Turtle Tides

[Verse] Mm [?] style A little colder than the weather, I'm on turtle time Slidin' with the tide And on my back, a little turtle shine [Verse] Hmm Funky as the baddest player on the street And movin' slow as Sunday on a turtle beach I told you once, I gotta make the turtle speech [Chorus] (What'd you say?) Look, I get paid to ride the waves Look, I get paid to ride the waves Look, I get paid to ride the waves Look, I get paid to ride the waves Hmm [Verse] I'm the turtle of the town, can't tell me nothin' But you could ask about me, I bet you they say somethin' A little sun, a little somethin' to sip I live in slow-mo, yeah, I do it like this [Verse] Poke my head out, peek around, smell the sea breeze [?] only got one speed [?], same as last week Shine like the ocean, I was born to be a little [clean] [Verse] Man, I keep a good tan, never need to pretend Just me and my friends, meet us on the weekend And on the weekdays, turtle life It's a circle of life, you know I keep it all right You know it's better when it's nice and slow And I been down with that my whole life I can teach you, you know The whole world moves fast, but we go at our own pace You know And they say you gotta change it But this is just how it goes, this is how we live it On turtle time, baby, so come with me [?] this way Mm, you get what I mean? Ah, I'm done talkin' [Outro – Melodic Toasting Style / Mixed Rhyme Patterns] mm, yeah.. S.........Slow and steady, that’s the plan, No rush, no race — that’s how I am. I carry peace wherever I go, "wo!" No need to stress, I let it flow. "flow ow ow" Like a turtle in my shell, "well.." I dip inside to rest and dwell. "ride the swell" Far from the noise, away from the crowd, I find my calm where it’s not loud. [Final Chorus] But when it’s time, I lift my head, I face the world with love instead. Even turtles need to roam — So bring your shell, and make it home. [Instrumental Interlude – soft ocean waves, dubby echoes, warm bassline] “Slow and steady wins the race…” -That’s the turtle way. [ call and response] [claps and whistles] [crowd] “Slow and steady wins the race…” -That’s the turtle way. “Slow and steady wins the race…” -That’s the turtle way. “Slow and steady wins the race…” -That’s the turtle way. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah ride the wave.... [ call and response] “Slow and steady wins the race…” -That’s the turtle way. “Slow and steady wins the race…” -That’s the turtle way. “Slow and steady wins the race…” -That’s the turtle way.
