The Tide lyrics - Hit-Boy x Nas

Baby, baby, baby

Baby, baby, baby

Tsunami

Surf, yeah, gang

I caught the bus in the cold, 'fore I ever touched the icy watch

Stood on my square, now these niggas want me stuck in a box

Checkin' the rear-view in the Urus, had to circle the block

'Cause when you make it from the bottom, they gon' come for your top

Yeah, when you doin' you, they don't like that shit

I hold it down for the clique, with the types of grit

G-Malone CD playin', white lightnin' sticks

While I twist another rapper and I fire that shit, for real

This make me wanna get some game from OGs, you don't know me

They sleepin' on me, that's the main reason, I don't sleep

The times that we livin' in, it could get frightenin'

Imagine seein' Tupac body on IG

How they did PnB, how they did Takeoff

They'll take a hundred years to prove to niggas they ain't soft

Big Hit', sittin' in a hole as I write this

Holdin' your wrist-high, these days is a high risk

So the only thing I trust is my instincts

I'm squintin' through the peep hole, nigga, I've been peeped

All I gotta do is keep movin' intently

And if I go today, I'll live through C3 and this beat

And if I go today, I'll live through C3 and this beat

And if I go today-

Vocal chords got insurance, not Superman or Invincible

Family we ain't see in decades, say he don't give to you

Good ol' boy system, it's still shittin', per usual

Broadway lights, Nas is ghetto-like, that's the musical

Another statement from the kid who made the fade famous

From the Bridge, swirl, sniff, sip reds - Bailey, Caymus

Her BFF's so beautiful, told her "I need the two of you"

We only gettin' older, one day this shit'll be over

Four seasons in Costa Rica, she pretty as Mona Lisa

Yellin' at me on the yacht, fuckin' my inner peace up

Quickly forget a diva, and you don't forget either

They bite the hand that feed 'em, your man is low-key competin'

Be somebody you helped, that got beside theyself

Movin' like it's bodies under they belt

Puttin' problems on you, they couldn't juggle theyself

That's how y'all give it up?

Do anythin' to feel a rush, well, go 'head then live it up

That's why the only thing I trust is my instinct

You squintin' where you see me, I'm so bright and I've been peeped

All I gotta do is keep movin' immensely

If I go today, I'll live through Knight and Destiny

Sink or swim, nigga

Surf or drown

I stand above the surface, another purchase

I know my purpose, hoppin' out in retro Jordan 1's

Six-figure whips, my nigga, we all in one

I count up a milli', don't care if it's all in ones

I take it all in hundreds, anythin' less, that ain't gon' cut it (Cut It)

Took over the game, I'm havin' my way with it

Fuck is they sayin'? This shit is outrageous

It's niggas, don't even get fly as my baby is

This shit is easy, I go the craziest (Crazy), craziest

I go insane, that should be my alias

I can't explain it, sit back in amazement (Amazement)

We really made it, tappin' my cleats, I'm ridin' the basis

Stuck to the basics, baby, two-faced it

Hitters weren't loyal to some of these dudes

I used to tapes with, they gotta face it

Where do I start? They gotta set me apart

Y'all make music, I make art, it's straight from the heart

It's straight from the soul, I'm makin' it known, they gettin' exposed

I live by the cold, they subject to fold, I get to the o's, o's, o's, o's

Surf or drown

I stand above the surface, another purchase

I know my purpose, hoppin' out in retro Jordan 1's

Six-figure whips, my nigga, we all in one

I count up a milli', don't care if it's all in ones
