They lied on you, and they're lying on me
Don't worry go on living your life
Because that's the way it ought to be
The waves roll high until the water fall low
They vibe at the trail rides all night
And they dance to zydeco
No, they don't know you, and they don't know me
We're dancing at the zydeco all night
And that's the way things ought to be
Things weren't that easy, but I thought about them
I took one back to move us forward
Retreat one-thousand islands
Beyond horizons things were wild
The people act like wild men
A snitches job to frame a mob is over complicated
I am from Louisiana though I am used to complications
Shout out to Bruce, Paul, Rob
And other seeds that made it
You put in all, but fame can die
If that's the things you're chasing
You've got to work a nine to five
And that's just what we're facing
You can build it up on your own
You just can't be complaisant
Hit up Ali who says his country is not a sovereign nation
He says he'll vote to have a voice
It's better than him slaving
They lied on you, and they're lying on me
Don't worry go on living your life
Because that's the way it ought to be
The waves roll high until the water fall low
They vibe at the trail rides all night
And they dance to zydeco
No, they don't know you, and they don't know me
We're dancing at the zydeco all night
And that's the way things ought to be
Couldn't understand it much
So I took all of the blame
I ignited the spark that's started the flame
Spoke life to dead minds
And restored hearts that were pained
Resurrected all those strong men
Who were lying here lame
So if you are charging something for profit
Then charge this to the game
Looking through a bloody window
The harvest moons in the sky
They love that voodoo
And now they're chasing chicken trying to get by
The lava is hot the molten rock
Burns your feet as you're walking
You're on a journey with a reaper
And can't be dead because you're talking
So confused, love could blind the youth for a time
For years we educate ourselves
And still we are lost in our minds
I will be honest to all my people still on the grind
Learn to unify yourself because together we'll shine
They lied on you, and they're lying on me
Don't worry go on living your life
Because that's the way it ought to be
The waves roll high until the water fall low
They vibe at the trail rides all night
And they dance to zydeco
No, they don't know you, and they don't know me
We're dancing at the zydeco all night
And that's the way things ought to be
Let them lie but I don't worry none
I have wrestled with my God and your Goddess
So don't worry son
Knives in my back, but in my bags
I've got loaded guns
I am coming off a fast, but the task says there's only one
If you are launching an attack
Then be fast it's not Boolean logic
If you don't comprehend then stop it
Because it's not meant for you to get it
Everybody's got a season
And you can't do nothing to miss it
Some seek to get approval
And other seek to get a witness
Some entertain the lies
And others stay up out your business
They lied on you, and they're lying on me
Don't worry go on living your life
Because that's the way it ought to be
The waves roll high until the water fall low
They vibe at the trail rides all night
And they dance to zydeco
No, they don't know you, and they don't know me
We're dancing at the zydeco all night
And that's the way things ought to be
