White Flag (feat. Bashy, Kano and the National Orchestra for Arabic Music)
Hey, look, yo
No castaway, no survivor
I ain't lost and this ain't shipwrecked
I feel small in this big wide world
And mommy ain't said: Honey I shrunk the kids, yet
I ain't Jesus, but I'm walkin' on water
There's no bombs here, there's no war
'Cause I can break out of jail with a lighter
So is there any point in makin' laws blood?
This ain't Atlantis, are you sure?
I nearly suffocated when I touched the shore
No rain, condoms it poured
And up the road, you'd never guess who I saw
Uh, uh, uh, it's K-A
Look, skip on the beat like Ali in the gym
Honey, I'm home this is where I wanna live
Just found it like Nemo
On the D-low
I don't know if it's greener
But it's green though
On the other side of the fence
Bye to the ends
Look, no feds, no stress, no rent, no superficial shit
This real flow
Where the women look hot, but the beach cold
And the speech goes like: Hi, little lady
Sex on the beach, wanna try for a baby
Word in the village, I'm a little bit crazy
Swag up on a hundred degrees, no A/C
Look, if heaven had a VIP
Uh, this is it, white sand, blue sea
But I don't know who they are
And I'm damn sure they don't know me
But I come in peace
Cool, white flag, white flag
Aha, no war
No guns, no corps
Just life
Just love, no hype
Just fun, no ties
Just me and my mind
Just me and my wife
But tell me if I'm dreamin'
'Cause I don't wanna wake up 'til the evenin'
And I don't wanna be left sleepin'
From all the diseases that I breathe in
Look, respect the island, no stealin'
And don't bring religion here, no three kings
Integrate and then we ain't leavin'
We come on a peace, sing
White flag?
White flag
No castaway, no survivor
I ain't lost and this ain't shipwrecked
I feel small in this big wide world
And mommy ain't said: Honey I shrunk the kids, yet
I ain't Jesus, but I'm walkin' on water
There's no bombs here, there's no war
'Cause I can break out of jail with a lighter
So is there any point in makin' laws blood?
This ain't Atlantis, are you sure?

Uh, uh, uh, it's K-A
