Tidal Wave

Lloyd Banks


Feel me coming- feel the tremor- hear the thunder 
Of your heart pound 
You're surrounded- no way up to- no way over 
To the higher ground 
I'm sweeping closer- roller coaster on the seven seas- feel the breeze 
I'm breaking down on you- there's no way out 
So scream and shout in Japanese 

Tusnami noyoonee ataku suduwaa 

Can you feel the riptide? 
Are you all washed out? 
A blazing tail-slide 
Past a waterspout 
Feel the reach 
From down below 
Cuz you can't fight 
The undertow 

Hold your breath, be brave, and try to keep cool
I'm going to hit you like a tidal wave 
Crushing you- and now you're caught up in a whirlpool 
I'm going to hit you like a tidal wave 

Prepare yourself- to be breathless- feeling restless 
Keep from being drowned 
Catch the tube- you're racing forward- crouching lower 
At the speed of sound 
All coiled up to inundate you- saturate you- there's no place to hide 
I'll hunt you down as you surf faster- looking back completely petrified 

Can you feel the riptide? 
Are you all washed out? 
A blazing tailslide 
Past a water spout 
Don't fight the current 
Our lives converge 
I'll overwhelm you 
As we both submerge 

Hold your breath, be brave, and try to keep cool 
I'm going to hit you like a tidal wave 
Crushing you- and now you're caught up in a whirlpool
I'm going to hit you like a tidal wave
