[Intro]
Mm-mm, yeah (woo)
Low lights, high tide — I'm coastin' (yeah)
Soft hum, one-note hum before the drop
[Verse 1]
Last winter in the basement, beats and broken cables
Now my chain got its own weight, rented out the labels
They counted me out, I counted my racks — made it factual
Panoramic moves, automatic flow—fanatical
Studio till four, city skyline put my name on the map
First tour sold out, VIP, everybody clap
Drippin' different, not a clone — they photocopied the frame
I move like tides, silent power, never play the same (nah)
808 slides under me, hi-hats tick like footsteps
Money in the messenger, trust me, I collect checks
Focused on my lane, calendar full, no vacancy
Neighborhood kid with a dream, now I'm living the frequency
[Pre-Hook]
Quiet before the storm, feel the sun through the shade
Made my own weather, now your forecast's changed (woo)
[Hook]
On my wave — can't catch me (can't catch me) (x4 ad-lib: ayy, ooh)
[Verse 2]
They said patience was a virtue, I turned patience to profit
Late nights, cold coffee — now my couch is a cockpit
Loyalty's the code, my crew ride or they get ghosted
Cut the fake smiles off quick, real ones stay toasted
My past got receipts, every loss became the lesson
Inventory of scars, now they hangin' in succession
Rode the currents, braided pace with persistence
Now the skyline reflects me, self-made luminescence
Told my little brother chase it — don't chase clout
We got dinner on the table now, that silence turned to shouts
No more room for drama, we booked out the chapter
Currency in trust, legacy in laughter
[Pre-Hook]
Pull back the curtain, see the scars and the grade
I built the wave myself, watch the whole world trade (yeah)
[Hook]
On my wave — can't catch me (can't catch me) (x4 ad-lib: ayy, yeah)
[Bridge] (8 bars — lower, confessional)
Sometimes I wake with the doubt, phone buzzin', heartbeat loud
Call my mom just to say thanks, keep the prayer on my cloud
Used to sleep on a twin, now the view's for two
Still remember cold pizza, now it's tables with a view
I ain't boastin', I'm just honest — earned the scars and the praise
Learned to move in the silence and let the music raise
Take a breath, then I sail — humble in my own lane
Then I snap back to the flex, then I ride back on my wave (yeah)
[Hook — Final] (Build up with ad-libs)
On my wave — can't catch me (can't catch me) (x6, call-and-response)
[Outro]
On my wave (on my wave) — floatin' past the skyline (woo)
Unbothered, calibrated, steady on my grind (yeah)
On my wave — can't catch me (can't catch me)
(Soft echo: on my wave, on my wave...) (fade)
[Production Notes]
- Hook is a one-line earworm for 15–30s loops: "On my wave — can't catch me"
- Pre-hook lifts two bars before the hook to make chorus hit harder
- Leave space for 808 slides under fast lines, hi-hat triplets on verses
- Ad-libs on offbeats ("ayy," "woo," "yeah") for viral fills
- Bridge drops energy (sparse piano, low sub) then snaps back into full drums for final hook
