NILE Lyrics

[00:00.63] One time I took a swim in the Nile
[00:03.46] I swam the whole way, I didn't turn around
[00:06.25] Man, I swear
[00:07.69] It made me relax when I came down
[00:10.12] I felt liberated like free birds, I'm stimulated now
[00:13.86] Plunging away 'less my body's on top
[00:16.98] All of these currents might cost me my life right now
[00:19.75] When danger finds me, it follows with tides
[00:23.26] Many miles ahead of me, still I'm in stride
[00:25.50] She said
[00:26.47] Hey little buddy, where you goin'?
[00:28.53] I'm not sure of how to know I'm still motion
[00:32.11] This ain't regular, I seen regular
[00:35.17] These streams may take me out to the ocean
[00:38.55] Told myself if I dive in it without precaution of a life jacket
[00:42.12] Then I'll dive in it 'til I'm exhausted and I'm type lacking
[00:45.60] Waistline on four deep, senses on forty
[00:48.65] Feel like there's four of me
[00:52.31] One time, I took a swim in the Nile (one time, I took in a swim in the Nile)
[00:55.77] I swam the whole way, I didn't turn around
[00:58.11] Man, I swear (I swear)
[00:59.36] It made me relax when I came down (when I came down)
[01:01.78] I felt liberated like free birds, I'm stimulated now (stimulated)
[01:04.99] Plunging away 'less my body's on top (stimulated, stimulated now)
[01:08.37] All of these currents might cost me my life right now (right now, right now)
[01:11.70] Where danger finds me, it follows with tides (follows with tides)
[01:14.73] Many miles ahead of me, still I'm in stride
[01:17.01] That's some good
[01:18.11] Got the Nile runnin' through my body
[01:21.39] Look at my natural, I'm so exotic
[01:23.90] Darker the berry, sweeter the fruit
[01:27.35] Deeper the wounded, deeper the roots
[01:30.85] Nubian doused in brown, I'm lounging in it
[01:33.85] Fountain of Youth, I said I'm drowning in it
[01:36.95] I'm in the Nile, deep in denial
[01:40.08] I'm in the Nile, deep in denial
[01:42.92] That's some good
[01:43.82]
