Jorja Smith - Lifeboats (Freestyle) Lyrics
Official




And it all falls down, yeah
And it all falls down again
And it all falls down, yeah
And it all falls down

How can you learn how to swim before you get in?
Sometimes you got to take a plunge just to get in
Life's not full of shallow and you house ain't full of arm bands
Stay afloat, someone might put the arm out to help you
I don't know, I would
If I saw somebody drowning in the seas of confusion
I wanna be the one to try and understand why the tide didn't come in
And the lighthouse ain't shining

So why do we all fall down
If there's a reason we can stay afloat?
Why do we watch them drown?
We're too selfish in the lifeboats
Why do we all fall down
If there's a reason we can stay afloat?
Why do we watch them drown?

So why are all the riches staying afloat?
See all my brothers drowning even though they're in the boat
Mothership ain't helping anyone
See, the ships are getting bigger, full of greedy wasteful men
So can kids with the lies before they even got to ten?
Sailing the internet waves, a tsunami of wise
Afloat to take it under if we can't afford the life jackets
Majority don't even have the life jacket
Majority might fool with the tax bracket
So minority might jump to the next bracket
On a phone to sign up for a raft and a paid pocket
With the same old unemployed age bracket
Even money sinks to the bottom when it's watered up
So nobody truly stays afloat

So why do we all fall down
If there's a reason we can stay afloat?
And why do we watch them drown?
We're too selfish in the lifeboats
Why do we all fall down
If there's a reason we can stay afloat?
Why do we watch them drown?

And it all falls down, yeah
And it all falls down again
And it all falls down, yeah
And it all falls down
