Adam James - Ride the Wave Lyrics

Back and forth forming worst opinions
24/7 working, asserting my dominion
Cutting off all of these fake minions
Despicable me, lyrically unleashing all of my worst demons
Release the people that can't f*ck with the vision
I refuse to let another person ever catch me slippin'
It's positive vibes only, keeping these eyes open
Opportunity don't come sleeping, keep my mind focused
Treat every new project like it's my magnum opus
Platinum status my onus, I own it
Suitcase packed with a suit and tie and a few Trojans
It's business in the morning
In the evening who knows if I'll find another woman to ease my troubles a few moments?
Really that's typical
Force is centripetal, running around in circles 'til my feet swell up and split open
Critics are cynical 'cause I defeat their pinnacle on a daily basis

Airplane in a rat race with one game token, Lord of the Rings, Tolkien
Rings like a champion
Talk success with my haters it's like I'm speaking Mandarin
Candid candor, pardon my manners, I'm very direct with everybody
Or maybe you've just never heard the truth from anybody
Everyone's texting obsessively, symptom of our modern age
So when I come at you direct you actin' buddy-buddy

But really I know the truth
Faces covered in lies, but I can see right through
I can see it in your eyes that you just might lose your confidence
Then you'll show me a magic trick like "poof", damn
Sooner or later y'all disappear
If you're making shit complicated I don't need you here
I got enough spirit, you ghosts don't ever need to haunt me
Though neither God or the devil are very fond of me
I'm constantly switching sides, I'm always swapping teams
Either very sublime, or very obscene
I could take her to dinner, tell her follow her dreams
Or I could take her home, ask her to get on her knees
But this isn't the pew, this is not a confession
I'm just obsessed with success, cashing checks and perfection
Some of these women with perfect complexions catch my affection
We form a connection but then I forget 'em

Cause I'm too caught up in the wave
Got too much on my mind girl, I can't see you today
They might find another man but tell me that I was great
But I can't get caught in my feelings, I've got money to make
And I've got business to do, I've got something to prove
I got ice in my veins, I got spikes in my shoes
Because I race to the finish when I'm here in the booth
And right now I've got nothing to lose, nothing to lose

Riding this wave, cause I needed to find a way to live my life for me
Something that I couldn't see
Spent too much of my time trying to make it right by saying
What I know people want to hear in the moment
Riding this wave, cause I needed to find a way to live my life for me
Something that I couldn't see
Spent too much of my time trying to make it right
Just by saying what people want to hear in the moment

I've been riding the wave and why follow my lead?
And I don't know what I want to hear people say in the moment
Love under my eyes, now there's smoke in my eyes that I'm clearing out
