Joe $outh - Waves Lyrics

Sunshine, it comes and goes
Sometimes it rains, it snows
You and I can't do a thing to change that
But every time I'ma hold you down
What goes around comes back around
There ain't nothing they can do to change that
Going up and down this coast I see the bad vibes coming in waves
Do what I can to keep from running in place
Running my fingers through the sand I feel the sun in my face
And even when it burns I fall in love with it's rays
Hoping it stays but finding peace in it's bittersweet departure
Enjoy it in the meantime, underneath the pink skies
Sometimes it takes a day alone for me to realize
Some shit that redefines what it means for me to be alive
Or change the way I feel inside, I might be going crazy
Or maybe I just got in touch with myself
Letting my baggage melt away 'cause at the end of my day
It's like what benefits me most is showing love to myself
And planting seeds where the soil is rich, the grass is healthy
In a world where your time is money and cash is wealthy
We should uproot beliefs with the power of us
We just gotta put our value in love
Sunshine, it comes and goes
Sometimes it rains, it snows
You and I can't do a thing to change that
But every time I'ma hold you down
What goes around comes back around
There ain't nothing they can do to change that
First off, Black Lives Matter, it shouldn't be controversial
It shouldn't be no debate to the people jumping these hurdles
Really bending over backwards to delegitimize voices
The voices of Black people who grew up dealing with poisons
And putting up with the pain, shit that you and I don't understand
There's no excuse for not taking a stand
If you enjoy Black culture it better be in you plans
By not taking a stance you've just taken a stance
Rest In Power George Floyd (Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade)
We honor you by making sure the movement's making more noise
Bringing more change to the system
From the concept of police to reforming every aspect of these prisons
And taking power back from these corrupt politicians
Who claim to be the voice of the people but never listen
We could uproot these beliefs with the power of us
We just gotta put our value in love
Sunshine, it comes and goes
Sometimes it rains, it snows
You and I can't do a thing to change that
But every time I'ma hold you down
What goes around comes back around
There ain't nothing they can do to change that
