and it comes back down
I don't expect you to understand
But I just know I'll never drown
Never drown
Yeah, I'll never drown
Never drown
[Outro]
I was stuck in a loop, then I hit a wall
Opened two paths that I can take: can I rise, or do I fall?
But maybe, if you'll look at it from the right perspective, you'll see
That it's all just being human
Ok, yeah
Out of the loop. baby, yeah
I'm out of the loop, baby, yeah
Ok
[Verse 1]
It’s the kid from the middle east with the big dreams
